Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
This week, the ACC is expected to finalize its plans — or, at least, its next step — for fall sports, including football. According to Stadium.com‘s Brett McMurphy, the top scheduling model the conference is considering is 10 league games plus one non-conference game. That would open the door for rivalries such as Clemson-South Carolina and Georgia Tech-Georgia to be played.
McMurphy also notes, though, that “n this format if Notre Dame plays 10 ACC teams, results would count in ACC standings.” And, according to David Teel of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Notre Dame would be eligible for a spot in the ACC championship game. According to the former report, it’s unclear if the Fighting Irish could earn the ACC’s Orange Bowl bid as that conference’s champion if they knock off Clemson win the league title.
All of this is pending the approval of the conference’s presidents and chancellors, of course.
Notre Dame has never played in a conference championship game since it began playing the sport way back in 1887. Why? Because the Fighting Irish have been a football independent for every one of those 133 seasons.
Because of the decisions by the Big Ten and Pac-12 to go to a schedule that consists only of conference games, Notre Dame has already seen three of its 12 regular-season games canceled (Wisconsin, Stanford, USC). Six of their 2020 games, though, are already with teams from the ACC: Wake Forest, Pitt, Duke, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Louisville. They also have a game against an SEC foe in Arkansas.

Wrong glass, Sir.
No big surprise. Everyone knew that the ACC would grab their ankles for ND. ND is the classic parasite. It takes, and the only thing it leaves behind is disease and weakness before moving on to its next host.

Except when they play Ohio State in any game since WW2.
They take a beating. Do they not?

I bet nobody here knows that Brady Quinn's sister was AJ Hawk's fiancee when this game was played.

ACC football schedule 2020: Notre Dame joins league for 11-game season with one nonconference contest
The ACC will play 10 conference games and one nonconference game as part of a truncated schedule
The ACC has made its decision about college football this fall, as well as its other fall Olympic sports. The conference announced Wednesday that its football season will begin play during the week of Sept. 7, originally scheduled as Week 2 of the 2020 season. ACC teams -- plus partial league member Notre Dame -- will play 11 games, including 10 ACC contests and one nonconference game against an opponent that resides in the home state of league members.
"Today's decision was made after months of thoughtful planning by numerous individuals throughout the conference," said ACC commissioner John Swofford in a release. "The Board's decision presents a path, if public health guidance allows, to move forward with competition. Our institutions are committed to taking the necessary measures to facilitate the return in a safe and responsible manner. We recognize that we may need to be nimble and make adjustments in the future. We will be as prepared as possible should that need arise."
Notre Dame will partake in the festivities and play a full 10-game ACC conference schedule, making it eligible to compete in the ACC Championship Game as a temporary 15th member of the conference in 2020. The ACC championship will be contested between the two teams at the top of the standings as the ACC will not play with divisions in 2020. The ACC Championship Game will be played on either Dec. 12 or Dec. 19 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
All of Notre Dame's nonconference games will still be televised on NBC, and accrued the television revenue -- from both Notre Dame and the other 14 ACC schools -- will be tallied and distributed equally among the 15 schools.

That Zab Zibokowzki was a golden gloves boxer on Super Knock Out!?
Also, shocked Notre Dame didn't throw a fit about how it wasn't fair they had to finally join a conference for a season.

Wrong glass, Sir.
And the juggalos have now worked themselves into a frenzy thinking that when ND becomes a permanent member, they'll be the 16th team added.
I mean even the most casual observer of college football understands that, as soon as Notre Dame no longer needs to be part of the ACC to fill out a schedule, they are going to leave them like a soiled, half-deflated plastic fuck doll and run back to their precious independence. If Notre Dame thinks for even one second about repaying the ACC's loyalty with full membership, you can knock me over with a scissor lift.
