Over the past eight months, discussions about whether the ACC should drop Notre Dame have circulated, primarily in private settings. Notre Dame, as an independent in football, has faced criticism from the ACC. The Irish receive approximately $17-18 million annually from the conference, while football contributes $35-45 million, and basketball yields only $3.4 million.
Notre Dame's basketball revenue has declined, and they have only appeared in two NCAA tournaments since 2016-17. Key players like Markus Burton, Jalen Haralson, and Cole Certa have left the team. Notre Dame's budget-conscious head coach, Micah Shrewsberry, has struggled to maintain a winning record, in part due to injuries and player departures.
Shrewsberry's roster consists of five returning players, including Braeden Shrewsberry, a top three-point shooter and ball handler, and Brady Koehler, a solid contributor at both ends. The team also has promising prospects like Logan Imes and Tommy Ahneman. However, Notre Dame's lack of investment in basketball has led to a tough situation for Shrewsberry, who must make the most of the limited resources available to him.
