There's this narrative out there that anytime ND gets blown out by a superior team, is behind strategically on some policy other programs are capitalizing on, or loses out on a recruit, a transfer, a coach, etc. that ND is missing out because of their academic restrictions/requirements (or some other self handicap), this message/narrative basically absolves ND of responsibility when other programs are beating them.
Is it possible that ND is just getting beaten because of their own incompetence? ND recruits/offers as many of the top 100 as the other schools out there, they are just getting out-budgeted or out-strategized or just not making as compelling a case as the other programs out there when it comes to attracting the game's best talent right now.
