The Camaro dressed with all of the bells and whistles, but has a 6-cylinder under the hood or the big V8 with loud exhaust letting you know it’s about to leave you in the dust. Exhaust never works well with small engines.
ND either wants to shoot for Rose Bowl-type games or National titles. You can’t make a castle out of a stadium and then say you don’t want to be a football factory. If it’s about winning titles, then do what it takes to win the big games consistently and don’t look back.
But don’t try fooling your fans by dressing the program up as Alabama with a jumbrotron, “suites”, state of the art practice facility, under armour contract, etc., but put a team filled with mostly Stanford-type players on the field.
Pick one.
