[Husker] Notre Dame jumps to ACC (mostly)

[David Strong]

I am floored...would never have thought that would happen, but then I
realize that I also never thought BC, Miami, Pitt, Syracuse, etc would be
in the ACC.  Why does it have to be this way?  I know all about the money,
but when is so much money enough money?  It's very discouraging, the
break-up of geographic conferences and long-time rivalries.  I was talking
with a West Virginia booster not long ago and he says that a very large
part of the WVU fan base is so unhappy about having to travel so far for
games now and not playing their neighboring schools.  Nebraska in the Big
Ten makes sense on a lot of levels, but so many of these other shifts are
just surreal.  Boise State in the Big East or something like that?  I think
it is just really bad for the sport.  I grew up the son of a UNC grad so I
am old school ACC and don't like it.  When are enough teams enough?
