[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame at 18, tied with Columbia and only one behind Cornell.

Notre Dame is Ivy level. [/quote]

Almost, but not quite![/quote]

Notre Dame would never want to join the Ivy League anyway! It is happy to be ranked right there and fully independent to print football $$!

The Ivy League isn't all it is cracked up to be. Georgetown wouldn't even give up its basketball TV $$ to join.

Remember that the ancient 8 really is just an old but now low-level athletic conference![/quote]

T[b]his!  A top school that has so much more to offer than the stuffy ivies.  Love it.[/quote][/b]

No one would choose Notre Dame over an Ivy with the exception of someone who values a Catholic education.

I'm not a ND grad and have to think some people would absolutely choose ND over an Ivy, especially beyond HYP. It is one of those schools that many people really do grow up dreaming about attending from a young age. ND also has more $$ than half of the Ivy League (only Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Penn have larger endowments), which doesn't hurt and will continue to help in the future.

Those of you who live in high-end areas must see kids wearing ND stuff! Having moved to the MD suburbs after being in Palo Alto and Mountain View, CA for most of the last decade, I've seen a lot of ND gear on both coasts.

Will the 0-2 football start hurt applications :-)? [/quote]

I never see any.  I must not be in a "high-end" enough area.[/quote]

the Chevy Chase neighborhoods surrounding Blessed Sacrament / CCC have some car stickers.

I was shocked to see an ND badge on the car of our newest neighbor in CCDC because we're outside the orbit (tentacles?) of Blessed Sacrament.  I worry we're getting more Repube in 20015, I've definitely noticed an uptick as the area has grown so much more expensive compared to its ACLU / journalist / Jewish / non-profit days.  [/quote]

Are you serious?  You think a ND sticker on a car means they are republican?  You don't get out much.[/quote]

+1 PP maybe hyper-focused on one notorious conservative who went there, but hundreds of thousands of liberals went there too.  (P.S. half of U.S. Catholics are Democrats).[/quote]
