They are obviously not getting a good Return on Investment then...

This tells me two things I already knew... the south takes it way serial........ like Al Gore super serial....

and ND recruits the whole country from sea to shining sea in a way no other school really does... the success of that is debatable by some haters, but no other school goes from coast to coast like ND... and that costs money.

Damn, Tennessee needs to get some better recruiters. As BeryIrish said, they are getting a poor return on that investment...except in women's basketball. Glad to see ND in the top 3. ND should be in the top, considering that not every talented local kid qualifies academically and the fact that they consistently recruit from coast to coast. Marquette at #11 was also a pretty big surprise.

Their rowing team and men's tennis team won their league championships in 2010. That counts for something!
