I am sure ND would like to get out of the Syracuse game.

There is no question they would like to have another home game.  They are short one for 2026.

The reason is because the ND AD office made a horrible gaffe planning future football schedules years ago and thought the 2026 game with Syracuse was in South Bend.

It never was and now that they have finally realized this, they are scrambling to find a way to get another home game.

These ND fanboys think ND can just cancel an ACC road game.  They cannot.  They signed a contract to play 5 ACC games every season.

Now if they were able to get their home game against Stanford to count as an ACC game, this might be possible but even they are acknowledging that is not going to happen.

We are already selling season tickets for football for next season and one of the highlights is the ND game.  If they wanted to do something, it needed to be done far earlier.

I think the only way this might happen is if ND gives Syracuse an enormous payoff.  Think something in the $10 million range.

ND wants another home game so they can make more money.  If they have to make a huge buyout payoff it will all be for nought.
