The source that sent me to google a story on the Notre Dame TV deal also recommended and article on rivals.com urging Notre Dame to join the ACC asap. His point is that as conferences get bigger, teams have less scheduling flexibility for non-conference games and that could leave Notre Dame without any high profile national games (except USC) after September. And if Notre Dame can't play ranked national teams, then NBC will be taking a bath on their TV deal. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-wetzel_notre_dame_should_jump_to_acc_091911 -- TV or Not TV ....
