Rudy Ruettiger wanted to play football at Notre Dame as a kid and while he was in high school and he had always been told that he couldn't do it at all. When he was wanting to sign up to check out Notre Dame he was told that he was not good enough so he gave up for a while and he found a way to get into Notre Dame by going to Holy Cross College so he could have good enough grades to get into Notre Dame
