Purdue

Researchers from Purdue University are travelling to a remote island group in the Pacific Ocean to investigate possible remnants of Amelia Earhart's aircraft. The aviator vanished during her 1937 attempt to fly around the world, and her disappearance remains one of aviation's great mysteries. The expedition has drawn attention as it could finally shed light on what happened to her plane.

Notre Dame defeated Purdue and, in the postgame celebrations, broke the Shillelagh Trophy awarded to the winner of the long-running rivalry. Photos and clips of the damaged trophy have circulated among college football fans, drawing amused reactions about the clumsy handling of a trophy with decades of history between the two programs.
