nuordr Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 and the Big East LogoBreaking News: Notre Dame is moving to the ACC in all sports...except Football according to USA Today. I really wish the fighting Irish would give up their independence in football and just join a league, but then again, I understand why they are doing it. So what does everyone think about this move?

Coheed Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 With the Big East going down the crapper, I see why they wanted to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm surprised that the BC$ cartel hasn't told Notre Dame by now that either they join a BC$ conference in football or get screwed over with the rest of the non-AQ's.

Any chance the BCS has to put ND into a game instead of Maryland, Louisville or UConn, it's going to take. Why jeopardize the relationship?

Any chance the BCS has to put ND into a game instead of Maryland, Louisville or UConn, it's going to take. Why jeopardize the relationship?That is obviously true or they'd be fully in a conference. But I have to assume it's going to go away soon if ND does not become a powerhouse. I am pushing 40 and (while I admit this is a gut feeling) I don't think there is that much ND fanship in my age group. I recall their last National Title in 1988 and their near title in 1993, but most of my memories are of mediocrity and being overrated into BCS blowouts. Someday, something will have to give; either they have to rise again or they'll be just another program, at which time they'll be joining a conference.

TimEOBrien Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 B1G doesn't want them.It's true. Because ND refuses to join a football league (something that already pisses off the B1G) the addition of a 13th team in all other sports screws up all the hard work over the last few years to create divisions, simplify schedules and organize the league in general. Plus, that would be a 13th team cutting into the BTN profits and yet they have their own football TV deal. Not cool.Unless the Irish would relent - completely - on the football issue, the whole them joining the B1G is a real non-starter (TV contract issues notwithstanding).ND has just as many ties to ACC teams these days as B1G so the move makes some sense. It'll be nice to watch them get pounded in the B1G/acc challenge though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claystation360 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm liking it they could be like a ACC swing team if they play one more team then ND could play 3 from the Atlantic and 3 from the coastal divisions, Along with still playing USC Michigan.They need to get the ACC onto NBC and NBCS for a few games for a lot more national exposure. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someday, something will have to give; either they have to rise again or they'll be just another program, at which time they'll be joining a conference.I am in somewhat agreement with you...having attended nd/stanford a few years ago (charlie's last game)I was shocked at how many nd fans were still in attendance as I thought most of the casual tv fans would have gone to greener pastures...given that the alumni base is not huge, but supportive my conclusion was that the catholic ties kept the older generations connected and their kids became fans so in that case being an nd fan is more inheritance based than being attracted to their football reputation.

Kevin W. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'd like to see a graph of Notre Dame's ratings on NBC. Let's see if they still justify that exclusive agreement. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claystation360 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So how does this effect the ACC or Big East logos ? Just Asking ? #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So how does this effect the ACC or Big East logos ? Just Asking ?The ACC logo has stars where each School is...and I'm not entirely sure but Notre Dame might be out of frame (not sure though)Big East is unrelated to this, but they are talking about changing the name which would result in a new logo.

Kevin W. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, South Bend is west of the edge of that map so they'd have to extend it.

Cujo Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Or they could just ditch the "map" use the logo they primarily use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Though they would've had to change the logo up anyway next year with Cuse and Pitt (granted that involves adding two dots and be done with it) Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Or they could just ditch the "map" use the logo they primarily use.Pass because I love the map logo. It wouldnt be hard to move it to the right a little to include Notre Dame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
