Message: [QUOTE="liljoe, post: 50784, member: 1071"] I've always kind of wondered what demographic out there makes Notre Dame the golden goose of college football. When we're they last truly relevant? Growing up, kids who would never step foot on that campus wore Notre Dame shirts, hats, sweatshirts. I just don't see it anymore. The school I work at had sports day recently. Not one piece of Notre Dame clothing. In all this conference expansion, the big prize is Notre Dame. How many more years until that ceases to be the case. I have to think that their fame will die with the baby boomers. I just don't see a next generation of Notre Dame fans. I have to imagine that Notre Dame sees this possibility as well. Someday they aren't going to get the big tv contract. I have to imagine that someday their independence will be worthless. Does that force them to be pro-active at some point? [/QUOTE]
