It's July 23rd. This is Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim Priest with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated.

Pete Samson from the Athletic is joining us.

And guys, we've got a few things to talk about here today, a little bit of Notre Dame recruiting.

The potential for the Notre Dame schedule is what I want to start with.

It's our understanding that the ACC in accordance with Notre Dame is ultimately going to

announce a delay to the start of the season until the end of September.

We expect that to happen this week, but putting timetables on these kind of things is difficult to do.

But we expect that to happen here in fairly short order.

How that impacts Nordim's schedule.

We'll get into that.

Pete, you had an opportunity to do a couple interviews with Brian Kelly and Clark Lee.

We want to talk about that.

And then the Chance Tucker verbal commitment.

But have you heard, Pete, first of all, anything about the delay of the season that I'm talking about?

No, I haven't.

I mean, it's, I get the sense talking to people around Notre Dame that there's not an expectation they're going to play in the fall at all, which doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense to not

delay until, you know, October, a triple negative there. I think it's just a delay until October

makes sense, but I certainly wouldn't read a delay into October as they're actually going to play in October.

Right, right.

Yeah, I expect them to play in the spring.

Tim, what are your thoughts on this, Tim?
