At the end of ESPN's newest 30 for 30 film, "Catholics vs. Convicts," as the curtains drop and the credits roll on the piece that looks back at the T-shirt that inflamed the Miami-Notre Dame rivalry in 1988, former Irish basketball captain Joe Fredrick recounts how a friend told him he would have been better off trademarking the phrase, a move with which Fredrick wanted nothing to do.
"Until I read later there were a couple finance kids [who] did trademark the phrase and they sold about a half-million dollars worth of Catholics vs. Convicts shirts," Fredrick says, laughing.
