Maybe.

Last year this time they were playing five this year.

Give it up already. The ND schedules for the next three years have already been announced.

I know...
Our Tiger Fan doesn't realize moving leagues isn't seamless.

I guess our Syracuse fan doesn't realize it's bad business to sign a contract saying you'll do one thing when you don't know for sure if you can or not.

Nobody forced Notre Dame to want to start the agreement in 2014 in football, in fact the ACC was perfectly happy to wait two years for Notre Dame to join the conference in accordance to the exit clause with their former conference. Notre Dame was the one who wanted out of the lame duck years in the Big East and agreed to start the football deal in 2014 when they knew they had too many games scheduled.

But I guess when you are a fan of a school who has been bending over and taking it from the parasites for over 20 years you just assume it's natural to get dicked over by them yet again.

That "parasite" is making Clemson money (as mentioned above), taking no football money from the ACC and may have just kept the ACC together by joining.

ND joining the ACC may have saved Clemson from the fate of having to play in the Dust Bowl of the Big 12, another conference whose fate is uncertain.

You ***** all the time about the ACC, but the SEC is not calling Clemson up and the Big 12 would suck for the Tigers, putting them on Gilligan's Island with WVU.

It's not a problem that ND has switched one of its committed games from 2014 to 2015. The game is an ND home game. ND will still play 2 games at ACC sites in 2014 and 3 in 2015 as previously committed, which is all that we get TV money for anyway.
