Notre Dame prepares for ACC basketball season with budget constraints

Summary

Notre Dame's basketball program, under coach Micah Shrewsberry, faces challenges ahead of the season as they navigate constraints within the ACC. The program has been criticized by ACC peers for not fully committing financially, especially after declining a bowl invitation, which has fueled discussions about their future in the conference. With the loss of several key players, including Markus Burton and Jalen Haralson, Notre Dame will rely on a mix of returning athletes and new transfers to fill the gaps. The team is expected to compete but is under pressure to improve on past performance, having only made two NCAA tournament appearances since 2017.
