Notre Dame inks $18‑20 million per year jersey patch with major sponsor

The university's football program has secured a multi‑year jersey patch deal that will generate between $18 and $20 million each season. The agreement makes Notre Dame the top earner among collegiate programs with similar sponsorships.

Revenue from the patch will be used to fund facilities upgrades and scholarships. Officials say the partnership also raises the profile of the Fighting Irish on a national stage.
