Every single ACC fan wants them gone. Kick them out of all post-season tournaments from here-on.

Per Google —

Notre Dame
(ND) would face a significant, but decreasing, exit fee to leave the ACC, starting around $165 million for 2025-26, dropping to about $75 million by 2030-31, after which it stays at $75 million through 2036, with the added benefit of keeping their media rights due to their unique arrangement, all following the conference's recent legal settlements.
 
More rumors they are trying to get out....

And apparently the AD is having a presser tomorrow. GOOD RIDDANCE.


And agree on the breakup of the conference. Honestly, I would rather Duke's next home be settled, even if it's the Big 12 or the MEAC

Offer them the opportunity to leave now for $100 million.

Well, bye. Don't let the door hit you and all that. I think they honestly believe that the ACC will beg them and grovel for them to stay, and I certainly hope that doesn't happen. And if it facilitates the conference breaking up a few years earlier than it was already going to, then so be it. I loved the ACC but its glory days for me were a long time ago. If it is doomed and just marking time, and it appears to be, might as well go ahead and get the breakup started.

If I could wave the magic wand I would make the conference alignments revert to the way they were like 15 years ago when it felt more balanced.

Now that we’ve crossed the rubicon and you’re either in the P2 or getting left behind in football and basketball, i’m good with nuking the ACC and UNC making the jump. I’d rather at least try to level up and legitimately compete with the big boys than stay put and slip into irrelevancy, if those are the two options.

Screw the rest of the ACC too. They all despise UNC anyway so l’m totally fine seeing those schools fade into oblivion in the sun belt or wherever they end up lol.

I feel the same way about UNC leaving the ACC. I am just ready for their to be one big league for all the big schools with divisions like the NFL. There's no reason it can't be done.
 
Why not get rid of early signing day and move the lone portal window well after playoffs? Signing day Feb 15, portal window late Feb, with new players (frosh and transfers) not arriving til first session of summer.

This way firings and hirings could happen as late as mid-January, so coaches could finish the CFP with their team without hurting the recruiting of their future team, players hang around thru the end of bowl season without needing to bail for the portal.

The impact of frosh and portal contributions to a team diminish because they miss the prior year's spring practice, but it would be a uniform issue for everyone, and reward the teams that can hold onto players thru spring while maybe dampening this yr-to-yr mercenary feel that the game has taken.

It ends the weird academic schedule complications which could happen if a Championship team member wanted to come to UNC but would miss spring class enrollment.

Caveat: I think that's how things will end up once all of the current turmoil is over.

The issue that faces a portal window after early January is that players can't transfer and join their new schools for the Spring semester, which puts them behind learning the schemes and playbook at their new schools.

I believe those are the numbers for full members.

Because ND doesn't get a share for football, I believe their exit fees are significantly lower than the numbers for everyone else.
 
Given the rumors that ND plans to start the process of leaving the ACC, it just did a lap at all the other ACC message boards to get the general temperature of the conference's fans.

Other than the 3 most recent additions - who apparently feel that ND being in the ACC really helps them - the rest of the teams' fan bases seemed to have a pretty similar take on the situation...

"Fuck Notre Dame."
