Notre Dame is an academic school and even the athletes are expected to be real students with real majors not "sports management" like you see at alot of programs like Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State etc. You can't just be good at football to get into schools like Notre Dame and Standford.
You can't put Notre Dame on the level of Stanford, or even in the same sentence. Stanford has an acceptance rate of 4% and is ranked 4th by US News and World Report. Norte Dame is ranked 18th and has an acceptance rate of 12%. Notre Dame is closer to UCLA (ranked 15th, with an acceptance rate of 9%), Michigan (ranked 21) and Texas (ranked 30th) than it is Stanford. And it benefits from all the Catholic high schools promoting students going there. I don't think "it is probably the hardest to recruit for."
