Info reported like this example from Slap the Sign...a Notre Dame Site

[I]It all goes back to the ACC deal that Notre Dame has. The deal states that Notre Dame competes in the ACC for most of their sports, like basketball and baseball, while football gets to remain independent. The caveat is that they have to play five ACC teams annually in football. [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/why-the-notre-dame-acc-marriage-of-convenience-may-evolve-into-a-meaningful-relationship-beyond-2020/']This deal goes through 2036,[/URL] and during that time period, the only conference Notre Dame can join is the ACC.[/I]

or  the Sporting News

[I]The Irish are hitched to a pair of television contracts. The deal with NBC runs through 2025 and draws approximately $15 million per year. ESPN's contract with the ACC runs through 2036. That grant of rights deal includes language that if Irish choose to join a conference in football before 2036, they are contractually obligated to join the ACC.[/I]
