A temporary dip in the quality of men's basketball doesn't make the decision bad.

The access to the ACC's bowls is crucial, although I'd like the next round to allow ND to take the ACC's Orange Bowl slot if they're ranked higher than the ACC champ.

I would also like fewer games each year vs the ACC in football, but if FSU and Miami get themselves right, there are opportunities for good games there. We need tier 2 and 3 teams on the schedule, the ACC can give us those.

Plus the ACC is outstanding for a lot of other sports, including baseball and soccer.
