Baylor and Notre Dame are looking at playing a game in the Dallas-Fort Worth area – at either the Cotton Bowl or the Cowboys' new stadium – in 2012.
Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw said, however, several issues must be resolved before any official announcement is made.
First and foremost is the television rights. The game would be a home game for Notre Dame. The Irish and Baylor would like the game to be televised by NBC, which holds the rights to Notre Dame home games.
But Big 12 officials have told McCaw that the Big 12 television contract calls for neutral site games played by member schools in what is considered a Big 12 viewing area to be aired by ABC.
