Swarbrick: ‘Could Not Disagree More’ With Pinkett’s Comments

(WSCR) In the wake of Allen Pinkett’s comments to The McNeil and Spiegel Show, where he said he believes Notre Dame needs “criminals” to be successful, the University has released a statement.

“Allen Pinkett’s suggestion that Notre Dame needs more ‘bad guys’ on its football team is nonsense,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a statement. “Of course, Allen does not speak for the University, but we could not disagree more with this observation.”

Pinkett serves as the radio analyst for the Fighting Irish.
