Seems like they're positioning to put more mainstream sports on this network... which could be good or bad for ND. What I'm interested to see is whether this network continues to get included in standard cable packages (e.g. through Verizon, Comcast, etc.) or turns into a subscription thing... or the converse happens and Comcast/NBC starts making ESPN subscriber only.

I like it.


I just hope they start replaying "classic" Notre Dame games in HD.

I think the goal is to mirror ABC/ESPN. I could see this combo going after another school like Texas and doing a ND/Texas deal rather than a SEC type deal.

Even if the Irish do not perform, what else is NBC going to show Saturday afternoons in the fall that draw as high of ratings as ND football?
