ACC continues talks with Irish

RALEIGH, N.C. - The ACC is having discussions with Notre Dame about becoming the league's 12th member, with concessions to allay the school's concern about giving up its lucrative independent status in football in the near future.

Sources inside and outside the league told the Charlotte Observer that ACC Commissioner John Swofford has expressed a willingness to have the Fighting Irish join the ACC as a partial member within the next year or two.

Two options under discussion have Notre Dame becoming a full member in all sports but football. For that to happen, the Fighting Irish would schedule a certain number of football games against ACC teams. They also would commit to becoming a full football member within a certain time frame, most likely within the next decade.

The ACC also has had discussions with NBC about Notre Dame's potential addition, sources said.
