Notre Dame is heading to the ACC with all of its sports except football and hockey. Please allow the "FUCK" & "YES" to sink in properly before you read on.
Due to an awesomely timed computer crash that I suspect came from fans in Louisville and caused me to lose everything I just spent an hour on writing, I'm not going to write much of it again. Most of you already know my feelings on this, and there isn't one thing that I heard yesterday that has any real cause for concern. If you were under a rock yesterday and need more, I offer you this:

Yup. I'm pretty happy about this move that solidifies ALL of Notre Dame's athletic teams, keeps Football independent, gives a better bowl structure for football, and maintains the integrity of the football schedule moving forward in a world that is seeing conferences moving towards a 9 game conference schedule.
Special thanks to Carl Lisle's Twitter avi at the top.
