[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida and MI. It is not even close.

The next tier would be Texas, ND

Vandy, UVA, USC, Berkeley, Northwestern, Duke, and Stanford disqualified for not being big sport schools. Not even remotely big sport schools.

Sorry.  Again, the OP said "rigorous" schools.  ND has all of these beat and was in top 10 football rankings.  Not second tier by any means.[/quote]

And your head coach still left for a better opportunity at LSU.[/quote]

LOL, yes, where players are recruited as long as they can sign their name...no academic requirements.  Makes Kelly's job easier.[/quote]

So not that different.[/quote]

Umm...OK?  Maybe lay off the next glass of wine...it's a work night.[/quote]

In Kelly’s conversation with Sports Illustrated, Notre Dame’s head coach pegged the average GPA of his incoming freshman class at 2.8 with a score of 24 on the ACT. [/quote]

So true!  The dormers actually believe they get smarter athletes than other schools.  ND will take the best players available more times than not. That they brag about how high the GPA is of their players is a testament to how easy it is to get a high grade at the school.  2.8 high school students with 24 ACT scores don’t suddenly score 3.4 GPA’s in college.  Remember this scandal a few years ago?:

Academic cheating.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still at it. [/quote]

Oh come on, you can't do better than an article from 2016?  LOL[/quote]

6 years ago isn’t ancient history. ND devotees are under the delusion that their program is smarter than everyone else’s.  You don’t have a top football program year after year by recruiting “smart” athletes. That they have a fairly recent history of cheating and getting caught  only proves that it’s been probably been going on there for many years.  Their bragging about having high GPA scores rings hollow with me.  Northwestern, on the other hand, is totally believable.  Football brought Notre Dane fame and helped to upgrade its profile. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you don’t cheat to get there. [/quote]
