Notre Dame and the Pac-12: A Historic Rivalry Comes to an End

Notre Dame has a longstanding connection to the Pac-12, with historic games against Stanford and USC in the 1920s helping to elevate the Fighting Irish’s national image. Although Notre Dame has faced all 12 Pac-12 teams on the football field, they hold a losing record against just one team.

For now, the lights of the Pac-12 are dimmed, leaving fans to reflect on the history of the conference and its teams.
