Notre Dame & Clemson have struck a 12-year annual football scheduling deal, sources tell @YahooSports. The series works independently of the ACC structure but does count as one of ND’s five ACC games. Irish also expected to play FSU & Miami more regularly.

Notre Dame and Clemson already know each other pretty well in football. That relationship will become even more familiar after a 12-year home-and-home scheduling agreement was announced.

It may be four years away but its safe to say Notre Dame will play among the most difficult schedules in the nation in 2029.
