Just read this and it is very interesting. Last December Notre Dame decided to move Saturdays home game to NYC and Yankee Stadium to play Syracuse. Syracuse as we all know is having a very good season and is currently ranked in the top 12 in most polls.
So in a must win game to get in the CFP ND now plays a top 12 team in their home state rather than at their home stadium. With the loss of seats moving from ND stadium to Yankee stadium I am sure there was a little lost revenue on tickets sales as well.
To top it all off the following week they are at USC so they have then scheduled themselves having to play on both coasts in a week
