Notre Dame hasn't been getting the recruits they have wanted do to academic standards, and heart alone isn't going to win you a Championship when you play with the big boys, maybe if your SIU and you play with the Mid Majors it might.

What has NOTRE DAME done in the last 10 years anyways? NOTHING. Notre Dame is a bunch of spoonfed athletes that haven't had to EARN anything. To play basketball at SIU, you have to EARN your way on the team, you have to play 1 on 1 against someone at your position until Lowery says STOP. He had Tatem going against Young until they were almost HOSPITALIZED. THEY EARNED team respect. They earned their coaches respect.
Like people respected Brady Quinn, all he cared about was his NFL contract. Trust me, I know ALOT about Notre Dame, I live in their biggest alumni area and have been to many games. Notre Dame was built on CASH, not on anything you are describing. Go watch Rudy again and believe that is actually what happened.
