I believe that Notre Dame will come into the ACC for everything if it means keeping the conference status quo. That would keep FSU, Clemson, UNC..I could see NBC ponying up the money as part of the Notre Dame arrangement and raising the ACC rights fees.
It depends on the quality of the kid. I'm not convinced he'd be back even if Eddie stayed. This is an extremely immature kid who has had issues before he got to Rutgers and at Rutgers.
Just one man's opinion, but I think this would be a bad hire. Having Michigan and West Virginia as a brand is much different than having Rutgers as a brand. Rutgers hoops needs someone with real charisma. I'm not saying it should be an asst., but an Ash type of personality.
