It’s been a while–bowl season to be precise–since I’ve graced the pages of HLS. A lot has happened since I’ve been gone: a dramatic win in the Citrus Bowl that helped to wash away a difficult November of Notre Dame football, a litany of injuries in for men’s and women’s basketball, making for a long winter, and a stellar season of Irish Hockey storming through the Big Ten that helped ease the pain.
Then came February 13th, 2018.
As many of you know on this day, Notre Dame lost their NCAA appeal and was forced to vacate football wins from the 2012 and 2013 season for academic misconduct by a student-trainer.
