A message from the students of Notre Dame

This is the commercial they will play during the BCS NCG. I didn't see an embed option.

These bragging rights mean so much more when we are also ranked #1 on the field.

I don't know how to respond to that? What do you mean why? It's a commercial for the NCG representing that the Notre Dame football team is number one, and the Notre Dame student-athlete graduation rate is also number one in the country. Those are students in the commercial representing Notre Dame which will then be shown to the entire country tuning into the game....

Filmed starring exclusively students. They sent out an email asking for people to go to the stadium to film this commercial. I passed because the day was an absolute s*** show, pouring rain and miserable.

Email they sent out

Notre Dame students -
Want to be a part of the most watched cable broadcast in history? That’s right – over 30 million viewers. The University is producing its 30-second institutional message to air during the BCS National Championship Game.
And it will feature you.
Professional crews, along with staff from the University Communications department, will be videotaping this Friday, December 7. The spot calls for multiple shots of students congregating at Notre Dame Stadium.
We’re asking students to arrive at the Rockne Gate of the stadium at 4:00 p.m. on Friday (December 7). This is the gate with the entrance to the tunnel that’s directly across from the library. The first 600 students will be allowed in the stadium, where they will play a crucial role in communicating the message of the spot. We anticipate the videotaping to be complete by 5:30 p.m.
While only 600 will be a part of the filming inside the stadium, the remaining students who arrive may be featured in exterior shots outside the stadium.
This is your chance to show your enthusiasm for your university and the #1 football team in the land! It's time to tell the world, "Here come the Irish!"
