UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME History •

•

The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

Students •

Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

•

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

•

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

First Year of Studies The First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate colleges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete Success Notre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprecedented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves capable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

SPORTS MEDICINE

Sports Medicine While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its athletes fit and ready to compete. With training facilities in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, the training staff is always there to care for athletes. With approximately 200 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopaedics to provide first-class care.

THIS IS NOTRE DAME

The University of Notre Dame When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

Jack Swarbrick Director of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his second year as director of athletics at his alma mater.

His first year on campus in 2008-09 featured the announcement of plans for a new, free-standing ice hockey arena; creation of an athletic administrative division to enhance athletic performance — plus 35 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and four NCAA postgraduate Scholarship winners.

Notre Dame teams in 2008-09 finished as the NCAA runner-up in both women’s soccer (26-1, led by Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks) and fencing (men 33-0, women 32-2), while the women’s tennis squad advanced to the NCAA semifinals. The Irish men’s soccer squad was seeded 14th in the NCAA bracket, while the hockey team ranked fourth in the final poll after winning CCHA regular-season and postseason crowns. Men’s lacrosse finished unbeaten in the regular season (and second in the final poll) -- and women’s lacrosse won its first BIG EAST title.

Notre Dame also ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers with a 98 for all student-athletes. The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more perfect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution.

Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick’s leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the bid to host the 2012 Super Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours, and other college championship competitions plus a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports.

He served as sports commissioner of the 1982 U.S. Olympic Festival in Indianapolis, competition director of the ’87 Pan American Games, and chairman of the ’91 World Gymnastics Championships. Swarbrick has served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick and his wife Kimberly are the parents of four children: Kate, a senior at Saint Louis University; Connor, a junior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior in high school; and Christopher, a high school junior.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Homes of the Fighting Irish In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imaginable. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the southeast corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

Notre Dame seeks its 14th consecutive BIG EAST Conference title in 2009-10 to extend the league’s longest winning streak of any team in any sport.

Season Preview Repeat and Advance Lofty goals within reach for defending BIG EAST Conference Champions under second-year head coach Brian Barnes

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Winning a conference championship just once would be a noteworthy accomplishment for many programs throughout the nation.

However, Notre Dame is not just another program.

With a BIG EAST Conference record 13 consecutive league titles to its name, the Irish swimming and diving program not only seeks a 14th trophy but has its sights set on NCAA hardware.

Notre Dame head coach Brian Barnes, now in his second season with the program after earning four men’s and women’s national titles as an assistant at Auburn, has his program poised to make an impact on the national scene this season.

“It was a great first year in terms of the advancement of our program, while I’ve gotten to learn about Notre Dame and the student-athlete at Notre Dame,” Barnes said. “This season’s team is different than last year, as most Junior Samantha Maxwell will be a key instrument in leading the Irish to a 14th consecutive BIG EAST title. teams are from year to year. But when you really evaluate the potential up and down the roster, we can make and 3-meter events at the league meet to earn the program. He also pointed out that the distance some great things happen. the BIG EAST Most Outstanding Diver award. corps, paced by Lauren Sylvester and Zeina Shanata, is “I’ve asked them if they are content with just The experience that those three alone bring also much improved with the additions of Jaime winning the BIG EAST title and challenged to the table provides Barnes with a strong Malandra and Gracie Fredlake. them to shoot to achieve something bigger and nucleus to build upon throughout the season.

meet of the year. The rest of the time we are going to talk about the NCAA Championships.

“This team has All-American potential all over it. There are some exciting things in the water right now. To enter the collegiate season knowing that we have the tools in the shed, I think we can put more points on the board at the NCAAs. I think we could come out of this season with a pretty good showing in March.”

But before March rolls along the Irish have a hefty schedule cut out for them. Five home meets and trips to a pair of Big Ten schools highlight the 2009-10 slate.

"The road to the NCAA Championships in March is a process, and all of these meets along with our training trip are part of that process," Barnes said. "We've put together a competitive schedule that should help us achieve several goals, including defending our BIG EAST Championship and sending even more participants to the NCAA Championships."

Notre Dame opens with the 26th edition of the Dennis Stark Relays (Oct. 9) at the Rolfs Aquatic Center and hosts Michigan one day later.

“The Dennis Starks Relays is a fun meet, but being able to honor Coach Starks for his contributions to the program is the best part of the day,” Barnes said.

Trips to Purdue (Nov. 6) and Indiana's Hoosierland Invite (Nov. 20-22) round out the fall portion of the schedule.

The Irish will head to Hawaii for the program's annual winter training trip Dec. 28-Jan. 8 but will have little time to rest as Northwestern comes to town on Jan. 9.

Senior Day ceremonies are scheduled for the Jan. 16 home meet against Louisville, and the Shamrock Invitational (Jan. 29-30) is the final meet of the regular season.

The 2010 BIG EAST Conference Diving Championships will take place Feb. 12-14 in Pittsburgh, Pa., while the swimming events run from Feb. 17-20.

Purdue will host the NCAA Zone Diving Championships (March 12-13) and the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships (March 18-20).

Diver Natalie Stitt hopes to defend her 1- and 3-meter titles at the 2010 BIG EAST Championships.

Coaching Staff

Brian Barnes and his staff look to take Notre Dame deeper into the NCAAs this season after sending three student-athletes to the national meet in 2009.

Head Coach

Brian Barnes

Head Coach Second Season Indiana ’95

Brian Barnes was named the University of Notre Dame's head women's swimming coach in August 2008 after serving as an assistant coach at Auburn since 2005.

"We're thrilled that Brian has come to lead our women's swimming program," said Notre Dame athletics director Jack Swarbrick.

"He has worked with world-class swimmers at Auburn, and he competed as part of a program at Indiana that has as much tradition as any. He absolutely understands what it takes to be successful in the environment of women's swimming at the intercollegiate level."

"It's an absolute honor to be here at Notre Dame," Barnes said. "My coaching career has now gone full circle, beginning as a club coach for 10-year-olds and practicing at (Notre Dame's) Rolfs Aquatic Center to being the head coach here.

"I'm fired up and honored to be able to represent Notre Dame. This school is one of the finest academic institutions in the world, and I certainly believe that you also can have high levels of success here at Notre Dame in women's swimming and diving."

Barnes wasted no time in placing the Irish back at the forefront of the BIG EAST Conference by leading the team to its 13th consecutive league title in 2009, the longest streak by any team (and in sport) in conference history. Notre Dame won 10 events at the BIG EAST Championships while earning 40 allleague accolades and teamed to reset 12 program records. Furthermore, the Irish sent three student-athletes to the NCAA Championships with Samantha Maxwell coming home with a pair of All-America honors as Notre Dame finished 31st overall. Six swimmers also participated in the 2009 World Championship Trials.

For his efforts, Barnes was named the 2009 BIG EAST Women’s Coach of the Year.

An Osceola, Ind., native, Barnes helped guide both the Auburn men's and women's swim-

50

ming teams to NCAA Championships in 2006 and 2007. The men won the Southeastern Conference meet three times from 2006 through ’08, while the women picked up a pair of league titles during that span. In 2008, Auburn's men placed fifth at the NCAA meet, with the women posting a runner-up performance.

Barnes spent the bulk of his time working with Auburn's middle-distance performers. The Auburn student-athletes earned 84 All-America honors from 30 different athletes and six NCAA individual championships in Barnes' final season with the program in ’08 -- as the women finished their season as one of the top two teams in the country for the seventh year in a row. The Tiger women have won five of the last seven NCAA team titles with the only other second-place finish coming in 2005.

Barnes spent three seasons (2002-05) as the assistant men's swimming coach at his alma mater, Indiana University. He helped coach the 2005 Hoosiers to their highest finish at the NCAA Championships since 1991 and their first 10-win dual meet season since 1985. In 2005, Indiana garnered 29 All-America honors, the most since 1976, and finished second at the Big Ten Conference Championships. In 2004, the Hoosiers had five All-Americans and finished 17th at the NCAA Men's Championships.

Prior to his coaching stint at Indiana, Barnes served as the head coach of the Lawrence (Kan.) Aquahawks from 1998-02. With the Aquahawks, he was responsible for the general management of a 200-member, parent-run swim club. He created a program for swimmers ages five to 22, planning practices and meet schedules for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

During his tenure, Barnes produced a number of collegiate swimmers who went on to swim at the NCAA Division I level and was recognized as the Region VIII Coach of the Year in 2000.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

Before joining the Aquahawks, Barnes served as the assistant coach at the University of Kansas from 1997-98. He developed daily workouts and was involved in every aspect of recruiting. Barnes began his coaching career with the Michiana Marlins, a USA Swimming club team in South Bend, Ind., that held practices in the Rolfs Aquatic Center at Notre Dame.

At his club stops, Barnes coached a 2002 National Junior Team swimmer, a 2001 Central Zone record-holder, a 1998 World Championship finalist, two of the top eight finalists at the Senior Nationals in 1996, and a Missouri Valley swimming record-holder. He also coached several national age-group top-16 qualifiers (including one champion), several Missouri Valley age-group champions, numerous Indiana State Champions and record-holders, and several national championship qualifiers.

Barnes was a highly accomplished swimmer during his career at Indiana from 1992-95. He was a two-time All-American and a five-time honorable mention All-American. His school record in the 400 Individual Medley stood for more than 15 years from 1992 until 2007. A two-time team most valuable swimmer, he served as team captain during his senior campaign.

The two-time Indiana Swimming Male Swimmer of the Year (1989, 1995) was also a member of the USA Swimming National Team in 1989 and 1992. Barnes was a U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier in 1992 and 1996.

A 1995 graduate of Indiana, Barnes earned a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and is a level4 certified member of the American Swimming Coaches Association.

In July 2004, Barnes married the former Alyssa Winter of Surry, N.H. They are the parents of Jack and Caroline.

What They're Saying About Brian Barnes...

Richard Quick Fromer Head Swimming and Diving Coach, Auburn University "Brian is a great coach that many people in the nation don't know about yet. He has great intuition in terms of what an athlete needs and how to get the most out of that athlete."

David Marsh Head Swimming Coach, United States Olympic Committee Center of Excellence with Mecklenburg Aquatic Club (N.C.) "He is one of the top young coaches in the United States. His background gives him tremendous experience at all levels and in all events. The passion Brian will pour into Notre Dame will no doubt lead to phenomenal success in the future. Notre Dame hit a home run with this hire."

Vicki Schmidt Kansas State Senator "I'm one of Brian's most ardent fans. He is the best thing in swimming. He is everything that is great about a coach and represents all that a coach should be. He coached our son throughout high school and became a part of our family, and it speaks to Brian's character that he has stayed in touch with us throughout the years. I wish I could have sent more children his way! He has no weaknesses, only strengths. Notre Dame is a lucky school to have landed him. He will make the University proud. I'm thrilled that he gets to return home and I look forward to following his progress."

Eric Nelson Head Swimming Coach, Wichita Swim Club (Kan.) "I think Notre Dame made a great hire in Brian Barnes. He is a great leader of student-athletes. He's an extremely confident and professional coach. The best thing about him is that he cares about people. Notre Dame will turn out great swimmers and great people under Brian."

Getting To Know Irish Head Coach Brian Barnes On being born and raised in the South Bend area …

I was born in Mishawaka (Ind.) and was the fourth of five children. When I was one, we moved to Osceola and I lived in the same house for 18 years. I grew up swimming for the Michiana Marlins who practiced in various pools in the South Bend school district and here at Notre Dame. My big ties to Notre Dame were definitely through football. We were big Notre Dame fans and took a particular liking to (former head football coach) Lou Holtz. I remember my father pulling for Notre Dame when they won the national championship in 1977.

When you grow up in Osceola and close to Notre Dame, you dream of playing football for the Irish.

That was common at my middle school and my high school. Of course I thought about that when I was younger, but it was my goal to swim collegiately.

On how he began his career as a swim coach …

I graduated from Penn High School and went off to Indiana University. After I graduated there, I came back to the area knowing that I wanted to coach but I didn’t know how to get into the profession. I was presented with a great opportunity with the Michiana Marlins and I started off coaching the 10-and-under swimmers here at the Rolfs Aquatic Center.

The head coaching position with the Michiana Marlins freed up. I have to be honest – I didn’t really know what I was doing as a 23-year-old head coach. I coached the Marlins for one year and was then presented with the opportunity to coach collegiately at Kansas. I moved to Lawrence and coached at KU for one year.

There was a local club team that showed a lot of potential and a lot of promise. I applied and accepted a position with the Lawrence AquaHawks and I knew that with taking the job I would stay put for a while.

I was there for four years coaching the program. It was a great program, as we started out with 85 swimmers. Over the course of my time there we built a beautiful 10-lane indoor swimming pool. The program was exploding! By the time I left the Lawrence I had eight assistants and over 200 families involved within the program.

On his progress within the college coaching ranks …

I was presented with the opportunity to coach at Indiana University and of course I had trouble turning that down. I got back into collegiate coaching and recruiting student-athletes at IU and that was an awesome experience because I had some meaningful years under my belt and I knew what I was doing.

I had become a better coach; you never really learn how to coach, you just try to improve. I had confidence on deck and learned the recruiting system, the NCAA and the university structure. After being at Indiana for three years, Auburn was looking for an assistant and they called upon me.

On developing as a coach at Auburn …

Having the chance to coach at Auburn was an unbelievable opportunity. I knew that going down there and being around those people was going to be an extremely valuable experience. Being a part of a championship program, I viewed it as a career investment. With the expectations of winning conference and national championships each season, there is a certain attitude and belief within the program that the student-athletes thrive on. I will always be grateful for my time spent at Auburn.

On what he’s like outside of coaching …

I’m a garage guy. I like to build things. Home improvement and carpentry are definitely hobbies. When I was at Auburn I’d routinely make recruiting calls from my garage because I always had a project going on in there. I’ve also been to over 200 concerts and still go to shows when I have the chance.

My son, Jack, is going to play nose guard for a football team. I think he’s going to be good at pushing people around – he’s rough and a tumbler. I met my wonderful wife, Alyssa, in Bloomington. She’s a certified athletic trainer and she’s phenomenal at decorating cakes. I’m very blessed to have such a loving and supportive family.

I look forward to the opportunity to be part of the swimming program here."

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME速

Season in Review

Notre Dame extended its record winning streak with a 13th consecutive title at the 2009 BIG EAST Swimming and Diving Championships.

Season in Review Making a Scene With No. 13 First-year head coach Brian Barnes keeps Irish on track with 13th consecutive BIG EAST title

Shamrock Sweep …

Notre Dame picked up three dual meet wins at home in January while wrapping up the Shamrock Invitational. Victories over Michigan State (259.5-106.5), Denver (233-131) and West Virginia (265.5-97.5) moved Notre Dame's overall record to 6-2 on the season. The then 24th-ranked Irish won eight events on the final day of the invite.

Sixteen Irish swimmers and divers earned all-league accolades at the 2009 BIG EAST Conference Championships in Indianapolis, Ind.

The Irish put the finishing touches on their 13th consecutive BIG EAST title in February 2009 to extend the league's longest championship winning streak in any sport. In all, Notre Dame broke 12 school records at the four-day meet. Notre Dame went 6-3 during the dual meet portion of its 2008-09 schedule and received votes in the final CSCAA top-25 poll.

BIG EAST Hardware …

First-year head coach Brian Barnes was honored as the BIG EAST Coach of the Year and Caiming Xie took away the league's hardware as the top diving coach. Natalie Stitt was handed the meet's award as the top female diver after claiming the individual title off the 1- and 3-meter boards.

Irish at NCAAs …

Samantha Maxwell, Amywren Miller and Stitt represented the Irish at the NCAA Championships, scoring 19 points as the team finished 31st overall.

Under 1:00.00 …

Maxwell turned in a top-10 finish during the preliminary session of the 100 Breast at the NCAA Championships. Her 59.73 performance broke her own school record and was the first sub-1:00.00 mark recorded in program history.

Maxwell placed sixth in the finals with a 59.44

to reset the school record and earn her first AllAmerica accolade. She also earned Honorable Mention All-America nods in the 200 Breast.

Steaming at the Boiler-Make-It …

Colleen Fotsch, Kellyn Kuhlke, Maxwell and Miller teamed to set a school record in the 200 Medley Relay at Purdue's Boiler-Make-It Invitational. The foursome went 1:39.29 in a time-trial swim for an NCAA B-cut.

Amywren Revs It Up …

Miller went 22.37 in the 50 Free while finishing second in the event at the BIG EAST Championships. Miller's performance was the fastest in school history, breaking the record she shared with Carrie Nixon.

Maxing Out …

Maxwell was named the Division I Women's Counsilman Hunsaker National Collegiate Swimmer of the Week on Jan. 21. During Notre Dame’s dual meet at Louisville, Maxwell won the 100 Breast in 1:02.16, good for a pool record and NCAA B-cut, followed by her second win in the 200 Breast, which also broke a pool record and cleared the NCAA B-cut standard in 2:15.04. The sophomore picked up an assist by leading the 200 Medley Relay team to a win in 1:43.04 to notch another pool record.

Records Fall at Ohio State …

Maxwell cemented her name in the Notre Dame record books for the first time during the 2008-09 season at the Ohio State Invitational in December. Maxwell, who broke her own school record in the 100 Breast (1:01.68) less than 24 hours prior, went 2:12.46 in the 200 Breast on the final day of the event while leading the Irish to a third-place finish. Maxwell set school records in each of the breast events during the 2008 BIG EAST Conference Championships, both of which stood for less than 10 months.

Caiming Coaches Team U.S.A. …

Notre Dame head diving coach Caiming Xie helped coach the United States divers at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia, this past summer.

“I was excited and happy to represent the USA and to coach in the University Games. For me, it was a wonderful experience,” Caiming said.

“This was more about country and team support than before. Every team stays in the universal village, which was bigger than normal. Our team was very close and always high in spirits.

“The team gathered six medals with four individual and two team medals. I think the women's team award - with the Mexican team finishing first, China finishing second, and USA finishing third - was the most successful.

Russia, Ukraine and Canada finished close behind to make it a close event.”

Maxwell placed sixth in the finals with a 59.44 to reset the school record and earn her first AllAmerica accolade … since the inception of the women's program at Notre Dame, 22 individuals representing the Irish have earned All-American honors at the NCAAs … Carrie Nixon was 12-time honoree from 1999-2002 … she posted the highest finish of any Irish swimmer to compete in the NCAAs by placing fourth in the 50 Free in 2000 …

Jeanine Blatt and Betsy Shadley were the program's first All-Americans, claiming the honor in 1979 when the Irish competed at the Division III level.

The most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley Award has been presented each year since 1927 to the senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders. The awards, presented by the Faculty Board on Athletics, are named in honor of a 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of the Irish baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960.

In 1996, Jilen Siroky (’04), then just 15 years of age, represented the United States in the Atlanta games, finishing 15th in the 200m Breast. Siroky also was the 1996 U.S. champion in the 100 Breast.

In 2000, Christel Bouvron represented her native Singapore in the Sydney games, finishing 32nd in the 200m Fly and 36th in the 400 Free. Four years later, she became just the second current Notre Dame student-athlete ever – and first in 84 years – to take part

Rolfs Aquatic Center

Equipment necessary for the latest diving training techniques, including a trampoline, is located in the diving area.

Center diving well contains two one-meter boards and two three-meter boards.

The Irish swimming and diving teams compete in the state-of-the-art Rolfs Aquatic Center. After four years of varsity intercollegiate swimming competition in the Rockne Memorial Pool, the Notre Dame women’s swimming and diving program entered a new era in 1985, as they moved to the $4.5-million natatorium located in the Joyce Center.

Donated by brothers Thomas and Robert Rolf of West Bend, Wis., the Rolfs Aquatic Center provides Notre Dame with a modern, innovative facility on par with any other in the country. Ellerbe Architects and Engineers of Bloomington, Minn., the architects used in the planning of the Joyce Center, also were com-

missioned to design the 45,000-square-foot facility which houses a 50-meter Olympic pool (25 yards in width), spectator seating for 400 and support facilities.

The facility features two movable bulkheads to allow sections of the pool to be blocked off, allowing swimming competition and warm-up swimming to occur simultaneously. The design also allows recreational swimming, water polo, instructional swimming and other aquatic activities. Diving is accommodated with two one-meter boards and two three-meter boards.

Support functions housed in the center of the facility just below the spectator seating include men’s

The Rolfs Aquatic Center is home to Notre Dame women’s and men’s swimming and diving teams. The pool has two moveable bulkheads that allow the Irish the opportunity to train on either a long or short course.

and women’s locker rooms, men’s and women’s varsity locker rooms, and men’s and women’s staff locker rooms. Offices for the Notre Dame swimming staff, aquatics directors, and lifeguards are deckside and glass-fronted with a view of the pool.

Several deckside instructional areas are located around the pool and feature infrared heat lamps, designed to keep wet swimmers warm between events. The pool features a stainless steel racing gutter which is designed to absorb the bow waves of a swimmer, allowing faster swimming times.

Another instructional feature is the presence of two underwater windows which allow critiquing of a diver’s or swimmer’s underwater technique. The unique structural system consists of three trusses which span 120 feet, with the roof suspended below the trusses. In addition, the white exterior trusses The Rolfs Aquatic provide an interesting and athletic character to the building. The lighting system is designed to be adjusted from maximum brightness for television to nearly dark for dramatic synchronized swimming presentations.

The center was officially dedicated on November 13, 1985.

The BIG EAST Conference With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same.

The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship.

The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again succeeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference-foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth.

Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer.

On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16.

The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals.

BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons.

The BIG EAST has continued to produce studentathletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top-34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.

The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season.

In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger.

In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered.

The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student

athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably shows a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990.

In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes.

The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball.

More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned All-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

Notre Dame BIG EAST Titles Since joining the BIG EAST in 1995-96, Notre Dame has won more conference championships (101) than any other school in the league: Baseball (5) 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006

DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE:

(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

You are, if: • you are an enrolled student or graduate of the University.

(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

• you have ever participated in or are a member of any organization promoting Notre Dame’s athletics program. (The former Quarterback Club, The 3-Pt. Club, The Fast-Break Club, etc.)

• you have ever made financial contributions to the University of Notre Dame athletics department.

DO You may: • contact a current student-athlete regarding employment opportunities; however, no contact may be made without approval from the Compliance Office.

• provide a student-athlete, not their family and friends, an occasional (once a semester) meal at your home.

DON’T

• you have ever helped to arrange employment of or provided any benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes.

• you have ever been a season ticket holder in any sport.

• you have ever promoted the athletics programs at the University of Notre Dame.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional “representative of athletics interests” the individual retains that title for life. The University of Notre Dame is ultimately responsible for the behavior of all its athletics representatives in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics representative could result in the loss of eligibility for involved student-athletes (e.g. no participation in competitions) and/ or severe sanctions against the University (e.g. loss of scholarships, television and post-season bans).

CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE A student-athlete is any Notre Dame student who is a member of a varsity athletics team.

NCAA regulations apply to all student-athletes, not just those studentathletes who were recruited or who receive an athletics scholarship. *Note: NCAA regulations concerning enrolled student-athletes remain in effect throughout the entire year (including summer break). If a student-athlete has completed his/her final season of eligibility, all NCAA regulations must be adhered to until he/she graduates or leaves school.

You may not: • provide a currently enrolled student-athlete, their parents or friends any benefit or special arrangement without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

• pay for or arrange for payment of room, board or any type of transportation for a student-athlete or their family and friends.

• entertain student-athletes or their family and friends. (Exception: NCAA rules do permit institutional staff members and athletics representatives to provide student-athletes (not including their family and friends) with an occasional meal (defined as once a semester) provided the meal is at the staff member’s or athletic representative’s home and not at a restaurant.)

• use the name, picture or appearance of an enrolled student-athlete to advertise, recommend or promote sales or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Any use of a student-athlete’s name, picture or appearance must receive authorization from the Compliance Office.

• provide any payment of expense or loan of an automobile for a student-athlete to return home or to any other location.

• provide awards or gifts to a student-athlete for any reason. All awards provided to student-athletes must first be approved by the Compliance Office and meet all NCAA regulations.

• provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement. All speaking engagements must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office.

• allow a student-athlete, his/her relatives or friends to use your telephone to make free calls.

COMPLIANCE CONTINUED • continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors.

Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted so long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Notre Dame coaches.

• provide free or reduced cost lodging in your home to a studentathlete or a student-athlete’s family and friends.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE A prospective student-athlete is any student who has started classes for the ninth grade. Any student younger than ninth grade who receives any benefits from an institution or athletics representative would also become a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes. * Note: An individual is considered a prospect (whether or not they have signed a National Letter-of-Intent) until the first day of initial collegiate enrollment or the first day they report for practice, whichever is earliest. Therefore, all NCAA regulations concerning contact with a prospective student-athlete are applicable until that time.

THE DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A PROSPECTIVE STUDENTATHLETE: (The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

DO • forward information about prospective student-athletes to the appropriate coaching staff.

• have telephone contact with a prospect regarding permissible preenrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has graduated from high school and signed a National Letter of Intent.

• have a telephone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletics programs to an athletics department staff member/coach.

• view a prospect’s athletic contest at your own initiative provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect.

DON’T You may not: • write, e-mail or telephone a prospective student-athlete or his/her parents in an effort to recruit them to Notre Dame.

• become involved in making arrangements to provide money, financial aid or a benefit of any kind to a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends.

• make contact with a prospective student-athlete and his/her parents when the prospect is on-campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit.

• contact a prospect to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend the University.

• transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere).

• pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for a prospect.

• provide ANYTHING to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

The support of our alumni and friends is welcomed and appreciated.

We ask, however, that you also help to keep Notre Dame’s tradition of athletics integrity intact by following the NCAA regulations. Your assistance will help ensure that the eligibility of both prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes is protected and preserved. Your efforts to know and follow the NCAA legislation are greatly appreciated because violations could affect the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes and/or result in NCAA penalties being imposed on the University.

To that end, it should be our goal, as the best alumni and fans in the country, to preserve and protect each and every student-athlete’s eligibility. All NCAA legislation cannot be covered in a limited space such as this program. Therefore, any additional questions should be forwarded to the Compliance Office in the Department of Athletics.

Please remember to ask before you act!

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME History •

•

The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

Students •

Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

•

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

•

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

•

The University is organized into four colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.
