Independence is many magnitudes more than the USC game

ND replaced USC with BYU in short order. USC tried the ole' bait and switch on ND at the last moment, on the cusp of announcing an extension, then changing the date of the games negotiated. USC believed its own propaganda that ND needed the series more and would have no choice but submit. Instead, ND said adios and promptly scheduled BYU instead.

Big12 guy • 12/24/25 09:23 AM ET
Then WHY don't they do it now?
RTFC • 12/24/25 10:58 AM ET
There are contractual obligations, and this shifting

Me too

Very smart move by BYU IMO.
Truthahn • 12/23/25 01:06 PM ET
They just lost the USC series after 90 plus years. Keeping the USC game

If its as you say, there are a lot of upset USC alumni. When I lived in LA,

And BYU does not have the Song Girls.**
jrc3rd • 12/23/25 03:45 PM ET
IMHO ND wants out of the ACC *5 games and they will shift it to the SEC or
Stech • 12/22/25 02:41 PM ET
Long on supposition, empty of facts
TerryD • 12/22/25 04:52 PM ET
If ND is not planning an exit from the ACC, it would be negligent
Tailgate Guru • 12/23/25 08:40 AM ET
Likely a contingency plan
TerryD • 12/23/25 02:27 PM ET
ND future schedules Notre Dame's future schedules include home-and-home
Stech • 12/22/25 05:09 PM ET
Look at WHEN they are scheduled.**
RTFC • 12/23/25 12:45 PM ET
No problem, that is what the ACC is for**
TerryD • 12/23/25 02:28 PM ET
So you do need us as a long term scheduling "partner"...
RTFC • 12/23/25 03:13 PM ET
Yep early games.**
Stech • 12/23/25 01:45 PM ET
That’s a lot of good matchups
mancunian • 12/23/25 10:09 AM ET
ND is just blustering. They ain't gonna play a solid SoS,
saret • 12/22/25 04:42 PM ET
ND is scheduling as tough a schedule as it can. BUT
RandomAsianGuy • 12/22/25 06:25 PM ET
That is an incredibly weak schedule for an alleged playoff contender.
Gobbler Guru • 12/23/25 12:51 PM ET
Agree with both sides' arguments. But, the crux of the argument
saret • 12/22/25 08:42 PM ET
ND future schedules
TerryD • 12/22/25 04:56 PM ET
Through 2036 a TOTAL of 2 of those are after October 1st.
RTFC • 12/23/25 12:33 AM ET
Good point. I stand corrected. At least they've taken time out
saret • 12/22/25 04:59 PM ET
Already lined up to kill the ACC 5-6 games.**
Stech • 12/22/25 05:10 PM ET
You may be right. If so, thanks for visiting.**
saret • 12/22/25 05:19 PM ET
That was funny!!!**
Stech • 12/22/25 05:43 PM ET
What if Notre Dame parted ways with the ACC...
Old Line Hokie • 12/22/25 04:35 PM ET
ND, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Texas, BYU, Indiana
