Dear ND Fans:

Here's a stat from Forbes.com:

The most valuable college football franchise is Notre Dame.  This should come as no surprise.

What might surprise some is this stat:

Notre Dame football contributed $23.2 million dollars to support Academic Programs.  The college which returned the second most money was Michigan, with $2,4 million.  Notre Dame's amount is greater than Michigan and the next 10 colleges COMBINED.
