Notre Dame considers adding Big 12 teams to future schedules
Summary

Notre Dame's football scheduling has come under scrutiny for being predictable, particularly with their dominance in the ACC. Analysts suggest incorporating at least one Big 12 home-and-home series each season could revitalize the schedule. This proposal doesn't stem from a need for improved playoff standings but rather to increase fan interest. The conversations around potential matchups include destinations like Morgantown, Lubbock, and Boulder. The Irish’s independence in scheduling allows for such adaptations.
