A couple of days ago, JimmyG bucked a usual trend on this site and said that Notre Dame’s full membership in the ACC was a conversation worth having. When Jimmy approached me about going for this, I thought about turning it into another DEBATE THIS back and forth. For anyone that’s followed my work here on HLS or anyone that heard me give a rather passionate history lesson about the Irish’s independence, you know exactly where I stand.
Notre Dame should absolutely remain independent until it no longer makes sense. That is, until the college football playoff decides conference membership and/or a conference title is a requirement.
