In numbers that resonate with TV executives, Notre Dame ranks eighth in the number of non-bowl/playoff games watched in recent seasons by at least three million people, per Sports Media Watch. The Irish had a total of 16 games with three million or more viewers in 2018, ’19 and ’21.

And they lost at least 2 games each season...so it wasn't like people were tuning in to watch a juggernaught.

People hate to hear it on this board but Notre Dame draws, draws, draws...eyeballs.

They're THE national brand.

They by far and away have the largest national fan base in the country. Most every city across the US with at least 350,000 people have a dedicated Notre Dame bar to watch games.

Yep. They're exactly like the Dallas Cowboys. Haven't won a championship or even gotten really close in a long time, yet people tune in to watch them.

Which is wild to me because here inside my little bubble, they’re irrelevant

I’ve never once had the urge to flip over to a ND game

They’re as boring as Boston College to me
