Notre Dame to the ACC

Notre Dame is leaving the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference in all sports but football.
Notre Dame will play five football games annually against ACC schools. The move allows the Irish to maintain football independence, while the ACC is making an exception to its all-or-nothing requirement for schools to be full members.
Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick says joining the ACC will allow the Irish to join in the ACC's non-BCS bowl package and will provide an extremely competitive home for Notre Dame’s other sports.
