Tell them to pack a lunch.
ND is 25-1 versus ACC teams in regular season games since 2017.
P.S. Beating ND will not change its mind about independence, anyway.
It never did in the past. It won't in the future.
It is about what is best for the program, its brand and the school, not feeling "special".
Why would anyone want a school to "cave" and be forcibly raped into a conference against its will, anyway ?
Kentucky Basketball and Alabama Football feel the same way. The difference, They enjoy beating up on Their conference mates almost every year
ND football is not Kentucky basketball or Alabama football.
Those institutions freely choose to play in a conference.
ND football has freely chosen another model.
It has worked out okay for them.
I seriously dated three Catholic girls back in the day. (Not at the same time mind you - only Baptist girls forgive that). Only one was a football fan. Nominally she was a big Penn State fan but was also a secret ND fan. When asked why, she said "because I'm Catholic". The other two who would not have understood the difference between a football and golf ball both claimed to be ND fans despite not knowing who the hell Dan Devine was, yet when asked in public, both would proclaim they were ND fans.
My point is that it was in their DNA along with their Irish, Italian, Spanish, and French DNA. I just don't see the ACC gaining something by taking away something is unique to ND, nor do I see a compelling reason.
