While I second the MIGHT, it seems likely that the perennial high-performing
non-conference schools (football equivalent of those mid-majors in the NCAA

Is apparently now moot. I saw a brief update on one of the worldwide leader's

Most of this article is about the history of college football deals
with network TV. The gist of the story is that ratings for Notre Dame
