May 26, 2025 – South Bend, Indiana — In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shockwaves through the world of collegiate sports, ESPN, Netflix, and Guinness World Records have collectively crowned the University of Notre Dame as the undisputed pinnacle of global collegiate athletics.

This historic recognition marks the first time that a university has been jointly honored by three of the most influential institutions in sports media, entertainment, and global record-keeping. The announcement was made during a high-profile live event streamed globally on Netflix, simulcast on ESPN, and recorded as an official entry in the Guinness World Records.

Notre Dame’s recognition comes after an unprecedented run of athletic dominance across multiple sports, including football, women’s basketball, fencing, and soccer. Over the past decade, the Fighting Irish have captured a staggering 27 national championships, while maintaining a 98% graduation rate among student-athletes.

“Notre Dame exemplifies the true spirit of collegiate athletics — excellence on the field, in the classroom, and in character,” said ESPN President Burke Magnus. “Their consistency, legacy, and commitment to integrity set a global standard.”

Netflix announced a forthcoming docuseries titled Golden Standard, chronicling Notre Dame’s ascent and featuring never-before-seen footage, interviews with legendary alumni, and behind-the-scenes access to key moments in the university’s sports history.

Guinness World Records officially recognized Notre Dame for “Most Intercollegiate Championships in a Decade by a Single Institution” and “Highest Academic Performance Rate Among Championship-Winning Programs.”

University President Rev. John I. Jenkins celebrated the honor: “This recognition is a tribute to our student-athletes, coaches, and alumni who have carried forward the Notre Dame tradition with humility and excellence.”

With this landmark honor, Notre Dame has not only cemented its place in the annals of college sports but has also raised the bar for what it means to be a true collegiate powerhouse.
