What's this?

Not exactly. Here is Father Malloy's actual quote


Here is the quote from Father Malloy when ND turned down the Big Ten in 1999:

''Just as the Universities of Michigan or Wisconsin or Illinois have core identities as the flagship institutions of their states, so Notre Dame has a core identity, and at that core are these characteristics: Catholic, private, independent. As a Catholic university with a national constituency, we believe independence continues to be our best way forward.''

Nothing in that quote has changed.
