Sources tell me the ACC Network (long anticipated)may happen sooner than some expect. Keeping an eye on Notre Dame. BIG10 remains an option

@TimBrando @EricHoudini12 In addition, the Notre Dame hockey program will be joining the Big Ten in 2017. All signs seem 2 point 2 #B16 soon

.@2ndComingOfGray @EricHoudini12 The SEC may have more Titles, but no one can argue the number of households the BIG 10 brings. Not close.

Per Collegespun: It has been a few years since any major conference team jumped football leagues, but according to FOX Sports’ Tim Brando, we could have more realignment coming soon. That should come as no surprise, but the team he believes may be a lynchpin is: Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have held on to their Independent status thus far, moving their other sports to the ACC after the Big East split. However, as the ACC pushes for its own network with ESPN, a la the SEC Network, Brando thinks the Big Ten’s money might draw Notre Dame’s eye.
