How much of Notre Dame's "pride" in being able to play a "national schedule" every year is tied to the size of the TV contract? Has that always been the case or is it a more recent phenomena? Particularly when you think about the changes to the college athletics landscape which includes how much money schools can earn in football, the role TV/conference networks, and football recently becoming the driver of the money train.
