Notre Dame reportedly joining ACC in all sports but football. 5 football games with ACC per year.
Will be interesting to see if it is a stepping stone to full membership down the line... http://espn.go.com/college-sports/st...e-football-acc |

It's official: http://www.theacc.com/genrel/091212aaa.html
Additional change: $50 million ACC exit fee (actually 3X current operating budget--so it will go up with time). |

The ACC strikes back.
Sort of.

But those schools leaving for the Big XII was a little far-fetched in the 1st place. |

Kinda sucks we can't get Florida State or Clemson.
People with a better understanding of the contract, does it stay the same if we add two schools so its less money per school, or is there room for more money(so its at least equal for all the schools currently)? Because aren't we supposed to have a Championship game as part of the deal with the Champions Bowl with the SEC? I haven't been keeping track since football actually started getting close.

I'm glad we didn't bend over for ND. That deal really worked out well for the Big East, didn't it?
I imagine the new exit penalty doesn't go into effect immediately. This is going to allow schools that want out, to get out within a certain window. I think the sqeeze is actually on the SEC more than the B12 at this point. The SEC wantsto expand their market and restructure their deal. They wanted into the Virginia and North Carolina markets. Most guesses were they want the B12 to take from the ACC first. The B12 is comfortable at 10, they have a contract that allows them to expand without loss in payout if they want. 10 is a comfortable number, 14 sucks. The B1G hasn't given any inkling of wanting to expand and the PAC has a voting block against it due to California access. So, if any ACC teams are going to bolt, my guess is that it will be the SEC trying to push it to happen. If it does, then others may bolt too. If not, looks like we're set for at least another decade.

The university presidents already approved it. The ACC outmaneuvered people. Their teams are staying. And they get bonus points for not having their news leak. It was the same with with the UConn/Pitt additions. I just woke up one Sunday morning and it was done. Same thing here. |

I think that most people think that ND will help the ACC in future renegotiating of their non bcs bowl games. If they get a better list of games (or even just one additional one) because ND is in their conference, then nobody is going to be complaining...

My how opinions around here has changed so fast. Go back and read some of the ND to the Big 12 posts. Now that they picked the ACC over the Big 12 it's no big deal.

ND as a full member would be another story. This deal is good for ND only. |

The key to me is the $50M+ exit fee. If one reads through this thread, I don't see how anyone can say this deal (with the exit fee) isn't huge for the ACC. And please don't say that they could have raised the exit fee this much without ND on board. It wouldn't have happened.
ND is already playing four ACC schools (if you include Pitt) this year anyway, so I don't think they'll have any problem going to five schools when Syracuse and Pitt join the ACC. |

Why do conferences need exit fees?
