Voting is underway for the 2024 Class of the College Football Hall of Fame, hosted (perhaps fittingly) in South Bend, Indiana on the campus of Notre Dame. Though I would argue Notre Dame’s national relevance has long-passed, few teams were able to capture the imagination, attention, and adoration that the Irish did in the sport’s nascent days — particularly among working class immigrants and first-gen Americans. Without decades of a powerhouse Notre Dame in the industrial, populous, highly Catholic North, I don’t think you get college football’s popularity of 2023. So, begrudgingly, we’ll let you have Rudy — but we’ll keep the hardware and money down here, thanks.
