This is a good move for everyone, except ACC and Notre Dame football. Notre Dame joins the best lacrosse and now basketball conference in the country. All the ACC schools are well known for their academics. Notre Dame is getting more students from the east coast and playing in the ACC will give them more exposure year round. The only party this move doesn't benefit is Notre Dame football. They will still go 8-4, 7-5 every year, keeping them out of a BCS bowl.
