ACC announces fall sports plans

given that, I wonder if they will invite staff/students/faculty so long as they stay socially distant and wear masks.

I see no reason why not- given the lack of activities on campus- students may actually show up.

I overlooked the ND revenue piece. That's fascinating *and* a big win for the conference--even if the games are not played.

Probably a win/win. ACC only sharing in the one ND out of conference game. ND should actually make more from 5 extra ACC contests than under the NBC contract. ACC gains 5 extra televised games.

Unless I am interpreting the announcement incorrectly.

I think it is more of a win/neutral at least in the short term. Notre Dame should end up a few mil richer. The ACC schools likely will lose out on around $500,000 each (although those are based on prior years' numbers, no idea how everything going on will impact those payments this year if there ends up being a season). It is probably a win/win in the long run if it is a precursor to Notre Dame joining as a full-time member, at least financially.
