Back in January, prior to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua told a group of reporters he wanted to play Clemson more.
On Tuesday, Bevacqua’s wish came true, as Clemson and Notre Dame agreed to a 12-year home-and-home series beginning in 2027.
What does it all mean?
“We strive to consistently create a football schedule that positions us for success in the College Football Playoff, and that goal requires us to form historic partnerships like this one with Clemson,” Bevacqua said in a prepared release.
This move helps Notre Dame get a consistent marquee opponent on the schedule.
