I’m an Irish fb fan, but i don’t root for their other sports. They are in the exact place they want to be for fb (bowl games) and the acc is a great place for their other sports. Better than the BE in most sports except for soccer, i’d think, and that’s a push at best for us

I agree, I just mean strictly for basketball. Maybe that distance takes a toll. Who knows.

It sure does. Look at what Notre Dame did with their hockey program. They joined the arguably top hockey league in Hockey East, where they were a geographical outlier, only to bolt 4 years later to a lesser, but more geographically friendly Big Ten. I wouldn't be surprised if the non-FB sports head to the Big Ten or Big East within the next 10 years, especially if their MBB program continues its slide.

Even after Delaney, I think the B1G will always be a friend of the Big East throughout college sports realignment, our footprints are identical, so almost all Big East fans root for one of their football teams, plus mostly Notre Dame, so the Big East does make a lot more sense than Tobacco Road, the South, and all the dark history. Pretty strange ND, Cuse, BC, all plays is a conference that was so bigoted against the North, Catholics, abolitionists, etc.
