Would occur right now without the football program right?
And that the annual revenue from football pales in comparison to the endowment?
I see no reason both can't exist and do in fact exist. We have top ten recruiting each and every year
I am guessing you are not an alumnus. Hence your built-in predisposition to give a shit about the academic side of ND
We are taking Navy to S Diego....if you are scared of Navy in S Diego that says a lot about you
We are playing fucking Syracuse in Yankee Stadium.....likely the 2nd or 3rd largest group of ND alumni are in NY/NJ region and some great football players come out of NJ
I disagree 100% with you. But that's just me. A proud double-domer who actually gives a shit about both the football team and the academics and all the other sports as well.
Odd how the very thing so many on here make fun of (ie football factories) is just what you are preaching about
