They only played 4 last year so they added the 6th game this year to make up for it. ND tried to buy out of their trip to play Arizona State so they could play a 5th ACC game last year but Graham wouldn't let them out of the deal. FWIW, Arizona State's "road game" at ND as part of that deal was played in Arlington, Texas as part of the "Shamrock Series" so it wasn't a true road game. Partly because of that, ND thought they could get out of going to Tempe.Originally posted by TIGER-PAUL:

This is not true. It was our former AD Steve Patterson who would not let them back out. ASU and Notre Dame had a 3 game series that was agreed to. 1 game in Arlington, 1 game in Tempe, and 1 game in South Bend. Notre Dame wanted to cancel the home and home, ASU let them out of the game in South Bend as it wasnt scheduled til 2017 but absolutely would not let ND out of the 2014 game a year before it was scheduled to be played. ASU already got burned once like that and had to scramble to find what ended up being an fcs opponent which ended up costing them a bowl game that year because the fcs win didnt count towards eligibility.Originally posted by Sean Miller Fan:

I wouldn't have let them out either. I can't bang on ASU for doing what they did. If we had a glamour team coming in ooc, and they tried to cancel late, this board would be on fire.Originally posted by runshadyrun:
"Gee, we'll gladly let you out of the game WE have to travel to, but, you coming here? Absolutely no way we're letting you out of that!!!" Fraud is a perfect fit there.
