If they somehow play a full ACC schedule due to ooc games getting axed that's fair.

If they play New Mexico state, liberty, navy and Mac schools with some acc opponents, that's horse shit.

It pisses me off how Notre Dame can glide through normal seasons without being in a conference then the one time they should be getting bitten in the ass for not being in a conference, the ACC bows to Notre Dame for the sake of money

The funniest possible outcome of a covid-fucked season is Notre Dame realizing after all this time that being independent was an albatross around the program's neck and that the extra money from not sharing their TV deal isn't worth being at a competitive disadvantage.

Honestly playing 10 games against the ACC would not be much of an upgrade to their strength of schedule, if any. You have Clemson, then a few teams that should be good but can't seem to sustain any success (FSU, Miami, Louisville and maybe Virginia) and then several programs that just can't put anything together. When they get curb stomped by Clemson in the regular season game and or championship game then their hopes of playing in the playoff go out the window.

I am all for whatever makes ND look bad, this could be it.

This is nothing more than the ACC making a grab at money by getting the ND hype machine in place of some other ACC stiff against Clemson.  Far more in ratings and revenue hawking ND-Clemson, than in hawking another VT-Clemson 'mercy rule' type affair...

This is actually great news. Now when they start crowing about their independence we can say they play in the ACC. This will drive them insane.

Wow, ACC.  You never had the balls to tell Notre Dame how ridiculous it is to be a “part time” member of your conference and now you allow this?  Dignity is not your strong trait. 

Go fuck yourself, Notre Dame.

To me, it sounds like they are trying to make themselves look good by saying that they are playing in the championship game (IF THEY WIN THEIR LEAGUE GAMES).

However, more than likely the season will be cancelled, and they will say that, oh, we were trying to represent our league, blah, blah, blah, but they cancelled the season on us.

Again, as many have said:
