Notre Dame TV Deal:
Notre Dame and Comcast NBCUniversal announced a new TV deal running through 2029. Notre Dame is expected to receive around $50 million per year from NBC, in addition to the $17 million it receives from the ACC. Notre Dame's total compensation is slightly less than what members of the Big Ten would receive.

2024-25
50M from NBC
17M from ACC ( ACCN plus pro rata from ESPN TV deal)
67M

2026 & Beyond
50M from NBC
17M from ACC ( ACCN plus pro rata from ESPN TV deal)
13M from CFP ( starting in 2026)
80M

The ACC has yet to report its 2022-2023 revenue distribution, but several ADs said they expected about $43 million per team. We also know that the "success incentive initiative" will begin in 2024-25 and the financial bump received from potential “success incentive initiative" could add more than $10 million in revenue annually to some teams. The question becomes what will the media payout in 2024-25, will it be 43M, 45M, 48M???

2024-25 Winning Success incentive initiative
45M from ESPN & ACC Network
10M from Success incentive initiative
55M

Not winning success incentive initiative
45M from ESPN & ACC Network

After 2026 w/new CFP payouts and winning Success incentive initiative
45M from ESPN & ACC Network (surely there is a 4% increase)
10M from Success incentive initiative
13M from CFP
68M (probably more as there will be an increase in ACC Media monies)

After 2026 w/new CFP payouts and not winning success incentive initiative
45M from ESPN & ACC Network (surely there is a increase)
13M from CFP
58M (probably more as there will be an increase in ACC Media monies)

Why is this important, you ask? It means Notre Dame has no reason to leave it's ACC deal and jump to the Big Ten.

ND will also earn a $6 million dollar bonus every year it makes the playoffs as an independent.

In those years, ND will earn $18.5 million in playoff money, not too far behind the Big Ten and SEC.

So, your number is $86 million a year from TV/conference/playoff money in years that ND finishes in the top 14 of the playoff committee rankings.

ND's revenues in 2021 were $215 million. That was BEFORE it signed the new NBC deal and the playoff money deal.

It also just signed the biggest apparel deal in history with Under Armour and signed a deal with Guinness beer to sponsor ND football.

Bottom line:

TV money---check

Playoff access--check

Playoff money--check

Those things are solid for independence going forward.

P.S. The playoff deal was negotiated by ND's new AD, not Jack Swarbrick.

P.P.S. The amount of the NBC will never be published since both ND and NBC are private entities.

I have seen some internal ND references that the amount of the NBC deal is $60 million a year....
