We've benefited from the ACC being a hot pile of garbage. With the SEC expansion, it seems like its only a matter of time before the other conferences are relegated to second-status citizens.
One topic we've been discussing on another board is the idea of going independent. If (and lots of ifs, so bare with me) a streaming service like Amazon were to come along and offer enough money to go independent and have your games streamed on Amazon Video, would you do it?
I know others have been talking about Notre Dame possibly needing to join a conference, but why? When they've been good enough, they've made the CFP. And in a world where the CFP expands to 6 or more teams, doesn't that lessen the need to be in a conference?
Given how awful the ACC TV deal is, I can't see how the team can stay in this league.

The only argument you will get from me is that it looks more like a meth head than a crackhead.

Clemson will eventually kiss the SEC ring.

why do you think no more indies? Clemson generates the most revenue for the conference. Why should it split the money with Wake, Duke, Virginia, Syracuse and others that will never compete for a title and aren't committed to being an elite football program?

Your ACC TV deal is so ironclad and extends so far into the future I don’t even understand your point of discussing breaking it.

Clemson is on an upswing, but reality is they don’t have enough history, and likely enough future to be an independent. Enjoy the high, you guys will be mediocre again soon enough and FSU and Miami will, once again, push your shite in.

Somehow I knew when I clicked on this ..you were gonna get a lot of shite regardless of what you said. 
…welcome to the rant

I would've lost respect for you guys if you hadn't.

Why would the SEC want Clemson?
We already got the South Carolina market, already have a better football team(s), already have better overall athletic programs.
Not even trying to troll, what does Clemson offer?

We can probably name at least 20 schools that are more of a national brand / all sports brand (including LSU) and they don’t have the support to go independent. OP is looking through some awful orange-colored glasses.

It could only happen if someone like Amazon ponied up top $. Then brokering better matchups instead of Cuse, Wake, BC, GT. At some point you think each team will broker their own TV deal and cut out the middle man (the conference). Why should LSU and Bama split money with Vandy and Kentucky?

Because the SEC has been on the forefront when it comes to all the conference realignment and marketing stuff. They make more money with the SEC contract than they would going out on their own.
