Notre Dame fans haven't yet realized that their arrogance and wanting to avoid the Big Ten has helped them be largely irrelevant the past 10-15 seasons. Other than a smoke and mirrors championship appearance where they were waxed, they've been a second rate program in recent seasons.
They can have their 'national' status by affiliating with the ACC... except they haven't really been national for several years. No one is beating down their door to go to Notre Dame now.
ND is doing just fine under Kelly. He is 45-20 at ND. ND's recruiting rankings are consistently in the top ten. Kelly had them 12-0 and in the championship game in 2012.
ND gave a glimpse of next year's team by beating LSU in the Music City Bowl a few weeks ago. My prediction? Probably 10-2 next season.
None of ND's recent past has anything to do with arrogance (which I don't support) or avoiding the Big Ten (which I do).
