Where do you think ND ends up in that scenario, if any?

Doubtful.
Independent in football, everything else back in the new and improved, super big east along with new members Duke, Miami and Wake Forest.
Perhaps.
Don't think anyone knows how much more exactly until cable deals are reached, TV rights renegotiated, etc...
There may be estimates on those types of numbers, but I haven't looked to see if they are available.
I would think with the Big Ten Network the average revenue per team is higher in the Big Ten then what an ACC school receives. I'm sure that will change with schools swapping places, but who really knows the exact effect until after a few years has gone by.
Those Domers will do anything to hold onto that football independence.Independent in football, everything else back in the new and improved, super big east along with new members Duke, Miami and Wake Forest.
With ND already agreed to move their non-football sports to the ACC and to play 5 football games against ACC opponents, I wonder if Maryland's exit fee would be enough to convince ND to play Maryland's full conference schedule, thus eliminating the need for the ACC to add another team.Those Domers will do anything to hold onto that football independence.
If that happened, that probably saves the ACC for the forseeable future. That puts all the eyes back on the big12 to see if they can keep it together once the grant of rights expires, or if by that time Texas has given up on the lhn and decided it's time to drag Tech and the Okies to the Pac.

I think the ACC will scramble to add someone else for all sports, but it won't be Notre Dame. They may ask ND, but they will get a polite and private "No Thanks"
ND is not that concerned about money. ND wants control, I don't think they would get that if they just replaced Maryland.
Agree that would probably be ND's response. At that point I think the ACC would just add Louisville and that would be it for movement among the Power 5 conferences. The big east would be at 10 teams and may or may not feel motivated to add a couple CUSA teams at that point.
So you don't really know why they want to leave.
I didn't think so.
There is the re ed stick I know.
Never said I didn't know why they wanted to leave. You obviously didn't read post #48 very well. Shocker
That sounds to simple and makes sense.
No way it gets done.
It is quite the mystery why Maryland would want to leave for the big 10. Fortunately for blake, someone else was curious enough about this to ask Maryland's president about it. Even took the time to write a whole article about it.
What'dya know? It's about the money. Never saw that coming........NEW YORK (AP) -- Maryland is joining the Big Ten, leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference in a shocker of a move in the world of conference realignment that was driven by the school's budget woes.
The announcement came Monday at a news conference with school President Wallace D. Loh, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany and athletic director Kevin Anderson.
''The membership of the Big Ten enables us to guarantee the financial sustainability of Maryland athletics for a long, long, long time,'' Loh said.
Loh added that Maryland athletics has been living ''paycheck to paycheck.'' The school had eliminated seven sports programs earlier this year.
''The director and I are absolutely committed to begin the process to reinstate some of the teams we had to terminate,'' Loh said.

Maryland is a basketball school...with teams like Duke, UNC, WF, Syracuse, and Pitt why in the would they bolt.
Why are other conferences conspiring to kill the ACC too ?
$$$
$$$Why are other conferences conspiring to kill the ACC too ?
Yep. All about the dollars and nothing else.
Something else to think about with this latest realignment round. How much longer until San Diego State and Boise State realize there's no longer any benefit or point to them being in the Big East? Both those schools should be talking to the Moutain West right about now.
I read your post very well, stick. I asked a question, you answered as a matter of fact, stick.
Next time, say it's a guess, stick or don't get so butthurt when I call you out, stick.
But I'm betting you'll stay butthurt, stick. It's what you do.
For Maryland yes. For Aggy, no.
There's REALLY no benefit or point to staying in the Mountain Worst with their ful television contract, tbh...
Now comes the real question. How many times did you have to read it so that you actually understood it?
Over/Under is 10.5
Smh ohio
Yeah, I think you're right. Even without Rutgers and whoever the ACC takes, the Big East is still in more major media markets than the Moutain West would be. Probably the right move for them to stay committed to the BE.
Edit: Although this story is now out there on ESPN.

Tulane, East Carolina joining Big East
UTSA, please proceed to the on-deck circle. You're up next for a Big East callup.
Good luck in the "big" East, BSU and SDSU. Turns out AF, BYU, and Fresno all turned down invites.
