Fr. Jenkins' Response to NCAA - Media Reacts

The NCAA turned down Notre Dame's appeal for academic fraud penalties -- thus, our Fighting Irish Football team must forfeit 21 victories over the 2012 and 2013 seasons...

This decision is in great contrast to a recent NCAA ruling in favor of North Carolina, even after it was confirmed student-athletes took FAKE CLASSES for years in Chapel Hill -- NCAA RULING.  


Here is Fr. John Jenkins, C.S.C.'s written response to the NCAA -- please take your time reading this -- you'll note that Notre Dame is receiving a penalty for a matter that will never be considered a NCAA violation -- ever again.

Yes, Notre Dame is a BIG TEN CHAMPION!



The folks in Ann Arbor, Columbus, East Lansing, Madison, etc., -- will not enjoy waking up to this news this morning...

In Notre Dame's first foray into the Big Ten Conference -- we win their CHAMPIONSHIP!

It's an achievement they can't claim at Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Penn State -- because these schools have never won a Big Ten Hockey Regular Season Championship.

The only other school that has won this trophy is coached by Notre Dame alum Don Lucia '81 -- the long-time hockey coach at Minnesota.

Lucia was a defenseman for the Fighting Irish and also a hockey dad -- ND Hockey fans will remember his youngest son Mario, donned the Gold Helmet as well...
