Brian, you mentioned the ACC, and that's up next year on the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to by our friends over at Fanduil.

And this has been another hot topic of discussion, really ever since the end of last regular season when they, you know, mounted this month-long smear campaign for Notre Dame, airing the Notre Dame Miami game on repeat for multiple weekends on the ACC network.

And now it's coming back around back in December.

Pete Mavakwa had a press conference talking about how it did irreparable damage or permanent damage to the relationship.

And then they had a meeting.

And then out of that meeting, it talked about, you know, sounded like some fences were mended.

And it kind of led us to hear. And it led us to this point. And there's been some interesting

things coming out the last couple of days between Pete Babacqua and some of the comments that

Jim Phillips has made. So it's up next year, man. This is a very interesting one to tackle.

The first one that I want to talk about, Trevor, is, and this will be somewhat brief,

is some of the panic that's happening by Pete Bovacqua's comments about they're in a,

you know, they're in a good place with the ACC.

And my answer is, I feel just as uneasy about that as the people in the show that are hearing that and feeling uneasy about it.

Because we're not seeing anything change.

I mean, Pete Bovaca went from, what was it, permanent damage to five months later, we're in a great place, we're happy,

they're happy.

But we haven't seen any changes.

My response to that is, I still think we need to remain in a bit of a holding pattern here

because we don't know what changes

may come. I'm a, I grow cautiously more and more nervous about that Notre Dame's response to

all the playoff stuff is literally just going to be, we complained about it for a month and then

took our medicine and nothing's going to change. I do worry about that. I'm not going to lie to you. I do worry about that. But I also put myself in the shoes of Pete Pavqua and those around him and say, if things were going to change, I'm not going to run off to the next TV person and say, oh, no, we're still mad.
