Graduation moves to Notre Dame Stadium

In a move to accommodate more people at graduation -- the University of Notre Dame is moving Commencement, for the first time, to Notre Dame Stadium.

This morning, Notre Dame announced the eight who would be receiving Honorary Degrees from the University. Here's a link to the story:
