The word notorious can mean famous.

Some of yall need to Google the definition of notorious.
It is commonly used to mean just famous, without the bad connotation
Seems like the OP could've been more clear.

Hubert Humphrey received his Master's Degree from LSU. Does that count?

Dardar probably has the longest prison sentence
This is on his wikipedia page
quote:
During the 1990 legal proceedings, his defense attorney said that Dardar had an IQ of 71 and that he had scored a 3 on the ACT, a college admissions test on which a 36 is the maximum score. There were no minimum college entrance requirements for athletes when Dardar was admitted to LSU.

The English language is fluid. Can't really call anyone stupid for not using the "correct" form of the word for this thread
Again the OP could've been more clear.

Notorius: famous or well known, typically for some bad quality or deed.
The youth don't know what it means because they built their vocabulary by listening to rappers misuse words.
