"“The football partnership between the ACC and Notre Dame is a terrific enhancement for all parties,” said ACC commissioner John Swofford, per CFT. “Notre Dame not only adds to our league’s already highly ambitious schedules, it also provides the opportunity for almost all of our student-athletes to play against Notre Dame during their careers. When you add in the excitement that it brings to our fans, there’s no question that this partnership is significant.”"
Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick was equally thrilled about the opportunity for the Irish to play teams they haven’t played before.
"“Over those nine years, four ACC programs that have never played in Notre Dame Stadium (Louisville, NC State, Virginia and Virginia Tech) will come to South Bend, and two others that have only played at Notre Dame one time (Wake Forest and Clemson) also will travel to our campus. On the other side of the coin, during that period we will take our team to four ACC campuses at which Notre Dame never has played football (Louisville, NC State, Virginia and Virginia Tech), plus three others (Clemson, Duke and Wake Forest) where our team has played only once.”"
You can find the full schedule at the bottom of the CFT piece. For fans of some of the biggest names in college sports, this will be a chance to witness the hype surrounding a football game against Notre Dame. For Notre Dame, this will mean more money for their program and for everyone they visit, which is never a bad thing for a college football program.
