NIU is a giant killer.

Last year it was BC. They also have recent wins against Ga. Tech, BYU, and Nebraska. They're doing something right there.

How much did Notre Dame pay Northern Illinois?​

Notre Dame owes Northern Illinois $1.4 million for Saturday’s game, according to terms of a contract obtained by the USA TODAY Network through an open records request.

The deal, which was signed in February 2019, requires the Irish to pay the Huskies that sum no later than 60 days after the game’s completion.

It’s not the only “buy game” Notre Dame has this season. On Sept. 21, it will host Miami (Ohio), which it has agreed to pay $1.25 million, according to a contract signed in May 2021. The RedHawks are the reigning MAC champions and were picked to win the league this season, putting them two spots ahead of Northern Illinois.

As shocking as the Huskies’ win Saturday was, it’s not the first time Notre Dame has shelled out more than $1 million to lose at home to a Group of Five foe.

In 2022, in Freeman’s second game as head coach, the Irish lost 26-21 to Marshall, which it paid $1.25 million to make the trip to South Bend.
