I believe your second paragraph says it all Mike P. ND has to look the other way on admissions standards if they want to compete in football. It's the sad but true reality of what NCAA Div 1 sports has become and there's a lot of sad stories out there.
A top school like Duke can field a basketball team with guys who can read and write because it's only a dozen scholarships. But when you get to the lower level teams the're loaded with a lot of guys who struggle to meet admissions standards.
Now if you have to field a whole football team with kids who are told from the time they were 14 that they are big time players, You will be hard pressed to find guys who could cut it at ND and actually had the same sense of commitment in the classroom that they had on the gridiron.
