Letter regarding the hiring of Knute Rockne as an assistant football coach

image number:

P0071708

description:

This letter is currently (2018) the only piece of evidence that suggests Indiana University was considering hiring legendary football coach Knute Rockne as an assistant coach in football. A search of letters and other documents from the time period was conducted with no results, including a check with the IU Office of the Registrar to see if Rockne had ever matriculated. The Notre Dame University Archives was also contacted and they as well could find no evidence.
