Notre Dame Football on NBC is an American presentation of college football games involving the Notre DameFighting Irish that are produced by NBC Sports, the sports division of the NBC television network in the United States. NBC Sports has broadcast all Notre Dame home games since September 7, 1991.[1]
Since NBC began airing Notre Dame home football games 33 years ago, the network's deal[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] with the university has ensured that all of its home games are on national broadcast television, a unique configuration amongst American sports. Most of the games are televised in the afternoon, usually starting at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Since 2011, at least two games per season are played in primetime, often played at neutral venues for the purposes of recruiting and financial benefits for playing at those sites, a high-profile matchup involving a major opponent, or to schedule around conflicts with other NBC Sports or NBC News programming. On occasion, selected games may be shifted to an NBCUniversal-owned cable channel, such as USA Network, or moved to NBC's over-the-top streaming service Peacock.
Notre Dame soon had an exclusive television deal with the DuMont Television Network starting in 1950.[11] What attracted Notre Dame to DuMont despite receiving higher bids[12] from ABC and NBC, was DuMont's willingness to air educational programs on behalf of Notre Dame along with the football broadcast. This triggered concern from NCAA members that television would hurt attendance. But Notre Dame argued[13] that the contract with DuMont actually increased interest in their football program and the university.
Through the next three years, Notre Dame's games were mostly edited and syndicated for airing on Saturday nights. The telecasts were typically condensed to a one-hour program anchored by Lindsey Nelson.
Notre Dame would next land a television deal with ABC in 1953. It was ABC who would air the "Game of the Century"[16] between Notre Dame and the Michigan State Spartans on November 19, 1966. The game was not shown live on national TV. The agreement between the NCAA and ABC in effect at the time limited each team to one national television appearance and two regional television appearances each season. Notre Dame had used their national TV slot in the season opening game against Purdue. ABC executives did not even want to show the game anywhere but the regional area, but pressure from the West Coast and the South (to the tune of 50,000 letters) made ABC air the game on tape delay.
In 1976, Notre Dame was one of 67 schools to form the College Football Association (CFA) and pool their television rights.[17] However, by the second half of the 1980s,[18] Notre Dame became one of the most valuable and recognizable teams on national television and was unhappy with deals signed by the CFA[19] that emphasized regional games.[20][17]
In February 1990, Notre Dame broke away from the CFA and signed a five-year broadcasting contract with NBC beginning in the 1991 season, worth $38 million. The deal surprised the college football world and left many of the other CFA members unhappy with Notre Dame.[25][20] Notre Dame got half of the $7.6 million that NBC paid for the rights each year of the deal and its opponent received the other half.[26] The last Notre Dame home game to be televised on a network outside of NBC was on November 17, 1990, when the Irish played their final home game of 1990 against Penn State, in a game that was broadcast by ESPN (with Ron Franklin, Gary Danielson, and Neil Lomax on the call).
The network's 1993 broadcast of the Game of the Century between Florida State Seminoles and Notre Dame (ranked as the #1 and #2 college football teams at the time) is still the most-watched regular season college football game since NBC began carrying the Fighting Irish's games.[27]
2000s
The infamous 2005 "Bush Push" game between Notre Dame and USC in South Bend on NBC was the most watched college football game across all networks in nine years.
Ratings for NBC's Notre Dame game telecasts had slumped to historic lows during the 2011 season, coinciding with average performances of the team on the football field over the past several years; however, the resurgence in the program under Brian Kelly in 2012 has resulted in the network's highest game viewership since 2005.[27]
In 2011, sister channel Versus (later NBCSN, now defunct) began airing rebroadcasts of past Notre Dame games, including those aired on NBC over the years. Previously via NBC's rights deal, sister cable network Universal HD aired same-week reruns of Notre Dame home games until NBCUniversal's January 2011 merger with Comcast. The deal has also been expanded to cover some games of the university's hockey team. This was further punctuated when numerous weather delays forced a Notre Dame football game against USF to go past the scheduled period and NBC never rejoined the game opting instead to air the movie, when Versus picked up the conclusion of the game.[28]
On April 9, 2013, NBC Sports renewed its broadcasting contract with Notre Dame for ten years through the 2025 season.[29] Double the length of prior contract extension deals, the agreement allows NBC Sports the rights to a minimum of seven home games to be broadcast per season, with NBC Sports Network also acquiring rights to select games beginning in 2016. While most games traditionally are held at 3:30 p.m. Eastern on Saturdays, some games will be held during primetime.[30] Revenue from the deal will continue to aid non-athlete student financial assistance.[31]
On November 21, 2015, NBCSN broadcast its first live Notre Dame game, a neutral site night game against Boston College held at Boston's Fenway Park as part of the Shamrock Series.[32]
On September 30, 2017, NBCSN broadcast its second live Notre Dame game, against Miami (OH).
For Notre Dame's November 23, 2019, senior day game against Boston College, the school's broadcasting arm Fighting Irish Media produced an alternate broadcast for NBCSN known as the "Notre Dame Fan Feed", which carried the team radio broadcast with Paul Burmeister and Ryan Harris, segments featuring a studio panel hosted by Ahmed Fareed, Jessica Smetana, Darius Walker, and Daelin Hayes, and on-field reports by Tony Simeone that highlighted Notre Dame traditions and fans.[34]
2020s
Notre Dame's September 19, 2020, game against South Florida was moved to USA Network due to conflicts with the 2020 U.S. Open on NBC. With NBC's usual production unit working the U.S. Open, the broadcast was produced using the university's in-house Notre Dame Studios and Fighting Irish Media unit (in combination with NBC talent, and staff working from NBC Sports' Stamford, Connecticut studios), marking the first time it had worked a regular season Fighting Irish football game on NBC.[35]
Notre Dame's double-overtime win against Clemson on November 7, 2020 was NBC's most-watched Notre Dame game since 2005, averaging just over 10 million viewers. This was despite part of the game being pre-empted to USA Network due to coverage of a primetime address by Joe Biden, winner of the 2020 United States presidential election.[36]
On August 4, 2021, NBC announced that the team's 2021 home opener against Toledo would be exclusive to paid subscribers of NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock, the first Notre Dame home game not to air on terrestrial television since 1990 vs. Air Force.[37][38]
For Notre Dame's September 23, 2023, primetime game against Ohio State, NBC experimented with having its Big Ten Saturday Night broadcast team of Noah Eagle, Todd Blackledge, and Kathryn Tappen call the game, rather than its usual Notre Dame broadcast team of Jac Collinsworth, Jason Garrett, and Zora Stephenson (who were instead assigned to an afternoon Big Ten game).[39][40]
On November 18, 2023, NBC renewed its rights to the Fighting Irish through 2029. NBC will continue to carry most Notre Dame home games, with one game per-season being exclusive to Peacock. Notre Dame Studios will also produce a documentary series following the team for Peacock.[41]
Craig Minervini (2000) – Minervini filled in for Tom Hammond for the September 9, 2000 game against Nebraska, and the following week's game involving Purdue. Hammond was preparing for and subsequently, assigned to work on NBC's coverage of the Summer Olympic telecasts in Sydney, Australia.
