Nearly half of the new flights are for Notre Dame games, including the home game against USC on October 18. Flights have also been added for ND home games against Texas A&M (September 13), Purdue (September 20), Boise State (October 4), NC State (October 11), Navy (November 8) and Syracuse (November 22).

Two Notre Dame rivalries have been nominated among the top 25 in college football in a list produced by The Athletic. They are, unsurprisingly, the matchups against USC and Michigan. Notre Dame faces USC just about every season, with last year's meeting in Los Angeles going to the Fighting Irish, 49-35.

When does a new rivalry begin in college football? Notre Dame and Clemson may have already planted the seeds ahead of a 12-game series.
