Idk man that's hard to argue. With no doubt I believe ND is that type of program like UCONN... that I agree. But I just have too many friends who went to schools they never set foot back on campus in well over a decade nor care for the sports teams etc. It's really unique to have programs like UCONN and NOTRE DAME where they foster not only the development of their athletic skills but they also foster an environment where they can turn a talented 18 ur old into a fantastic woman with values, compassion and and understanding what came before them and what is to follow them...and the fan support? Come on really? What's the average attendance for a women's bball game? How many places are still stuck trying to get just a 1000 people to games? I'm sorry but East Bumble State University with their averages of 200 fans doesn't come close to the 9000 at UCONN, the 16000 at South Carolina, and the other hand full of great programs that attract THOUSANDS of fans.
I just don't think you find this everywhere
