Notre Dame, Inc.


NBC announced they are extending their broadcast contract with Notre Dame through 2015. What caught my eye was Darren Rovell's piece on the Fighting Irish's new scheduling strategy. Rovell points out that while Notre Dame is maintaining their traditional matchups, they have begun scheduling some less than competitive opponents including your Syracuse Orangemen.

The obligatory T3I Too Lazy to Click on the Link Quote:

"Traditional games like Michigan, Michigan State, Boston College, Pittsburgh, Purdue and Navy are there. But the rest of the schedule is filled with playing teams--San Diego State, North Carolina, Washington and Syracuse--that were a combined 10-27 last year. Next year will see Nevada and Washington State added and in 2010, a series with Army will start up."
