Something Smells at Notre Dame Green Pond

In June, I told you that Notre Dame Green Pond planned to dedicate its football stadium to Deacon Anthony P Koury. He served at that school for 43 years, and I can think of no one more deserving than he. When I was recently informed that Deacon Koury had declined this recognition, I thought that sounded just like him. He has always been quite humble. But my bullshit meter started going off.

I found out about the honor from Tony himself. He was quite delighted. Why would he suddenly change his mind, and on the eve of a major celebration? I'm told that several others with deeper pockets have made clear to Notre Dame's Board they want one of their own recognized.

Had Tony really wanted to decline the honor, the Board could and should have insisted.
