Marshall University Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick announced Monday that the Marshall football team will travel to the University of Notre Dame for the first time in school history.
Hamrick said that he is looking forward to a great atmosphere when the two teams meet. Marshall University’s athletic department will benefit financially when it meets in South Bend, Indiana.
“Notre Dame is one of the most prestigious programs in all of college football and a trip to South Bend, Indiana, should be on every fan’s bucket list,” Hamrick said.
Hamrick also said in the news release that the Marshall fan base has played a huge role in this new venture with the Fighting Irish.
