College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit publicly criticizes Notre Dame’s 2024 football schedule ahead of the team’s trip to BYU in Provo. Multiple outlets report he calls the schedule an “embarrassment” and “incredibly unfair,” arguing it does not provide Notre Dame with an appropriately challenging set of early-season opponents.
Sources also note that Herbstreit’s comments frame BYU as Notre Dame’s first “true test” of the season, with another significant matchup following later when Notre Dame hosts Miami. While most coverage focuses on the schedule critique and what it could mean for postseason evaluations, one outlet highlights that Herbstreit’s remarks are contested or incomplete, implying there is at least one additional scheduling detail that could alter how the criticism is understood.
