IB Nation Sports Talk: Where Will Notre Dame's Next TV Contract Land?

In this story:
Notre Dame will soon have a new athletic director, which has people wondering what that means for Notre Dame's next TV contract. Will former NBC Sports Chairman and new Irish athletic director Pete Bevacqua keep the Fighting Irish on NBC or will he take them elsewhere? We take a close look at what NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN, and the streamers have as their current college football programming and what it could mean as Bevacqua and Jack Swarbrick negotiate the new deal, which will begin with the 2025 season.
It's also the one year anniversary of IB Nation Sports Talk, so join Sean Stires and Vince DeDario to celebrate.
There's more to discuss in Rapid Fire. The full list of topics is below.
We start Rapid Fire with predictions on where we think Notre Dame's next TV contract will be. Other topics include:
* A quote from Bevacqua on his thoughts about Notre Dame's football independence and what it means for the Irish going forward.
* A listener question about whether Notre Dame would sell its soul to retain its independence.
* Thoughts on USC traveling 16,134 miles and UCLA logging 15,412 miles in their first season in the Big Ten next year.
* Stanford pitcher Quinn Matthews threw 156 pitches in his NCAA Super Regional elimination game win over Texas on Sunday. Is that too much?
* Thoughts on Conor McGregor sent the Miami Heat mascot to the hospital when he punched him twice during a mid-game stunt in game four of the NBA Finals.
