If you’re not already aware, Joe Biden has won the 2020 Presidential election. You might be wondering what that has to do with Notre Dame and Clemson’s showdown in South Bend tonight, but I promise there is good reason to connect this and you’ll thank me for the information shortly.
Biden is scheduled to address the nation tonight for the first time as the President-Elect.
As a result, NBC will drop out of coverage of the No. 1 Clemson vs. No. 4 Notre Dame game to carry his address.
During that time, the game will switch to being shown on USA Network, just as the South Florida game was back in September.
Once Biden is done with his speech, NBC will return to covering the game on network television.
BREAKING: The Notre Dame – Clemson game will move to the USA Network once Joe Biden starts his press conference.
USA will begin simulcasting the game at 7:55 PM.
NBC will not leave the game until Biden steps to the podium.
