I'll include the link to the story I did back in April on Peter's life as a Notre Dame football walk-on in the Ara Parseghian Era and how it shaped his life and so many others' lives beyond his time at ND. Once he heard the football walk-ons were endangered of extinction, Schivarelli became ab advocate with Notre Dame's leadership for all of them to push to "grandfather" the walk-ons into the new roster limits that go into effect on July 1, now that the House v. NCAA settlement has finally been approved. Peter, the longtime manager of the band Chicago, is over-the-moon thrilled with the end result, which was the best-case scenario.
“It’s bad enough they want to phase out the walk-ons,” Schivarelli said from the house near the ND campus, just ahead of the [April 12] Blue-Gold Game. “But to do it cold turkey, you can’t do that. For those players that have been working for three years, and then to take it away in their last year?
“If that had happened to me, I’d rather be dead. I’m serious, I’d rather be dead. That’s how much that experience meant to me and still does.”
