The university athletics department said Friday that moments of silence will be observed before home events in each of Notre Dame's 26 varsity sports.

It also says commemorative signage for each Notre Dame home athletic venue will be created in the near future.

The official Notre Dame athletics web site, www.und.com, will beginning Sunday feature a variety of content related to Hesburgh's connection with athletics, including video, print and still photo elements.
