No, I don't think that makes ND relevant.

I think that ND is relevant because it has gone 73-17 recently, earned two playoff berths, and has won more games in this decade, during the past ten years and over the past forty years than all but five or six other schools.

I think ND is relevant because it was #3 in total revenues in the country last year as a football independent, according to EADA filings (even before the new NBC deal kicks in another $30-40 million a year).

I think ND is relevant because of its TV viewership numbers and nationwide fanbase.

I think ND is relevant because almost every game is televised by NBC or ABC.  It seems like ABC picks up just about every ND away game and puts it on prime time.

Why does ABC do that?  Not bad for an "irrelevant" program, no?

I think ND is relevant because if it gave up its independence, each and every conference would accept its application in about forty seconds.

If UConn went 73-17 and obtained two playoff berths,  I would consider it a relevant football program, wouldn't you?
