notre dame will never be a national powerhouse for one reason: defense. as in, they don't have one.
how many ND defensive players have been drafted in the last 5 years?
you give a blue-chip linebacker the choice of USC or ND and see how fast they run to southern cali. oh wait, they won't get into ND anyway due to the academic requirements.

USC accepts 21.9% of applicants and Note Dame accepts 26.7%
