[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The University of Notre Dame's TV contract with NBC expires after the 2024 college football season. Notre Dame receives about $22 million per year from NBC. Notre Dame is seeking at least triple the amount under any new contract with NBC (seeking in the area of $65 million to $75 million). No progress has been reported on the negotiation of a new contract between the two parties.

Big Ten Conference will pay about $90 million to each of its members in just a few years, but will be paying in the $70 million to $75 million per team over the next two years under the terms of its new deal with Fox, NBC, and CBS.

My understanding is that independent football teams, such as Notre Dame, are ineligible to receive a bye in the first round of the newly designed College Football Playoffs.

Projected payouts for SEC football teams are about $60 million per member.[/quote]

There is a whole thread

This thread should focus on Notre Dame and what it will take to get Notre Dame football to join a conference.

The other thread is about Big Ten Conference expansion and it involves many schools and different considerations.

I started thread because of a strong interest in Notre Dame football and the dearth of current articles about Notre Dame football's upcoming TV/media rights contract negotiations.[/quote]

If ND doesn’t join a major conference, they will be cut off in the near future from playing a decent schedule against the perennial top teams.   Why schedule ND when you already have plenty of tough competition in your own conference?  [/quote]

Notre Dames annual schedule is not against "top teams" - they generally rotate the same 10-15 schools with a focus on Navy, Stanford and Boston College as constants. [/quote]

Agree. ND schedule is not tough…[/quote]

In 2023 they’re playing USC, OSU and Clemson, along with a number of solid ACC teams and Stanford.  Not a ND fan, but that not an easy schedule.  NDs schedule is usually around top 20 in terms of toughness; difficult enough to get some respect, easy enough to get into the playoffs if they’re a good team.  I don’t see it changing much in the B10; there are a lot of bottom feeder teams in the league to go along with the OSUs and Michigans.[/quote]
