With the recent conclusion of a wildly successful Notre Dame football season and the ongoing dominance of the highly ranked women’s basketball team, Notre Dame Athletics is in the midst of a historic year—which is saying something for an athletics program as tradition-rich and accomplished as that of the Fighting Irish. In this episode of For Good , Pete Bevacqua, the James E. Rohr Director of Athletics, shares how Notre Dame continues to reassert its relevance, its importance, and its independence within the world of collegiate athletics, even as seismic changes threaten to alter and disrupt the sports landscape.
