Every year, we have to hear about Navy player's rugged class schedules. ND player's schedules are never brought up. If the numbnut announcers looked carefully at that schedule they showed, the guy had two substantive classes in the morning and the rest was squadron time, working out, treatment, football practic, etc.???? Those two courses looked difficult, but those were the only two academic classes listed. For once, I'd love to hear an announcer discuss the typical schedule for ND players, especially those that are in very challenging majors.

Why don't you actually research instead of believing an announcer at a game?

ND approaches the Ivies in % of elite students, > than the academies. But: West Point football players are representative whereas NDs' are not...major difference. West Point football players still need to be near the median SAT, GPA, etc.

Army football players have an extra hard schedule. Standard cadet training is rigorous, complex, and time consuming. Studies. And football on top of that.

Ex-West Pointers often told me how much they respected their football players. Managing all that was tough. Not to take anything away from Notre Dame football players, but it really is an entirely different context...as I find it remarkable the academies can still feature competitive enough teams.
