Notre Dame used the occasion of the first home game of the 2020 season to announce a contract extension for head football coach Brian Kelly. The contract is extended through 2024. ND's Athletic Director, Jack Swarbrick, said in a statement that the announcement had been planned for the Blue-Gold Game in April, but when the game was canceled the announcement was delayed until this weekend. The terms of the contract extension were actually negotiated in late 2019.
