Why is it a bad idea to insult an octopus? Because it is well-armed.

How did they get the confession out of the hamburger patty? They grilled him.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. Those numbers appear to be per school.
SEC (16 Members)
B1G (18 Members)
ACC (17 Members)
B12 (16 Members)
I don't know how much was known and when, so I won't dispute that. My point was mainly that if Young was able to put together just a slightly more rounded-out roster (with a veteran PG and another scorer, for instance), this team would probably be pretty good. I'm sure some of that is on Young, but it sounds like VTs basketball "salary cap" is probably holding him back as well.
It's my understanding that the hoops program knew that Miller could have been involved, but his NIL cost was super cheap so we went for it anyway.
The fact that this question seemingly gets asked every season has to count for something, right??
Doubtful but you never know what can happen when a team gets hot. One thing is for sure: No one is doing more with less in the ACC than Young.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. I realized that a long time ago. Swofford got worked in that deal. ND only does what's in the best interest of ND, there is no benefit whatsoever to that affiliation other than a little cash on the margins as bar1990 put it best for the ACC.

The huge one was Derrius Monroe. Before the twitter days, you got bits and pieces of info. He was labeled a "coke dealer" and Beamer took huge flack for not booting him off the team. He was a productive DT- a tough position to fill- had he been a scout team guy he would have been cut. And then there was the summer of love - 96 IIRC- where football players thought it was cool to beat people up at TOTS and Sharkeys as if there were no consequences- a bunch of arrests painted the program as rogue.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. ND being in the ACC in no way impacts their standing for the playoff. They bring in way too much national media attention and eyeballs, they are a blue blood program. ESPN has zero leverage on them.
If ND walked away from the ACC deal today they would be fine for the playoff. They would honestly most likely park their other sports back in the Big East and schedule a few marquee football games against the B1G and SEC and continue on their merry way.
Highly doubtful, CMY is already punching up as is. The athletic department has shown Bball is still second to football, I just didn't expect it to be so far below. It's almost embarrassing for a school that wants to be considered a major athletic program.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. this reads like a heavily slanted pro-acc propaganda piece. And that's kinda funny because it still paints the ACC as being well behind the P2.
What I would love to see, though, is the average payout per school per year for all of these contracts. That what really matters. What is each school getting, in total, per year.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. They seemed to do just fine with just 1 out of those 3 this year. This is less about ND needing the ACC to be relevant (they dont) and more about ESPN needing ND to lift the ACC ratings specifically for those three teams because those are the ones complaining the most about how important they are to the conference and they deserve more than an equal share of the revenue.
