“Notre Dame hasn’t been relevant for 20 years and hasn’t been a recruiting powerhouse for a generation. Sportswriters and media types are going to have to realize that about 20-25 schools are ahead of the Irish on the recruiting front and on field performance.”

Yep. The Irish have the same problem that the Military academies, Northwestern, Stanford, and a few other quality schools have: Their players have to attend the school and pass.

I’m a Buckeye fan, and I’d be willing to bet that it’s much, MUCH easier to get a kid through some stupid program at OSU than it is to get a kid through Notre Dame.

ND doesn't deserve to be on this list. The only people who believe it are graduates and those paid to promote the idea at the university. While it is true that ND doesn't have the fluff majors that many football powers have, there are public universities that also are in the same class. One thing most of them share is mediocrity in football.....
