The contract allows Notre Dame to remain independent for football while still participating in the ACC for other sports. Specifically, Notre Dame is required to play an average of five ACC football games per season, excluding any games against Stanford. This arrangement is set to continue until 2036, when the ACC's ESPN contract expires.Does the ACC get to decide unilaterally which 4 teams play Notre Dame every year?
Also, Zeke did not play in the E/w Shrine Bowl and Hawes did not play in The Senior Bowl. Anyone know why? Did both get injured during the practice week or did they just not get any run during the game?I watched the game and thought he looked great in the running game as well. Hopefully he gets a shot.
