Hold it, are you inferring that the AD's from Duke and/or Notre Dame prevent their athletes from taking top-flight/tough courses? That the students are incapable of doing so? Or the AD's don't want them to not do well? Yet, UConn overcomes after all?
If so, you couldn't be further from the truth, at least in the case of the school I know, Notre Dame. My son and daughter were both at Notre Dame over the course of 8 different years. Both were good students who took tough course loads and I can tell you that several ND women's basketball players took numerous of these courses and excelled at them. I've seen several other ND athletes win post-graduate study awards while completing difficult double majors.
This is supposed to be a neutral board, as @Huskeynan has posted. So, please don't go posting shade about other schools unless you've got detailed evidence. to prove it. Geesh.
