Notre Dame is among the biggest spenders in college football.
Some rosters are over $50 million now, and USA Today Sports found that Notre Dame is one of the six teams that is at either at or above that figure. At least according to a survey of coaches and general managers
The others, in no particular order, are LSU, Texas Tech, Texas, Ohio State and Miami (FL).
The entire story, which breaks down what it costs to build a competitive roster and how the money is spent, is worth a read.
Can Notre Dame's heavy spending translate to success in the postseason? This season — and the next few — will answer that question.
