As Notre Dame continues to tumble and trip into this new era of college football, they (and us) have to deal with the fact that many of the old norms surrounding the sport have gone the way of the dodo, Crystal Pepsi, normal political discourse, dinosaurs, and other things that are never coming back to life.

The NCAA used to allow a 120 player roster with 85 of those players being allowed a full scholarship.
