From the David Long story: "the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends is the only school in the country where you can get a first class education matched with a football heavy environment. I know you can argue multiple schools in that argument but at the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends, it's just a different approach from anything else I've seen."

And just change "first" to "world" and add "excellence in everything" with "world class research institution" and "worst weather is better than the best weather week in So Bend," and you have the Farm.

London Times HES: Stanford, #3; Notre Dame, #108
U. S. News & WR:  Stanford, #4; Notre Dame, #18
Shanghai Ranking; Stanford, #2; Notre Dame between #200 and #300
World University Rankings; Stanford #3; Notre Dame, #195
Payscale (highest salary); Stanford #7; Notre Dame #42 (they're not even the highest paying catholic school, which is SCU at #21.  Go Broncos...)
