The no transfer rule is complete horseshit and the university would be wise to scrap that policy.
Actually your no transfer post is complete horseshit.
How could the univerisity scrap a policy that doesn't exist?
Do you have any familiarity with ND's mission statement, academic goals, curriculum, overall graduation rate? It doesn't sound so from your post. Here are a couple of links on ND's First Year of Studies:

Do you follow ND football?
Your post tends to indicate you don't.
Do the names Bobby Burger, Tom Bemenderfer, Larry Moriarty and Dan Ruettiger ring any bells?
Notre Dame accepts transfers but they don't accept a lot. ND doesn't accept those that can't achieve the NCAA mimimum requirements for core courses, GPA, and Test Score. Nor those that spend two years in Community College taking high school remedial courses so they can get into college.
Those accepted as transfers have successfully taken courses and attained grades eslewhere to demonstrate to ND Admissions that they are capable to compete in the ND Academic environment and can be successful in their academic endeavors while being integrated into the ND Student Body. A Student Body that has a average SAT score of something like 1350 (for two parts not three) and whose students were in the Top 5 % of their graduating class. Keep in mind since ND doesn't have Underwater Basket Weaving majors there is no place to "park" a Katzenmoyer type student athlete who goes through the motion of being a student. At ND Katzenmoyer wouldn't get to take 3 cake classes his Senior Summer to "get" eligible (much less gets "A"s in all of them). Nor would he then be allowed to not attend any classes his senior year while staying eligible. That kind of student would flunk out their first semester so why offer them a scholarship in the first place?
