I've heard that talk, but the B12 boards had some of the same talk a few months back. Personally, I wouldn't want ND as a partial member unless it was with agreement that it would soon be full membership, If ND is going to the ACC, then it will probably be as a partial member. Afterall, why make a separate Orange Bowl deal if you were planning to join the conference contracted with it, anyway?
I don't think it will matter to FSU either way. Not even ND/partial member can make up the money gap between the ACC and the B12. If ND is coming as a full member, then it means they got some sweetheart deal that's more likely to piss FSU off. These dead times are full of misinformation, deliberately set free, with various purposes in mind.

Either way the ACC is fine. None of these conferences are going anywhere. It's funny that after all of this pretty much any school will be eligible to win the NC instead of just BCS level conferences.
It's more convoluted than ever.

The other thing about B-Rush is that he never lied. Coach Self would be like, “Did everyone make curfew last night?

Coach Self would ask him why he didn’t make curfew and he’d say, “Because the club was crackin’!” Everyone would laugh and he’d make B-Rush run a little bit. |

I disagree, the net effect will be that schools not from the Big 4 conference will find it even more difficult to get into the playoffs. They'll be some sort of RPI that will take in conference difficulty combined with a selection committee. You would have to have an undefeated team with quality opponents, and if your conference doesn't offer it, then it will handicap you. When they were projecting what form this type of selection might look like, only 2007 Virginia Tech would have made it in the BCS era.

Or were they just never voted in? I never paid that much attention because the system seemed so random.

Basically, if you lost once, you couldn't get in, whereas a BCS auto bid school could lose once or twice, and if it won its conference, still get a shot.

There are no "auto bid" conferences in name, but the Big 4 will make it very difficult for anyone not from one of their conferences to crash their party.

The system, clunky though it may be, does a better job of crowning the best team as champion than any sport at any level.
