Comparing Notre Dame to Billy & Mary?


What I've read and heard from Notre Dame is that they'll continue to play football at a high level but aren't willing to give up their football independence. Notre Dame realizes that doing so will make it very difficult to make the 4 team playoffs and win national championships.

I don't see Notre Dame dropping down to the FCS level. That will never happen. I'm confident the Power 5 will allow them to remain a football independent. It's probably very likely that the P-5 playoff selection committee will favor conference champions over Notre Dame. Notre Dame seems to be okay with this. Comparing Notre Dame football to William and Mary football is like comparing William and Mary to Virginia State or Chowan University. Completely different league and different circumstances.
