And to anyone who is going to chime in with, "Football is what created Notre Dame," the University long ago established its academic cred. They aren't going to get rid of the football program and when the NCAA starts paying players, there will be a group of schools like ND that will refuse to do it. I will enjoy that clear delineation between the schools with some integrity and the vast majority without it. I also suspect we will see the sort of football many of us grew up loving. We might even see a fullback.
