A hypothetical Notre Dame football schedule in the Big Ten conference would look very similar to schedules in the past.

At Big Ten media days, commissioner and former Notre Dame law school graduate Kevin Warren did not rule out further expansion. According to sources, the Notre Dame football program is seeking $75 million to remain independent.

Will the Fighting Irish stay independent, or will they choose to join a league like the Big Ten? That answer likely comes in the next weeks, months, years, and possibly decades after this article is written.

If the Notre Dame football team did join the Big Ten, what would their schedule look like? Hypothetically, the schedule might closely resemble a schedule before the Irish pact with the ACC.
