For nearly 70 years, Notre Dame and Purdue engaged in a heated in-state rivalry. That rivalry series ended after 2014, but is set to be revived. However, the next series between the two sides could very well be the last.

According to Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski via CollegeFootballTalk, the series may end once the final game is played. Purdue and Notre Dame are slated to play a six-game series between 2021 and 2028.

Notre Dame is slated to host the first game of the six-game series in 2021. The series will then resume with Purdue hosting in 2024, after which the two sides will alternate hosting until 2028.

Bobinski explained that there was a conflict with Notre Dame’s “scheduling dynamic and philosophy.” He made it clear that it was unlikely that Purdue would add the Fighting Irish to their schedule beyond that.

“Notre Dame has got its own unique scheduling dynamic and philosophy,” said Bobinski. “They thought the six-game stretch that we are gonna have coming up here for the time being as all they wanted to commit to and they wanted to think about other things moving out into the ’30s.”

The two sides faced each other every year between 1946 and 2014.

Notre Dame owns a decisive series lead with a 56-26-2 record against Purdue.

The Fighting Irish are currently riding a seven-game winning streak against the Boilermakers. However, two of those wins from 2012 and 2013 were later vacated.
