Indeed it does. I didn’t imply otherwise. The story points out the highest amount spent on scholarships in the ACC. That seems significant. All I did was mention what the article says. The OP, in fact, asks if recent struggles have impacted spirit. Others suggest it may have. I don’t know. As for academics, what I was trying to say was ND and Duke, as well as places like Vandy and Stanford outside the ACC, have success despite rigorous admissions standards. BC will have to find a way to do so as well.
