Daniel ‘Rudy’ Ruettiger accused of fraud by SEC in sports drink case: Joliet native Daniel Ruettiger gained fame as the underdog — the undersized kid who made it onto the University of Notre Dame football team and inspired the 1993 movie, “Rudy.”
And more recently, when Ruettiger’s “Rudy” soft drink failed to compete with the big boys in the sports drink industry, Ruettiger also didn’t give up, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said.
Amusing timing given this movie is airing on a channel I get on Christmas Day.
