Big Ten or ACC: Which 5 Game Agreement for Notre Dame Football Would You Rather Have?

Let’s pretend for a second that Notre Dame’s football contract with the ACC, which obligates them to play five ACC schools per season and prohibits them from joining any other conference besides the ACC through the 2036 season, was about to expire after the 2022 season. Now imagine that the Big Ten came to Notre Dame and offered the Irish the same contract for the five games per year deal that the ACC currently has in place. In this hypothetical scenario, the only impacted program would be the football team. Would you rather Notre Dame re-up with the ACC or jump ship and sign a new agreement with the Big Ten?
