I guarantee that the hugest reason most kids apply to ND is because they love the camaraderie that football brings and the way the football players are mingled with the regular students. Does the nation give a shit about Georgetown's academic standards, they only know they don't play quality football if they play it at all. The only time you here from Georgetown is when their basketball team performs well.
