Maybe the raging pisser of three years of skunky round here finally has ND opening up the check book

Northern school
Demographics
Academics
I don't think most fans here ever believed those excuses. Although some ND fans did because it avoided having to criticize the administration/athletic department.

ND has always been linked to Michigan and OSU as a big boy from the north. There are no academic standards anywhere anymore. Most prospects are available to us.
Very few football players would be admitted if they were not football players. The issue is whether they have to go to class, etc., or not, once at ND. But I agree that the academic standards excuse was always false and propaganda.

I didn’t realize Washington was so RB dependent on offense because they keep going to back to a kid who can barely walk instead of throw to their 15 NFL WRs.

They don't seem to trust their Joe Moore Award O-line to pass protect, either.

Yes, they fo go to class—-they are required. When I was a student at ND, I had several players in my classes. Maybe you shouldn’t comment rather than just make things up when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Pffft. With a million tutors
My cousin was on the golf team (lol) at North Dakota State and even they got a ton of academic help.

I'm guessing Notre Dame keeps a close eye on guys unless and until they prove otherwise?

Okay...I've taught athletes at ND. I know that they go to class. I was talking about college athletes in general, not at ND. The issue is whether college athletes, at any given school, have to attend class, not whether being an athlete helps them get admitted.

Because they did it being a northern school in a declining demographic in the country with guys who actually go to class. They haven't been stealing signs since like game 7.

If they can do it, so can ND.

They cheated their way through two plus years of the weakest schedule any P5 power could have dreamt of to get the weakest Bama team in twenty years and Washington,… and got away with it.

I’m not sure where you’re seeing ND parallels here,… you must be trolling

I’m just saying we’re not like an Ivy or something. We have access to most recruits hence our very good recruiting the past decade. Which is a good thing.
