1) ND basically operates as a 1 team conference, this gives them an opportunity at an “auto bid” which every other team except them and UConn have a shot at. 2) This rule would only come into play in very specific situations. ND would probably have to finish exactly #12 for this to ever have any effect (nobody would complain about a snub if they were 18 lol.) 3) It’s still 100% up to the committee, for example if they wanted Miami in this year they would’ve simply flipped ND and BYU.

2 was the point of my post, I was saying that this contingency isn’t entirely guaranteed because anything can happen. I’m just confused why this doesn’t extend to UCONN

4) Every single conference commissioner voted yes on this proposal. Agreement also gives auto bids to every power conference, they wanted to gain overall stability for the playoffs and thought giving ND some protection would be best. 5) It was a small part of bigger espn tv deal, and keeping ND happy was crucial for their new revenue sharing plan.

It doesn’t extend to UConn because other conference commissioners don’t see UConn as a 1 team conference. UConn will most likely be joining a conference in the near future so it wasn’t relevant.

I wasn’t aware the commissioners all agreed, I did see that every power conference got the autobid. You think they’ll consider the new PAC 12 power? Or is it just The Usual Suspects

No just top 4. Really only relevant to the ACC/Big12 since I don’t see any world where SEC/BIG10 champ would be left out. Really thinking this whole deal was pushed hard by Jim Philips, getting an ACC auto bid + incentivizing ND to stay independent to prevent revenue sharing.

Jim Phillips is a moronic cuck but at least he’s keeping ACC money in the ACC
