"There is no academic virtue in playing mediocre football and no academic vice in winning a game that by all odds one should lose...There has indeed been a surrender at Notre Dame, but it is a surrender to excellence on all fronts, and in this we hope to rise above ourselves with the help of God."
- Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., "The Facts Of The Matter," Sports Illustrated (1959-01-19),
