The t-shirts will still say "20XX National Champions" and won't feature the asterisk to indicate "of a lesser division than before". They're not just "a school" or "a football team", they're a concept. The academic and athletic donors give to Notre Dame because of what Notre Dame represents. They were "nothing to write home about"-to-terrible between 1956 and 1964, when they hired Ara Parseghian, but people still stuck by them. [/QUOTE]
