When in class or just hanging out around campus, was it commonplace to see the players socializing and interacting with non-athlete students? This rarely occurred where I went to school. When you did see a player they only interacted with fellow student athletes. I have always wondered this since ND is a much smaller and tighter knit school than where I attended. Thanks for your input.
