A huge step for college football to be played as schedule for Notre Dame in 2020 was taken Monday as the university announced it will welcome students back to campus for fall semester starting the week of August 10.

NOTRE DAME, INDIANA –
The University of Notre Dame will welcome students back to campus for the 2020-21 fall semester the week of Aug. 10, two weeks earlier than originally scheduled, and will forgo fall break in October and end the semester before Thanksgiving, the University’s president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., announced in letters to the campus community.
