They really don;t need it from a schedule or access POV - 5 ACC games, plus Stanford, USC and Navy gives them a core 8 games, and there is no shortage of schools that want to play the Irish and will even bend their schedules to take them in October or November. But the reality is the ACCN potential is something they need to get a piece of.

ND already contractually is set to get a full share of any ACC Network distributions, just like every other ACC school.

The latest deal signed last July guarantees ND this WITHOUT having to join in football through 2036.

That is why you just saw ND and the ACC announce those games through 2037.



One day after the ACC and ND announce scheduled games through 2037, Brando tells us otherwise.

He said the same thing back before the ACC Network and the new GOR was announced.

If this was in the works (as Brando says), why did ND and the ACC agree to the contractual provision that says that ND doesn't have to join in football through 2036, but gets a full ACC Network share?

That is a lot of effort and negotiations for...nothing?

Why not announce ND to the ACC at the same time as the ACC Network announcement last year?

What a big splash that would have made! That would have been big news indeed.

Didn't happen.

Why go to the bother of making the schedule announcement if it is "fake news" and was never meant by either side?

It just doesn't make "walking around sense".

Brando has always been a blowhard. He lives in Shreveport, is an SEC honk and has no ties to ND.

Brando thinks that ND going to the ACC would someone help the SEC....somewhere deep inside of that brain of his is some sort of thought that ND joining the ACC full time would benefit his precious SEC. I haven't figured it out how yet, but I will figure it out and post. Brando lives in Shreveport? Wow, I feel sorry for Shreveport.
