#ND source say there were some informal talks a while back with #ACC, but not about joining. "Zero interest in joining their conference."

Oh, and Swaim has been so spot on with his "source". I think his source is a Ouija Board. Has he gotten anything right? Answer no.

He's gotten everything Big 12 related right.

Conference Realignment Not Dead?

by Greg Swaim on September 26, 2011

Late Sunday night we received word from a trusted source in the midwest that Louisville received an offer from the Big 12 on Friday afternoon. And while the Cardinals are the only program we know for sure has an offer, we know there have been informal talks with BYU and Cincinnati as well, and offers could be coming their way, if they haven’t already.

So, according to Greg Swaim, did Louisville turn down the Big 12?

Of course, I hope Notre Dame remains in our conference. But, if they were to leave, I think theACC would be a better fit for them-for geography, media markets, demographics, and academic profiles. This rumor makes more sense than the idea that Notre Dame plans to completely abandon the Northeast and Florida for the Great Plains.

But going to the Big 12 would allow them to keep third tier TV rights. For Notre Dame, that would be a significant revenue stream. For an extra $10mil/year, I doubt that ND would care too much about geography.

For Notre Dame, geography and culture do influence the exposure to its fanbase. It contributes to fan interest and probably attendance to games-leading to independent revenue for the university.

I know there is a financial disparity between the conference tv contracts. But, Notre Dame would likely get a favorable restructuring of the ACC's tv deal.

The ACC makes more sense for them than the Big 12 does.

Notre Dame should goto the ACC if they wish to. Also it would be easier to maintain some of those annual games they play ( Michigan, Navy, Stanford or USC).

Did your "unnamed source" identify that FSU was talking to the Big 12 months ago?

What has your "unnamed source" gotten right?

But you wouldn't be complaining if USF was having the meeting with ACC folks, I'd wager.

Notre Dame, ACC Meeting Likely Involves Orange Bowl Somehow

Jul 09 6:11a by Jason Kirk

Read More: Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The debate has been underway for decades now: When will Notre Dame join a conference, and which one? The Big Ten was the favorite for decades (literally), but now the argument centers on the Big 12 and the ACC. The former could offer an independent-friendly spirit, considering Texas' largesse, while the latter offers similar universities and a couple former rivals.

Clemson site Tiger Illustrated reported Sunday that the Irish and the ACC have met, but not necessarily that conference realignment is the entire agenda.

Remember the ACC's new Orange Bowl deal, which gives the league half-ownership of a bowl that's included in the new playoff plan's big six bowls? A Notre Dame-ACC bowl would be a valuable property, and a win for both sides. The Irish could be guaranteed a spot at the table -- provided they win, say, nine games or achieve a certain ranking -- and the ACC could have a bowl that would do numbers, whether we like it or not. And often better numbers than it could get if it paired with the Big East's champ, an at-large, or the SEC's runner-up. If people watched the Champs Sports Bowl pairing of FSU and Notre Dame last year (and they did), they'd certainly watch the same game featuring the ACC's champ.

But that's all speculation for now.

Now Yahoo has a little more to lose if this is a made up story. i wouldn't have posted it, if it were some more GS hooey. No offense Ernesto, I just think we need to keep that crackpot out of future discussions.

Didn't you blast me 2 weeks ago for discrediting @gswaim? what side of the fence are you on?

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
