You pointed out two teams more deserving, in your opinion, which really doesn't mean much since you are not part of the committee.

Within the last 20 years, Notre Dame has added over 20K seats to its Stadium and sold out every game for 46 years until the last game of 2019.  I will admit that the performance on the field has not lived up to expectations but even still, since 2000, ND has been to 16 bowl games (7 of which are part of the New Year's Six) and has finished the season ranked in the Top Twenty 11 times.  Notre Dame being a part of two conferences is a benefit to those conferences as well, otherwise the Big East and ACC would not invite them for partial membership.  I don't care about South Bend and I am over 30 years old.  You don't think young people root for ND or want to go there?  You're wrong.

Brian Kelly was wrong to have required Declan Sullivan to be on that scaffold that day.  It was a tragic accident.  Do you have any proof of the allegation that there were private payoffs after Declan Sullivan's death. All I know is that ND settled a suit with the State of Indiana for like 40 K for violations of safety regulations, as they should have.  My understanding is that the Sullivan family did not seek any compensation for the death of Declan nor have they received any.  The University has made payments to a memorial fund in Declan's honor, as have I.  That's not a "private payoff".
