Rockne: Life after Graduation (1914-1918)

In this episode, we’ll explore Knute Rockne’s journey after his 1914 graduation from the University of Notre Dame, including his development as an assistant coach under Jesse Harper, his brief career in semiprofessional and early professional football, and his marriage to Bonnie Skiles. As college athletics faced uncertainty with America on the brink of World War I, Rockne found himself at a pivotal moment—rising to become Notre Dame’s head coach.

Hosted by Alex Painter, a Notre Dame fan and historian. You can listen to Alex’s Notre Dame football podcast, “Onward to Victory,” on any podcasting service.

This podcast is presented by The History Museum of South Bend, Indiana, and is possible through the generous sponsorship of Andy and Tina Nickle.
