It must be hard as a highly paid athlete to deal with such shabby facilities**

The lounge, Barber Shop and relaxation room stood out in that I thought things like that used to be against the rules if it was off limits to the general student population. That's what stopped Athletic Dorms and Cafeterias.

1. They don't really need practice facilities considering how bad their schedule is.

2. I don't think there is anything here that's a real outlier. I think in today's CFB world, glitz of a practice facility doesn't really move the needle as much as the lack of having something like an IPF can be a red flag. Players just want to be ensure that their development won't be actively hindered due to a lack of facilities

would Notre Dame really be relevant in a reasonable powerhouse football conversation today were it not for the media continuing to prop them up?

Yea they were one of the four best teams last year. Look how many top draft picks they had plus CJ Carr. Should Bama have been in the playoffs ? No

Teams up north have to have a good indoor facility due to the weather. Just so much snow you practice in and ND gets its share off the lake. That outdoor practice field is heated as well.

No one can touch the irish's cupcake schedule. Notice they didn't schedule the huskies of NIU this year. Fly Navy!

you are correct, and I should have clarified a little more............were it not for ESPN and the media always propping ND up through the years, would they be relevant today?

MY viewpoint as a distant observer is that they have had many a mediocre year, and still swooned over as if they were a legit contender.....or their legacy history has given them breaks in down years

They aren’t mediocre now. They were loaded last year and again this year.

No other way to describe that except as "Impressive"!! I like the Barber Shop and the full body massage chairs. Only thing they need now is some hot trainer babes to oil them up real good.

Impressive but damn that’s a lot for repeated chokes. Much rather have nothing with no chokes.
