Notre Dame went to the Atlantic Coast conference because they do not have to share their TV rights with the conference.

#1 - the shoe deal is just and indication of the "value" of ND.
Ahh ... now I understand where you are coming from.

You are saying that ND has such value that they can command their own terms. Right?

1) I am not denying that Notre Dame is a valuable school, and if I had to guess they bring in more revenue than any other single school.

2) In the past, they were astronomically more valuable than any other single school. Today, they are slightly more valuable, and their stock is falling fast. Sure, they got a valuable apparel deal, but it was only slightly better than the deal Michigan signed a couple of years earlier (90 mil vs. 82 mil), and I guarantee you that when Tennessee signs its deal in 2015 that it will be larger than Notre Dame's deal simply because of competition and the rise of such things.

3) Because (a) their value is falling and (b) they are half-way into the ACC and (c) what BJVOL is reporting and (d) this super-tier that Tux is reporting, it is clear that Notre Dame will be fully in the ACC within a decade.

*If* ND's stock is falling at the pace you imply - then explain *why*

a) NBC offered the deal.

IMO its hunky dory to guarantee things - as long as its other peoples money. I, for one, hope you are correct as the University needs to turn things around revenue wise - it goes without saying Tennessee could use 8 million.

When the deal was announced two years ago;
What has changed - the BCS is now dead - and their is a 4 team play-off - and within 10 years - an 8 team play-off. Its fairly easy to grasp the ease of going from 4 to 8 - compared to a 16 team play-off.

IMO nothing has dramatically changed from ND stance with the deal with the ACC was announced.

"With this agreement, Notre Dame will also become eligible for the ACC's non-BCS bowl tie-ins. According to commissioner John Swofford, Notre Dame will have a provision that requires the Irish to be ranked higher than, equal to, or within one win of a full ACC member to be selected above them in the league's non-BCS bowl selection order. Swofford also confirmed that Notre Dame is one of several potential opponents for the ACC in the Orange Bowl. The Orange Bowl revenue, along with all football-related revenue, will be shared equally among the 14 all-sports members. The Irish will be equal sharing members for all television revenue for Olympic sports, which Swofford estimated as "20 percent" of the ESPN deal."

"Speaking strictly from a football standpoint, we have further solidified our future as an independent in college football, maintained our unique ability to schedule nationally and greatly improved our postseason bowl game options," said Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. "I applaud Father Jenkins and Jack Swarbrick for this move. They have set our entire athletics department up for great success in the future."
