Why I won’t be cheering for old Notre Dame

Why I won’t be cheering for old Notre Dame:

"Well, since you asked — and many of my friends have, some more than once — no, I will not be cheering for my alma mater, the University of Notre Dame, to win big-time college football’s championship on Jan. 7. What’s really surprising me are those who believe as I do that two players on the team have committed serious criminal acts – sexual assault in one case, and rape in another — but assumed that I’d support the team anyway, just as they are."
What the people expect, they deserve. What they deserve, they get. Always.
--curtain line to my play The Stiff (1975)
