Notre Dame, Big East agree on Irish exit 2 years early to join ACC - ESPN
Notre Dame and the Big East have reached an agreement allowing the Fighting Irish to leave the league two years early and join the ACC on July 1.
This means a number of things. First and foremost, Maryland gets one season of the Irish in basketball (along with Pitt and Syracuse) before leaving for the B1G. Second, could this impact the Maryland-ACC lawsuit? Since the ACC lawsuit alleges that Maryland leaving is "damaging" the ACC, I would presume that the Irish joining early negates any loss of Maryland leaving for the B1G, but I'm not a lawyer. Either way, should be interesting.
