http://espn.go.com/ncaa/news/2003/0925/1623070.html I don't understand this - why invite ND if you're not getting football as the 12th member? (edit: the original article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is much clearer in saying that it's all sports or nothing, and that "Those who are familiar with the process say the odds are very much against the ACC landing Notre Dame as a member.") The other interesting news out of this is that if the ND negotiations fail, BC's invite could be back on the table.
