ND would have selection bias toward players making a 40 year decision, kids with a lot of options outside football like ND and vice-versa.

Also, the ND culture may also place football at a lower relative priority.

However, Stanford would in theory would be even more subject to the above, but Harbaugh changed that and Shaw has continued it.

Somehow, they get a bunch of guys named Cody, Zach, Evan, Graham, Colby, etc to play with their hair on fire and beat ND's ass.
