The only way this works is if you want to do the Frank Reich thing for a year because you don't have a permanent president and your athletic director is likley toast.

They didn't even know how to promote their own brand! So instead they are watering it down to something meaningless. Why would you even consider Albright when you have a (likely less expensive) community college down the street that likely does this better - and has a library!?! (2/2)

Lifelong higher education administator here. This isn't going to work. Most of them likely know this won't work either. The seeds for Albright's failure were sown long ago. They don't have enough money and they failed at showing how a liberal arts education gives you the skills needed. (1/2)

It's not 1982 any longer. Attendance is important sure, but nowhere near as important as it used to be. The point is that the ACC provides ND access to scheduling higher level opponents. Is ND going to be able to replicate this if the ACC to end this?

Yes. If he is on leave, it's a personnel issue. So they already said that.

"Institutional trust?" It's clearly a personnel issue, which almost everyone realizes is something that comes with a degree of quietness. And the leadership isn't going to ignore legal advice - that's what gets them fired. In the end, they will resolve the issue and all will be forgotten.

But even that may not be possible if an attorney, especially one who works for a public university, tells you not to say anything. Furthermore, if you say something too generic, it's just going to annoy people due to lack of detail. (I used to oversee marketing and comms at a public university.)

I love that a student editor is applying what she has learned in class to this editorial, but there could be very good, and very legal, reasons why they aren't saying anything.

And right now, ND needs the ACC more than vice versa. Filling out a schedule with quality opponents would be hard as a full independent.

"Right now" doesn't matter. It's the whole season that matters.

It's the four highest ranked champions plus the highest Group of 5. They are trying to avoid lawsuits with this move.

Well, they were good enough. The problem is the ACC's tiebreakers.
But to your point, yes it is absurd, but that's the only way you are going to be able to get rid of conference championship games. Otherwise it's just an exhibition. It should count for something...either way.

Sure you can. If a conference wants to have a championship game to determine its champion, help its seeding, etc. then there has to be downside risk too.

My guess is that these guys love the image of someone like Theodore Roosevelt, but are doing the exact opposite of talking softly and carrying a big stick. They talk loud and pick on the weak.

Or at least after head to head. If the ACC doesn't make the CFP, it is definitely a self-inflicted wound.
