It’s something to also consider

Among serious football schools ND is in the top five and the only SEC school in the top 20 is Texas. We probably are also on a lot of Boards of Directors of major corps. We are not maximizing our financial power in support of the team.

Alabama-Tuscaloosa's is at 1 billion.

ND's is at 19 billion, and that was after having lost 3 billion last year.

Notre Dame isn't hurting for money.

Alabama: 11 K / year for in-state
Notre Dame: almost 60 K / year

ND's pulling in more tuition bucks, for certain.

More than half the 39k students pay $30k/year

Alabama is pulling in far more tuition.

The UA system is actually quite generous with grants and scholarships, even to out of state students, and especially if you're considered a "real" person of color (Black or Hispanic). If you're in that category, it's all but impossible not to get some grant and / or scholarship money directly from the school.

Those at Alabama from out of state likely are paying a higher percentage of tuition than the in-staters.

We saw same thing at University of Florida. Out of state tuition was 3X the instate tuition and in state students were 3X in population. So essentially the out of staters were contributing the same total tuition $$$ as the instaters. It was intentional.

Any uni has on its books. Unis use student loans as the collateral for all that useless campus construction. It's to their benefit to force undergrads to take in debt.

As with many unis, they'll give a "generous" financial aid package freshman year, which disappears the following years bc they're replaced with loans. Also, try graduating in four years. Unis have made it far more difficult to get out in four.

Maybe Bama is bucking the trend, but I'd have to see how much debt their students are carrying to see if that's true. My hunch is that they're not

Thats 22,600 paying the OOS tuition which is now over $30k.

Just sayin'...

Than in state. It's a scam directed at stupid teenagers that equate football prowess with high academic quality. And taxpayers subsidize that bullshit at nearly $2 Trillion in aggresgate student loan debt..

It’s impossible? Asking for a friend.

If someone takes the correct courses, works hard, and graduates, he's going to be as good as any graduate from Harvard when he leaves.

But, like any state school, admissions standards for in-state kids is going to be lower, so the bottom 20% of UA-Tuscaloosa will be worse than the bottom 20% of Harvard.

At my institute, in one of the classes, there were grad students who came from Harvard, Yale, and UA-Tuscaloosa. They were all about the same in terms of quality of knowledge and work ethic, and all three did a fine job as grad students.

in your particular field. That’s why after a handful of years the college education stuff goes to the bottom of the resume.

I get a kick out of the folks here who act like Notre Dame is the only place to get a good education and to be successful and that you can’t possibly do that at a Big 10, PAC 12 or SEC school. Talk about the ultimate snob behavior.

That’s the issue in my view.

Many of these schools had huge booster networks set up making then illegal payments to players. When NIL came to pass, the framework was already there to pay players over and above their actual NIL value with the payments essentially laundered now. Those schools actively encourage it without any care or input as to academic advancement.

I don’t believe ND is going to engage in that fashion and therefore will lag in across the board NIL for marginal NIL value players along with requiring actual degree progress.

Believe ND, despite having considerable legitimate NIL value and funds available, will ultimately lag even further than pre-NIL.

Is ND as willing to bend the rules as others are?

No, ND isn’t. As it should be.

the lessons the school seeks to teach, is a significant disadvantage.

Queue the Kim Dunbar or manager writing paper for an athlete scandal. But in these cases, the school was unaware at the time, and self reported as soon as it knew. They will behave the same way again. It is part of our identity.

it should be on there.

ND is doing it right and billionaires are intimately involved.
