Notre Dame is no stranger to opening itself up as a home to international athletes. The current Summer Olympics in Paris should help serve as a reminder of the school’s tremendous reach, as they sent seventeen current and former athletes overall to the games. Six of those seventeen represent five different countries other than the United States.
It’s no surprise or big secret why Notre Dame has had so much success with international players, as the combination of academics and athletics has made the Notre Dame brand huge around the globe.
