ND also announced a partnership with Bleacher Report today.


Notre Dame announced a social media partnership with Bleacher Report on Thursday, which will grant the website behind-the-scenes access to the Irish football program during the 2016 season.

A year after partnering with Showtime for its series “A Season With,” the Irish will again give unprecedented access to film and distribute content of “practice, locker room, game day activities, home and away games, travel, academic classrooms and a wide array of student and campus life.”

"Bleacher Report is an industry leader in developing creative, high quality content with fans and we're looking forward to sharing our unique story through its vibrant platform," Kelly said in a statement. "Notre Dame is an institution with an unrivaled national following and this is an incredible way to reach them all, including a new wave of young fans."

Bleacher Report is a digital media company based in San Francisco. It is owned by Turner Sports. Bleacher Report's founder and CEO Dave Finocchio is a 2005 Notre Dame grad.

The release also states that Bleacher Report will produce “compelling human drama pieces, player interviews, features, scripted humor skits and powerful social visuals.”

Details are sketchy, but it seems that BR will provide video content as well..see the "film and distribute content" quote above.



Again, with the ACC Network deal, I wonder how ND is granting digital media and live streaming access deals to Facebook and Bleacher Report , especially with ND getting a full ACC Network revenue share ?

I thought/assumed that Notre Dame retained rights to football and ice hockey, so maybe these projects will be limited to those sports only? Really just guessing... OTOH, the ACC Digital Network will continue to produce shows like these, so maybe it has nothing to do with ESPN at all?

Thanks, I did not know that. I wrote that site off years ago.

Now that there is some definition to the ACC network and what Notre Dame's long term responsibilities are to the ACC and ESPN, the Irish are trying to maximize their exposure in an attempt to make themselves relevant again.

Just like Texas is doing to the Big 12.

Again? Lol.

"Notre Dame and the ACC announced their limited partnership in September 2012. Since, the Fighting Irish have:

Reached back-to-back NCAA men’s basketball tournament Elite Eights for the first time since 1978 and ’79; advanced to a pair of women’s basketball NCAA finals; won the 2013 national men’s soccer championship; played in consecutive men’s lacrosse Final Fours; [b]won seven conference titles.'.

"Absent Notre Dame, there might not well be an ACC Network. Its name was a driving force in ESPN exploring the project, a development that quickly led to the conference’s 2013 grant of media rights, which bound members to the league through 2027 – the grant has since been extended through 2036."

"Also understand that since the Irish began ACC competition in 2013-14, the conference’s guaranteed television revenue has increased 48.6 percent, from $146.6 million to $217.9 million. Not all of that is attributable to Notre Dame, but its presence sure helped."

In football, ND went 12-0 in the 2012 regular season and went to the title game.

Last year, it went 10-2 (with both of its losses being by two points each on the road against Top 5 schools) and qualified for a New Year's Six bowl game.

ND is 39-13 the past 4 seasons in football.

Right now, ND is sitting at #7 in Rivals recruiting ranking for this year (2017) and #2 for 2018.

ND is currently investing $450 million in a stadium renovation/addition project and has its own network TV contract in football (NBC) and hockey (NBC Sports).

Man, not bad for an "irrelevant" program. I hope that one day it will be as relevant as North Carolina....and not for academic fraud, neither.

P.S. ND today declared its 5 star tight end Alize Jones academically ineligible for 2016 by its own standards, although he is still eligible under NCAA regulations.

In other words, he would still be playing at just about every other school.

No fake courses for players at ND........

Are there any credible news services left?
