Why Notre Dame Is In No Rush To Join The ACC In Football

The ACC Network will at least theoretically pay off for each conference team - but less so for Notre Dame.

The Irish remain proudly independent in football and so get a smaller cut of conference revenues.

But they surely don't care.

Between 2014-16 Notre Dame made an average $112 million off of football and $72 million of that was profit.

There wasn’t another ACC team in the Top 25, not even Clemson. This tends to underscore why the ACC Network is coming on line at all. It would have to make a huge amount of money to make Notre Dame rethink its traditional independence.
