Notre Dame’s football team will be the subject of a new reality series on Showtime this fall. The show will be titled “A Season With Notre Dame Football,” and will begin September 8th.
The “Hard Knocks” type show will certainly attract large viewership, will be a boon to the school’s brand and may even help in recruiting, but it could be a distraction for the team.
NFL players who appear on similar television shows are adults who are paid to play football. Some of the kids that will appear on this show for Notre Dame are just months removed from living with their parents and high school.
