They are not a blue blood program any more.



You can say that ND isn't the powerhouse they once were but they'll always be a blue blood. That's not something that goes away. Current status rises and falls but being a blue blood is a permanent state.

Hell if that’s the case then Yale, Princeton and Harvard are blue bloods.

In that case Princeton and Yale are the greatest college football dynasties in the history of the sport.

Not true. In fact, according to the OED, any team that hasn't won a national title since 1999 no longer qualifies as a blueblood. They had a long explanation about it, which I don't remember very well, but it was indisputable and convincing. The OED guys know their stuff.
