Bevacqua interview on the IrishIllustrated podcast.

A few scheduling highlights:

• Believes the Texas series is going to be played, talks with Texas AD regularly about it.
• Confident that the USC series will be back, "Notre Dame and USC should play each other and have to play each other"

Basically no matter what happens, the game will be back in the near future. Riley wins and makes the playoffs, then with expansion on the horizon it doesn't really affect him to reschedule. Riley loses and gets fired, then there is no one against playing the game.

I think USC has a baked in 2 losses to Oregon and Ohio State this year, and then I will be very surprised if they sweep Washington/Penn State/Indiana/UCLA. I think the most likely scenario is 9-3/8-4 with a playoff miss and him being fired. Vegas has them at 8 wins with only a 25% chance to win 10 games.

Bevaqua also said ND - USC wouldn't be canceled, even though it was clear USC wanted to cancel it. From everything Texas is saying, it is clear Texas wants to cancel Texas - ND. Bevaqua said there was permanent damage to the ACC - ND relationship and has now completely walked that back. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.

Everyone will be pleased to know he also said that they’re closer to the ACC now than they ever have been before

The ND/USC game will be put back on the schedule as soon as Lincoln Riley is no longer the coach at USC.

It's similar to the USC situation. If Texas misses the playoffs this year, they will surely back out of the ND game. If there is playoff expansion and/or they make the playoffs this year, they will keep it.

If they to OSU, yes.

If they beat OSU but still miss the playoffs, then they only have themselves to blame.

Fired up when Sampson asked what does Notre Dame Football need and Bevacqua just said “a national championship”
