Well, this is big.

Notre Dame is joining the ACC in all sports, with the exception of football and hockey. However, the Irish will play 5 football games against ACC teams.

Details still are coming out, but here’s a quick look at the winners and losers from a TV perspective.

Winner: ESPN. With the ACC rights deal running through 2027, the addition of Notre Dame should make for plenty of attractive match-ups on the basketball side. Duke-Notre Dame. North Carolina-Notre Dame. Those games will generate interest.

On the football side, you have to figure at least 2 of those Notre Dame games will be on ACC turf. That gives ESPN/ABC the rights to those games. The networks love Notre Dame.

Winner: Florida State-Notre Dame, Miami-Notre Dame games: You can be sure they will be two of the five ACC games on an annual basis, or close to it. Again, good for ESPN/ABC and NBC.

Winner: NBC. Notre Dame’s football deal with NBC runs through 2015. In June, Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick told the Chicago Tribune’s Brian Hamilton that he was trying to decide whether to negotiate a new deal.

“We’ve had a series of meetings, we’ve exchanged information, and I think we will have a decision to make probably within the next 30 days about all of that,” Swarbrick said in a phone interview Wednesday. “That’s probably the range we’re in … Don’t hold me to 30 (days), but it’s in that window.”

If anything, the ACC deal makes the Notre Dame home TV schedule more attractive with games against FSU and Miami. Look for NBC and the NBC Sports Network, which need a strong college football presence, to seek an extension on a new deal.

Loser: Big Ten. The idea of Notre Dame ever joining the conference was a pipe dream, anyway. However, with the Irish playing five ACC games, will any of its traditional Big Ten match-ups (Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State) come off the schedule? Michigan State actually is off after 2013.

Loser: USC. Is this long-running series in peril? The addition of 5 ACC games means somebody has to go. Remains to be seen.

Loser: Big East. Goes without saying.
