[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting article about a top ND football recruit who had to withdraw his letter of intent to attend the school after he couldn’t get past admissions.   That didn’t stop Michigan, Vanderbilt or BC from offering him.  The kid ended up at Michigan.

“Admissions denied me for Notre Dame,” Hillman told The Athletic’s Austin Meek. “As you can see, I could have committed to any other school. Notre Dame had requirements I had to meet, and I didn’t meet it.”

“ Once, Hillman announced his release from his Letter of Intent, the offers rolled in. Michigan was joined in offering by Virginia, Boston College, Vanderbilt, UConn, Virginia Tech, LSU, Louisville and Cincinnati.”

ND sounds pretty selective to me. And seems Virginia, Vanderbilt, and BC don’t have as high standards for students. Interesting. [/quote]

Take football put of Notre Dame’s history and it’s just a nice Catholic University near a depressed city.

Agreed. Notre Dame seems to have forgotten that is was football that made that school famous and improved its academics,  and not the other way around.

Probably because ND doesn’t accept ASL as a foreign language. Such an outdated, discriminatory policy. [/quote][/quote]

Agreed.  I think the administration is forgetting what brought fame and academic prestige to their school in the first place.  Without football in its past, ND would not be anywhere near its quality today. [/quote]

Hahahaha nice try. It really doesn’t matter though does it?  ND has been and will continue to be top 20 with some of the brightest students in the country. You cannot deny that lol. And at least the expectations of its athletes are among the highest in the country as well and they still compete at a high level. Just amazing!![/quote][/quote]

Without football, Notre Dame would be just another Catholic university located outside a depressed city. [/quote]
