Just got off the phone with someone who believes this eventually leads to two megaconferences - the Big Ten and SEC - with 20 or more members apiece.

The SEC and Big Ten will have 16 teams by 2025 at the latest, and that number could increase in the near future. That was before Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC. To this point, Notre Dame's five-game arrangement with the ACC has worked. Both teams made the College Football Playoff. 7, 2020 in NBC’s highest-rated ND game in 27 years before losing the ACC championship game to the Tigers 34-10. Notre Dame did join the ACC in football for one year in 2020 because of COVID-19, and it was a huge success. That grant of rights deal includes language that if Irish choose to join a conference in football before 2036, they are contractually obligated to join the ACC. ESPN's contract with the ACC runs through 2036. The deal with NBC runs through 2025 and draws approximately $15 million per year. The Irish are hitched to a pair of television contracts. What are the possible scenarios for the program that has steadfastly held on to its independent status through all the college football realignments of the last 30 years. Would Notre Dame entertain joining one of those superconferences? Would the deal that ties the Irish to the ACC hold up in the brave new college football world? Will Notre Dame somehow stay independent? The Irish's future in the college football landscape might be more a pertinent issue at this point.

On Thursday, the news in South Bend was that the Irish would wear green jerseys for this year's game against Cal.

The Big Ten would join the SEC as a 16-team superconference, and both might not be done adding teams. On Thursday, John Wilner reported that 'USC and UCLA are planning to leave for the Big Ten as early as 2024.' That is the next major realignment shakeup that is sure to be felt across the FBS. That question isn't as ridiculous as it would have sounded 24 hours ago. Every team will be part of the ACC bowl selection process and if Notre Dame wins the ACC Championship Game, the Fighting Irish will be eligible for the Orange Bowl, if not selected as a College Football Playoff semifinal team, according to the release.Will Notre Dame play USC for the Big Ten championship someday? 19 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will feature the top two teams based upon highest conference-game winning percentage. The 2020 ACC Championship Game will be held on Dec. There will only be one ACC division during the 2020 season, and all television revenue for the season, including Notre Dame's home games that are broadcast by NBC, will be shared equally among the 15 schools. 'All non-conference game opponents, selected by the respective school, must be played in the home state of the ACC institution, and all non-conference opponents must meet the medical protocol requirements as agreed upon by the ACC,' according to the news release.
