I don’t think the doomsday scenario makes any sense.

Gameday is following ND to Ireland next year. The program prints money and draws good ratings, for a variety of conferences. College football is doing well and does better when its one independent team is successful and traveling the country. Who wants to give up their ND game so ND can play Rutgers/Minnesota/Illinois or Duke/Wake/Syracuse?

Screwing with ND’s value is not in the sport’s best interest. I don’t think it’ll happen.

The problem with that analysis

Is that no one gives a shit about the sport of college football. Everyone places school or conference interests above all else. Just look at the realignment that happened. They think if they can knock ND down and help themselves, they will. Without thinking twice.
Remember when Delany was trying to get GT and Carolina

To the B1G? (I don't know if this was ever confirmed, but it was out there.) It was all about trying to force ND out of the ACC and leaving them with no other choice.
