Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4250453, member: 3609"] While they may want ND badly, it's unlikely they'll get them. ND is against paying the players as employees and wants the players to be required to attend class. While there is a faction of fans on their hard-core board that wants ND to follow the SEC to the new paradigm, even they know and admit in their posts on the board that the administration Will. Not. Do. That. because it's the total antithesis of what Father Hesburgh made Notre Dame into, a school that has a football team instead of the other way around. Before Father Hesburgh, yeah, ND would go with the new paradigm in a heartbeat. After him, no way. Their administration has no problem with being a perennial favorite in "the academic league" and a goodly portion of their donors agree. [/QUOTE]
