Notre Dame, NBC Extend Deal Through 2025

(CBS) NBC announced Thursday it has extended its partnership with Notre Dame through 2025.

The extension will officially begin during the 2016 season.

"While our relationship with NBC Sports is longstanding, the more recent merger between NBC and Comcast has opened up additional avenues to expand the breadth of Notre Dame-related sports programming on NBC platforms," Notre Dame athletics director Jack Swarbrick said in a statement.

"Specifically, the evolution of the NBC Sports Network has provided opportunities for special programming featuring inside looks at our football team and several other Notre Dame sports programs and in-depth profiles on the unsung heroes of Notre Dame athletics. These are examples of the growth of our partnership, and we look forward to collaborating on additional projects and distribution strategies in seasons to come."
