    Re: Stupid Move IMO

    Texas knew they wouldn't be able to keep the Longhorn network as it is if they joined the Pac 12. They felt they had a better chance of that in the ACC. There were numerous articles coming out of Texas preferring the ACC.

    ND is basically the same with their NBC deal, I also read where someone from ND was quoted saying if they are forced to join a conference, the ACC would be their first choice.

    So I would imagine their is at least a small chance of ND joining the ACC. Texas, however, will probably be staying put.

    Here is a few lines taken from an article on ESPN today involving conference expansion.

    According to a source close to Notre Dame, the Irish's first choice is to remain as an independent in football and stay in the Big East in all other sports.

    If the Irish decide they can't remain as a football independent then the choice would be to pursue the ACC before the Big Ten.

    You must have missed this post I made a couple of days ago. The article is linked at the bottom.

    Yep. I see that in that arcticle. Drew said articles which led me to believe it was in the articles he posted, which it wasn't and had no mention. Also with that article, there's zero mention of ND having interest in the ACC or any mention of ND talking to the ACC. It was some anonymous source who said that's what they thought. At least you posted a link to at least a credible story to read which is all I asked for to start with. I missed that post in there with all of the ones that Drew linked. Thank you.
