Notre Dame Set For Huge Payday From CFB Playoff That Trumps Entire Conferences —OutKick.com

What were the ADs who negotiated and approved this playoff payout deal thinking about? In addition they approved 12 playoff teams, virtually assuring that Notre Dame will make the playoffs almost every year.

Furthermore, if Notre Dame finishes in the top 8, they’ll play a first round playoff game at home. Estimates last week indicate that income from that recent game produced $40 million in income for the South Bend community.

Who negotiated that deal? A committee chaired by Jack Swarbrick, the Notre Dame athletic director! What did Notre Dame “give up”? The opportunity to get a first round bye.
