Dennis Dodd had some good things to say about Dennis Dodd following Indiana’s 91-83 win over Notre Dame on…
Notre Dame football can be making its way to the Big Ten sooner than later due to the conference’s connection with NBC, the Fighting Irish’s official broadcast partner.
Sportskeeda’s Vincent Pensabene relayed that Notre Dame joining a conference could be in the works soon.
“(Notre Dame) feels like they could have gotten more (than $22 million annually), and the process of Notre Dame joining the conference could be in the works,” Pensabene prefaced before saying, “They are locked into a deal with NBC until 2029, but if they join a conference with NBC as a media rights holder, this could happen soon.”
Geographically and with the NBC deal in mind, the Big Ten is the logical next step for the Fighting Irish, but there’s been a strange rumor about Notre Dame going south.
The Fighting Irish were floated for the SEC by CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd, which would make for some great football but would make no sense geographically and potentially end Notre Dame’s current rivalry with USC.
