NBC Overhauls Notre Dame Football Broadcast Team

Dan Hicks replaces Jac Collinsworth as play-by-play voice, with a strategic shift towards a new No. 1 announcing team.

Jac Collinsworth is replaced by Dan Hicks as the Notre Dame football play-by-play voice after two years in the role.
Noah Eagle and Todd Blackledge are set to become NBC's No. 1 college football announcing team, focusing on Big Ten and high-profile Notre Dame games.
The network's decision reflects a broader strategy to refresh its college football coverage and address criticism of Collinsworth's performance.
Notre Dame's media deal with NBC and Peacock, extending through 2029, underscores the importance of football independence and broadcast quality.
Collinsworth will continue his career at NBC, calling college football and basketball on Peacock and reporting for 'Football Night in America' and the Olympics.
