The NCAA National Championship in Division II for football -- might just be played today in Big Rapids, MI -- as #1 Ferris State takes on #3 Grand Valley in today's NCAA Playoff game...
The game kicks off at 1 PM ET -- you can watch it LIVE right here: FERRIS TV
Ferris State is the only undefeated team in Division II --- and they're led by last year's top lacrosse player in Division I at QB!
Fast forward the video to the 5:10 mark to the talk about Notre Dame and the playoffs...

We made the decision this year to recognize the thousands of "unsung heroes" here at the University of Notre Dame. Their efforts kept the university up and running during the pandemic, while many other schools decided it was not worth the risk...
ln May of 2020, I watched singer/songwriter Jeffrey James (Brownsburg, IN) perform his song "We Can Be Heroes" on NBC's Songland. I immediately fell in love with the song and contacted Jeffrey's agent the very next day and suggested that we shoot a music video of this song on the Notre Dame campus.
I quickly learned that because Jeffrey had just performed the song on NBC and the show's staff had helped him re-write some lyrics and change up the melody -- that the song was off limits for a year...
Well, a year passed and Jeffrey's agent -- Chris Ferren reached out to me and as they say -- the rest is history.
The same week we shot the music video on campus, Jeffrey performed at our Friday Night Bash at Notre Dame Stadium -- the night before our game against Purdue.
Hope you like the music video and the story it tells. Please note, you're going to want to hang around and watch all of the credits...
1. Notre Dame clobbers Stanford -- wouldn't it be nice if we kept Stanford without a TD!
