Stewart Mandel has some HOT SPORTS TAKES, but does drop this interesting tidbit:

Notre Dame’s pristine academics image was already a bit of a façade. Recruiters for other schools have long been bewildered by just how low the program’s admissions bar appears to be compared with other prestigious private-school teams like Stanford, Northwestern and Vanderbilt. The school that for decades refused to play in bowl games and still refrains from using the term “redshirt” continues to portray an idealized version of itself as a bastion of athletic virtue while more closely resembling a traditional football factory.
