This opens up the possibility that an entire recruiting class could go their entire college career without ever facing the Irish. Not having one Notre Dame game every three years guaranteed is also disappointing.

My guess is BC and Pitt will grab two of those five-game deals, and perhaps Florida State (?) receives the fourth for TV purposes. Instead, sounds like most ACC programs will only get four Notre Dame games in 12 years, with four receiving at most five games. Doesn't sound like that will be the case. Boston College and Pittsburgh fans were probably hoping that either the Panthers or Eagles would find their way onto the schedule more than other ACC programs given both program's past history with Notre Dame. At the time, it appeared that Syracuse grabbed the 15th game over the first three-year cycle with two games at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands. When the deal was announced, I think the initial understanding of the deal was that the Irish would play 15 ACC teams in a three-year cycle, with one ACC team nabbing that 15th game. It largely won't be a model where any team will play Notre Dame every three years, as there's too many moving parts for that to happen. The schedule is for 60 games over 12 years.

Let's take a closer look at how the factors influencing the scheduling of the remainder of the Irish's contract with the ACC.Įvery team will play Notre Dame four times and four teams will play the Irish a fifth time. Notre Dame returns to Boston two years later for a road game at the Heights in 2017. An announcement could come as soon as next month.īoston College's first game against Notre Dame as part of the scheduling arrangement will take place at Fenway Park on Novem(an Irish home game). Games between the ACC and Notre Dame have already been set for the first three years of the deal (2014-16) and it sounds like the remaining three-quarters of the rotation will be finalized shortly.

Much of this was either known or the subject of much conjecture in the past, though it is interesting to see just how the schedule is going to come about. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Ken Sugiura wrote an interesting article on how Notre Dame and the ACC are working together to finalize the remaining games for the Irish's 12-year, 60-game contract with the conference.
