The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will pay $1.9 million to the California Golden Bears for a Sept. 17, 2022 home game, according to an agreement released Monday by the Berkeley university.
The payout is more than the $1.25 million promised to Marshall for a home game the week prior, the $1.2 million offered to the Cincinnati Bearcats for a game in Notre Dame Stadium in 2021 and the $1 million given to the Alabama Crimson Tide for a 2028 home game.
The Irish and Golden Bears four times between 1959 and 1967, with Notre Dame prevailing in all four.
