    For Immediate Release: November 9, 2018 Contact: Al Carbone (203) 671-4421 Follow us on Twitter @WalterCampFF Former Notre Dame Standout and Media Personality Mike Golic Named Walter Camp Man of the Year Recipient NEW HAVEN, CT – Former University of Notre Dame standout and current award-winning media personality Mike Golic is the recipient of the Walter Camp Football Foundation’s 2018 “Man of the Year” award. The Walter Camp “Man of the Year” award honors an individual who has been closely associated with the game of football as a player, coach or close attendant to the game. He must have attained a measure of success and been a leader in his chosen profession. He must have contributed to the public service for the benefit of his community, country and his fellow man. He must have an impeccable reputation for integrity and must be dedicated to our American Heritage and the philosophy of Walter Camp. Golic joins a distinguished list of former “Man of the Year” winners, including Roger Staubach (Navy), Gale Sayers (Kansas), Dick Butkus (Illinois), John Elway (Stanford), Jerome Bettis (Notre Dame), and last year’s recipient Calvin Johnson (Georgia Tech). “We are thrilled to have Mike Golic as our Man of the Year,” Foundation President Mike Madera said. “Not only has Mike had great success on the football field and in the broadcast booth, but he is a champion off the field as well. His work in the community is well-documented. We feel Mike is a great representation of what the Foundation stands for.” A native of Willowick, Ohio, Golic graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1985 as a finance and management major.

    NOTRE DAME WELCOME TO NOTRE DAME The interior of the golden-domed Main Building on the Notre Dame campus was closed for the 1997-99 academic years as it underwent a renovation. The facility was rededicated in ceremonies in August of ’99. It also underwent a $5 million exterior renovation, which included the cleaning and repair of the 4.2 million bricks of the facility, in 1996. The University of Notre Dame decided, however, was precisely the type of institution Notre Dame would become. How could this small Midwestern school without endowment and without ranks of well-to-do alumni hope to compete with firmly established private universities and public-sup- ported state institutions? As in Sorin’s day, the fact that the University pursued this lofty and ambitious vision of its future was testimony to the faith of its leaders — leaders such as Father John Zahm, C.S.C. As Schlereth describes it: “Zahm… envisioned Notre Dame as potentially ‘the intellectual center of the American West’; an institu- tion with large undergraduate, graduate, and profes- sional schools equipped with laboratories, libraries, and research facilities; Notre Dame should strive to become the University that its charter claimed it was.” Zahm was not without evidence to support his faith in Notre Dame’s potential.

  • John Madden, Hall of Fame Football Coach
    "I would have all of my Offensive Lineman wrestle if I could." - John Madden, Hall of Fame Football Coach "Well-respected by coaches and teammates for his tough, aggressive nature (comes from his prep wrestling background)" - NFL Draft Scout on Alex Stepanovich "One of the messages Denney hopes to relay to the Valley high school coaches and athletes is that wrestling is the perfect complement to football. While football is in its offseason, wrestling provides the perfect opportunity for the athletes to remain active, while working on their agility and conditioning, Denney said. Shawhan can attest to Denney’s theory, also having an extensive gridiron background. Along with playing semi-pro football, Shawhan also has years of being an assistant football coach throughout the Rio Grande Valley (Mission High, Harlingen High, PSJA High, McAllen Memorial and McHi). "In Texas, everyone knows that high school football is king," Denney said. "I’m telling you, though, Texas is catching up in wrestling. And a lot of the football coaches are realizing how much wrestling can help their football team. And believe me, that’s the truth. I know it firsthand. You have to remember when I started out I was a football coach in high school, and I would go to the wrestling team and get everyone that could to sign up for my football team." - By Wade Baker,The McAllen Monitor MCAllen, Texas. "My football coach told me, 'You better get in wrestling or I'll beat you up,'" -- Tim Lee, Texas High School All-American Lee said that wrestling helps him on the football field because he knows he has to stay low.
