But it seems appropriate for this thread.

Notre Dame invited media to see the newly opened practice facility almost five years ago. I recorded Mike Brey's stand-up interview in the lobby with the gaggle of local media people. The entire interview is a good example of why it was fun to cover Brey and the program.

The link below will start the recording at the discussion of transfers. Much has changed since then, but in some ways not much has changed at all in terms of players' mindsets. Note how Brey discusses the players knowing that they are signing up for the academic challenge as well as the basketball challenge.

I don't doubt that Micah Shrewsberry makes a similar pitch. The academic rigor is part of the package, and it isn't for everyone. Nevertheless, it should not be a surprise to anyone who is at Notre Dame. In that respect, I don't know that academics makes the program more susceptible to transfers.
