[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOTRE DAME is pushing hard & using its influence with the ACC to encourage the ACC to expand and accept Stanford & UCal-Berkeley.[/quote]

All they have to do is agree to join as a full member and the ACC will do whatever they want. If they don’t agree, they have no leverage[/quote]

(OP here):

Whether or not Notre Dame has leverage with the ACC, I see this as an attempt to pressure the Big Ten Conference.

Hopefully, someone in the Big Ten Conference will take a minute to consider the visual that I posted above regarding academic rankings of D-1 football schools.

Of course, the Big Ten Conference almost certainly has pressure from some of its members to not crowd the West Coast high school recruiting market.

The next several days could well unleash dramatic changes to big time college football.[/quote]

I’m sure they also have members reminding them that the last time they took schools solely for markets, they got Rutgers and Maryland and neither of them are competitive on the field and both will be anchors when subscriptions and not carriage fees matter[/quote]

Maryland has been a success for the Big Ten Conference; Rutgers is still struggling, however.[/quote]
