Notre Dame going to the ACC in everything but football (SB Nation). More from ESPN.
ND to the Big 12 was a fool’s hope anyway. But a $50 million exit fee(!) means that Florida State won’t be thinking about it either.
As the first linked post says, the Irish get to have their cake and eat it too. Out of the discombobulated mess that is college sports in the 2010s, the brass ring has kept itself out of everyone’s grasp.
To refresh: Iowa State is one of 10 BCS teams after this year that Notre Dame has never played. (Wake Forest is scheduled for this year.) Virginia Tech will fall off that list eventually as the ACC mandate in Notre Dame’s schedule is phased in.
EDIT: The first ND-Wake game was last year. They also play this year.
