UNDER THE DOME
$150,000
Fee owed by Notre
Dame to the Uni‑
versity of Texas, as first reported by FBSched‑
ules.com, for the cancellation of the tenta‑
tively scheduled 2019‑20 games between the
two schools. The addition of the University of
Georgia to Notre Dame's schedule in 2017 and
2019 set those wheels in motion. Notre Dame and
Texas had an original four‑year scheduling agree‑
ment. Next season's meeting still will be played on
Sept. 5, 2015, in South Bend, Ind., and Texas will host
Notre Dame on Sept. 3, 2016.

WEIS (2005‑09) is expected to make in 2015 to
not coach. The University of Kansas fired Weis
Sept. 28 following a 23‑0 loss to Texas that
dropped his career record with the Jayhawks
to 6‑22. Per USA Today's Steve Berkowitz,
Weis is still projected to receive $2.5 million
from Kansas in 2015 for the duration of his
contract and approximately $2.1 million in
severance from Notre Dame through Decem‑
ber 2015. Weis reportedly received an initial
payment of $6,638,403 after his December
2009 firing from Notre Dame, and his buy‑
out money from the school would total
$18,966,867.
