Notre Dame Officials may believe that they have scored notoriety for the fighting Irish, but in the end they will pay a huge price for sacrificing their principles. Not only will they lose donors, but more importantly they have lost their moral authority. If Notre Dame won’t take a stand in support of core Catholic principles, what will they fight for?
