Notre Dame to EPL soccer on this board is equated to Liverpool.

While they've won the UCL in recent memory (and it was one hell of a match), they haven't won the league since the season that started in '89.
Indeed

I just couldn't abide having Spuds placed into a circle of excellence, be it former or modern.

Its difficult to see how clubs that employ some level of financial risk management will compete for top price talent. It used to be done through advanced scouting, but the world is flat for those avenues just like any other industry.
And their trophies (bowl wins) are fewer and further between

They've modernized and monetized many aspects around Anfield and their fans still think they're an elite club while the world's best go to fancy places like Barcelona and Paris.

The comparisons are rather striking, to be honest.

Couldn't translate lower level success to the big stage, although had one fluke year where they finished second?
