A call to the Leprechaun Legion

Letter to the Editor | Friday, February 14, 2020

Dear Leprechaun Legion, Notre Dame’s reputation and prowess in the collegiate athletics world speaks for itself. From the endless number of conference and national championships to the esteemed group of student-athletes who have made the transition to professional careers and to those who are making a difference every day in society, the caliber of the

Think before you tweet

Thomas Diehl | Tuesday, February 4, 2020

Sitting at home on my couch, watching the Notre Dame basketball game against Indiana, I could not help but continually yell at the television. Things like, “Juwan, why would you do that?!” and, “Hubb is a turnover machine,” flew out of my mouth at a constant rate. Was there extra pressure for Notre Dame to

It is about time student athletes get paid

Charlotte Edmonds | Friday, September 13, 2019

Well, it’s a new school year, so naturally we have to fight the same old, unsettled battles. This one — the fight over whether or not to compensate college athletes — has finally taken a new twist, with the State of California leading the charge.

Socks can be the greatest gift ever

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, April 4, 2018

For Christmas this past year, a family member of mine got everyone socks as a gift — now I know what you’re thinking, because it’s exactly what I thought when I unwrapped the present — “oh … um, thanks … socks.” That initial emotion was short-lived and I was filled with remorse when I explored

‘A Season With Notre Dame’ Showtime preview

Miko Malabute | Monday, September 7, 2015

Leading up to the season-opening game, fans were filled with excitement, anticipation and a small dose of anxiety pumping through their veins. Following Notre Dame’s 38-3 victory over the Texas Longhorns, the Irish faithful were ecstatic, excited and relieved in what was a start-to-finish dominating performance. However, there is no true time for rest, as fans are refilled with

The NCAA entitled

Stephen Raab | Tuesday, March 31, 2015

The end of March brings with it the NCAA basketball tournament. The Sweet Sixteen, the Elite Eight, the Final Four — it’s an American tradition like no other. Notre Dame’s out, of course, but no matter who’s playing it’s always fun to relax with the guys and watch the rhythm of the game. (As a

Fr. Ted stressed academic integrity in athletics

Brian Hartnett | Monday, March 2, 2015

Sixty years ago, well before the advent of ESPN, conference realignment and a playoff, the college football system faced many of the same questions it does today regarding the role of student-athletes in university life, the balance between academics and athletics and the need for institutional integrity in the face of big-time college sports.

Students speak on Honor Code

Ann Marie Jakubowski, Isaac Lorton and Samantha Zuba | Friday, October 10, 2014

In many cases, the Honor Code is at most a peripheral part of many students’ academic experiences at Notre Dame. On their syllabi, many professors include the standard Honor Code pledge that reads “As a member of the Notre Dame community, I will not participate in or tolerate academic dishonesty.” Before registering for their freshman
