Cole Kmet. Julian Love. Ian Book. Three Notre Dame teammates. One question will always linger: what if NIL existed when they played at ND?

Cole was a Mackey watch-list tight end. Julian was a Thorpe Award finalist. Ian went to a Super Bowl. They all left South Bend just before the money changed everything.

Now they're back together — talking about the program that made them, the era they missed, and what they'd tell the next wave of Irish players walking through the door. Oh, and if ketchup belongs on a bratwurst ... sorry Cole. 

The Last Class Before NIL.
