One of the most common points of contention from opposing fans towards Notre Dame is the unique partnerships the Irish have with NBC for coverage of all their home games. Opposing fans don’t like that Notre Dame is able to “have their own network” and complain about it frequently. As NBC’s coverage continues to evolve, however, is the network going too far in ensuring coverage is fair and balanced?
Earlier this week NBC announced that recent ESPN defector Mike Tirico would be the play by play announcer for Notre Dame’s first three home games while Dan Hicks is on assignment.
