He should pick ND for a variety of reasons. To be honest, as much as I hate Michigan, I see ND and Michigan as the best two options for him. ND offers the most opportunity to play and a step up in academics. Michigan is close to home and has solid academics. I think ND offers early playing time, academics, proximity, brand, and a rare opportunity to take the reins at a playoff program. What QB wouldn't want ND's OL, RB's, future WR's, and their SEC level defense bailing out all their mistakes all the while starring on NBC every Saturday, playing for a the most prestigious brand in all of college sports, while earning an elite degree? You'd have to be insane or completely undersold.
