Athletics by the Numbers
  • Notre Dame is one of the few universities to rank in the top 25 in both the U.S. News & World Report survey of America’s best colleges and the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup standings of the best overall athletic programs.
  • Fighting Irish athletics programs have produced the second most Academic All-Americans among Division I-A colleges and universities.

Leadership Giving

“There is no better feeling than putting on a Notre Dame uniform. I always have felt, and will always feel, an awesome sense of pride from wearing Irish across my chest. Some of my fondest memories were made while wearing my jersey. As a Notre Dame student-athlete, I had the opportunity to be part of something that was much bigger than myself. It was truly an honor to play for an institution with such a proud tradition and rich history.” Caitlin McKinney (’08)
