Photo by Samuel Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images It didn’t come as any type of surprise when the NCAA announced the field of 64 for the 2025 Baseball Tournament... Notre Dame didn’t make it. The Irish ended the season with a very respectable 32-20 record after winning 16 of its last 19 regular season games.

The importance of Notre Dame Football’s independence has been something which has been talked about, argued about, and reported about for decades. While it’s sometimes hard to imagine the complete college football narrative during the pre-internet world, Irish independence wasn’t remotely as hot of a subject back then as it is now. It did, however, really start heating up when Notre Dame made its historical television deal with NBC.

Photo by Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Notre Dame football roster is full of great players — known and unknown. No matter the place on the depth chart or the recruiting ranking a player had attached to him before his arrival at Notre Dame — there are probably some things I really like about him. So over the course of the next few months, let’s take a positive approach to running down the roster.

Notre Dame Baseball: Irish blow a big opportunity against Boston College

2 weeks ago | onefootdown.com | Joshua Vowles

Everything was in front of the Notre Dame baseball team on Tuesday night against the Boston College Eagles in the ACC Tournament — and they blew it. The Irish came into that game with an RPI of 40 and one of the last four teams in the NCAA Tournament (according to most projections). Still... they really needed a win against BC to feel comfortable, and a win over the Virginia Cavaliers to put it in stone. They will have neither, and will now be at the mercy of the selection committee this weekend.
