[quote=Anonymous][quote]And apparently Bevaqua is mad at the ACC for advocating to put an ACC team in the playoffs but it's okay for him to advocate to put ND in the playoffs? And don't even get me started on the weirdness of ND pitching a fit at the ACC when it's *in* the ACC, and only remains independent in football because they want to keep all their TV/sponsorship money for themselves. Like the lack of self awareness there is ridiculous. The ACC would welcome ND football with open arms, even now, but they don't want to be a part of it. Yet Bevaqua thinks he can tell the ACC not to advocate for itself.[/quote]

This is the most absurd part of this story.  There are honest disagreements about which of Miami, Alabama and Notre Dame should have gotten the final spot, and I can sympathize with ND's complaints about the process.  I even understand not playing in another bowl, although I think it's got more than a whiff of "take my ball and go home."

But the complaints about the ACC are pure nonsense.  Schools that make the CFP get a substantial payday, and their conferences share in that.  ND football has stayed independent because of the substantial financial benefits of doing so, but now wants the ACC to forego advocating for their own financial and other interests, and their football member schools' interests, because ND plays basketball and lacrosse in the ACC?  It's an absolutely ridiculous position.  [/quote]
