NDFB is truly a "brand name" which needs to be protected, nurtured and appreciated. Because of Rockne's barnstorming train trips cross country, the golden age of sport in the 1920's, demographics and sociology, NDFB was able to attract a national fan base way out of proportion to its alumni base. This fact has further reinforced NDFB to account for the NBC contract, a position of strength with the BCS, countless license revenue opportunities and travel support the Bowls appreciate. It is significant as you point out that this revenue positively impacts the entire student and faculty population in a meaningful way. This is why the success of NDFB is so very important...it allows a small, private University the opportunity to combine Big Time academics and Big Time athletics. CW gets this, I pray he is able to continue to build the "NDFB Brand NAME." That ND is at the top of the list with the smallest enrollment is very noteworthy.
