Notre Dame President: 'I Hope We'll Have Football' This Fall

Although Notre Dame has shifted its academic calendar, it remains uncertain of the football program's schedule.

The university announced Monday that it plans to start its fall semester two weeks early and end it at Thanksgiving break. Despite this, Notre Dame president Father John Jenkins said he doesn't know if football will return this fall.

"It's not just our decision," Jenkins told The Today Show. It's the decision of all institutions in Division 1 across the nation, so we're going to talk to all of them and we'll see what is safe, what is possible.
