Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love has always carried himself with purpose—but no one expected his latest move. After an electrifying season that put him on every All-American watchlist, Love has acquired Elon Musk’s $700 million superyacht and renamed it “The Playoff Promise.” The bold new name is fueling speculation about Notre Dame’s ambitions and Love’s role in them.
According to reports, Love made the purchase using a mix of NIL endorsements, tech investments, and a rumored NFT collaboration with former Notre Dame greats. What raised eyebrows wasn’t the purchase—it was the mission. Love says the yacht is being retrofitted to serve as a mobile training and mentorship hub for underserved high school athletes. “It’s about access, belief, and keeping your promise to the grind,” he said during a press conference near South Bend.
Head coach Marcus Freeman weighed in: “That’s Jeremiyah. He’s not just building stats, he’s building a legacy.” Social media exploded after photos of the yacht’s custom golden shamrock sails went viral.
Fans are calling it a prophetic move—“The Playoff Promise” representing both Love’s personal vow and Notre Dame’s renewed push for a national title. And if his play is anything like his vision, the Irish may be sailing toward history.
