Notre Dame is getting closer to filling out its 2022 schedule after announcing with Cal on Monday that the Golden Bears will travel to South Bend in 2022 for a one-game series in Notre Dame Stadium on September 17, 2022. It will be the first meeting between the schools since 1967.
The financial details of the deal between the schools are fascinating, with Notre Dame paying Cal $1.9 million for making the trip from the west coast to Indiana for the early season matchup. Cal, likely motivated by the $1.9 million and opportunity to play in Notre Dame Stadium, had to move a game against UNLV to accommodate the scheduling.
