August 15, 2024
A statement from University of Notre Dame Vice President and James E. Rohr Director of Athletics Pete Bevacqua:
“After receiving reports of possible misconduct on our men’s swimming team, the University of Notre Dame engaged the law firm of Ropes & Gray LLP to conduct an in-depth review, which is now complete. The external review confirmed and expanded on our initial concerns about a deeply embedded team culture dismissive of Notre Dame’s standards for student-athletes, including our expectation that they treat one another with dignity and respect.
