NY Times reports ND would choose ACC

[techman]

If ND needs to join a conference, the NY Times reports ND would choose the ACC. See page 2 of the link http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/08/sp...r=4&ref=sports

The article states that the ACC would be ND's "only realistic destination". Not sure that I understand why the ACC would be so uniquely favored, but just MHO.

Article states...
"The next critical Jenga piece is Notre Dame, which would definitely leave if the basketball universities left — and could possibly leave even if they don’t. The A.C.C. is the most likely destination. The Irish’s television contract with NBC, currently under negotiation, will go a long way in determining their future — as will how they fare as a stakeholder in the new college football playoff. That appears to be safe and stable for now.

If Notre Dame leaves for the A.C.C., its only realistic destination, the A.C.C. will take Connecticut or Rutgers to make it a 16-team league. And that would send all the Big East blocks tumbling."
