Northern school
Demographics
Academics
It's hilarious you think UMs football players are subject to academic standards to the degree ND's are. It's also hilarious you think a state school like UM with an enrollment of 50,000 has the same demographics as a Catholic school in northern Indiana with an enrollment of 10,000. This is why I said your takes are garbage. You're either not capable of going beyond even the most superficial of thought, or you're a disingenuous troll.

Like, you realize that the Big Ten suspended Harbaugh for 3 games IN THIS SAME SEASON for it? Whether the NCAA comes down on them, it's pretty obvious to any laymen they did it. I wouldn't want an ND championship that way.

And they still won. Then they lined up and beat Ohio State, Alabama and now Washington.

It doesn't matter if they cheated beforehand. The entire sec had bag men for decades. In the end, they are going to win it all and the NCAA isn't taking it away.

So how is this saying that it "blew up every ND excuse" if you're admitting they cheated as well? Also, none of those teams were as blatant about it as Michigan was.

The demographics of the country, my man.

And unlike Ohio State and the sec and Florida State, Michigan actually has academic standards.

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.

If BK had of recruited a better OC in 2017 we would have been ready for this down season. Better QBs (McCarthy) and WRs.

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.

Watch Washington score and hold before the half...

They come out and score on a kO return to strt the 2nd half and blow Michigan out from there...


I believe

Those aren't the demographics that people talk about when they talk about demographics related to extraordinarily white, middle upper class ND.

And no, when it comes to their football team, UM does not have academic standards. Even Harbaugh has acknowledged as much.

Sorry you lack the thinking skills to go beyond even the most basic thought, my man.
