<p>Related to the comments on the ability to get the courses you want: note that Jimmy Clausen, as a junior, is just 15 credits shy of graduating, and is on track to graduate this Spring. I think you would be hard pressed to find athletes at Michigan or any other D1 school who are kept so on track from an academic perspective. That’s just one example. Notre Dame is the “poster child” for high percentages of students who graduate in four years, and many, if not most, of them with double majors.</p>
