After a look at the College Football Playoff dates, locations and TV assignments, Irish Breakdown discusses whether NBC should create a Notre Dame centric alternate broadcast on Peacock. All but one Notre Dame home game as well as the Shamrock Series game will be broadcast on NBC with a simulcast on Peacock. Do you Buy or Sell an alternate broadcast (think Manning Cast) on Peacock rather than a direct simulcast? Who are some possibilities to host? Could they duplicate the Manning Cast formula that ESPN/ESPN2 have for Monday Night Football?
