Miami's biggest game in 10 years was the game earlier this year against ND.
But beyond that, ND no longer has an exclusive media contract. It doesn't have a state backing it up. It doesn't have 50,000 students. Etc.
So, have to play the cards ND has and play them as well as we can. As much as I hated Swarbrick, I think he was effective at the back room stuff. Pete, less so. But, that's not to say he's bad at his job.

ND doesn't have a lot of leverage. It's a huge brand, and its leverage is its draw.
