"Allen Pinkett's suggestion that Notre Dame needs more 'bad guys' on its football team is nonsense," Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a statement. "Of course, Allen does not speak for the University, but we could not disagree more with this observation."
Pinkett serves as the radio analyst for the Fighting Irish.
