The UNLV Rebels decided that the best way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day was to announce a game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 2022.
The game will be played on October 22, and the Rebels will take home a $1.35 million dollar paycheck for their troubles. Not only will this be the first ever meeting between the two schools, it will be the first time UNLV will have ever played in the state of Indiana.
The 2022 schedule for the Irish is close to completion. This addition of UNLV puts Notre Dame at 11 football games on the schedule for the season.
