[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131732084, member: 1428007"] Here's a blurb from the Athletic Article: excerpt: The ACC would, obviously, like to add Notre Dame as a full-fledged member. New commissioner Jim Phillips made that clear last week at ACC media days, stating that Notre Dame “(knows) the ACC’s interest. It’s been less than bashful since I’ve been here.” [B]One ACC source told The Athletic on Friday that the expansion conversation “starts and stops” with Notre Dame. “Notre Dame and anyone is a home run,” the source said, adding that WVU would make sense as the 16th ACC member to reunite with the league’s former Big East members. [/B]Also of note: Clemson president Jim Clements was president of WVU during the 2011 realignment scramble, and current Mountaineers athletic director Shane Lyons previously spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the ACC. College Football Hall of Fame coach Don Nehlen, whose relationship with ex-Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas strengthened West Virginia’s realignment cause in 2011, still resides in Morgantown. At age 85, he still keeps up with college athletics and contends the Mountaineers would bolster the ACC in football and basketball. “The ACC would be a really good fit for us,” Nehlen told The Athletic on Saturday. “This time, we’ve got a gentleman named Gordon Gee who we didn’t have before, and with Clements at Clemson, that would really be two pluses for us.” Notre Dame has given no indication that it wants to join the ACC as a full member in football, even after the temporary marriage last season worked out quite well for both parties, with the Irish going undefeated in the regular season, reaching the ACC championship game and making the College Football Playoff. Independence is in the Irish’s DNA, athletic director Jack Swarbrick has said, and he cherished that football autonomy enough to sacrifice a first-round bye in an expanded Playoff to maintain it. Can WVU get the ACC interested on its own? Only time — and discreet conversations — will tell. [/QUOTE]
