Miami certainly wasn't considered successful.
Bowden at FSU was still early, but had some top 10 teams before then.
FSU 1981 schedule:
@ Nebraska (power then)
@ Ohio State(#7)
@ ND( were #4 & #1 earlier in the season)
@ Pitt(#3)
@LSU
@Florida
FSU actually travelled to Nebraska & Ohio State in back to back seasons in 81 & 82(Not even a home & home).

ND played Tennessee back in 2001 I believe also back in late 80’s/early 90’s
We played Tennessee and LSU something like 10 times between 1990 and 2007.
We just played a H/H with UGA. Have another starting next year with Arkansas. Have another starting in 2024 with A&M. Have another starting in 2028 with Alabama.

You must have lived under a rock in the 1980s and 1990s because whichever team won the ND vs. Miami game in 1988 - 1990 won the national championship and the ND vs FSU series in the 1990s culminated in 1993 in the Game of the Century for the talent playing in the game (just about every starter played in the NFL).
The current market for exclusive college broadcasting was set by Notre Dame and their market power in the early 1990s. People watched because they played all the best teams (and most top teams were independent).
However, I don't like Saavy Jack Swarbrick because he and Brian Kelly have squandered ND's market power and commitment to excellence with bullshite schedules like this year (and they killed a student and colluded to with each other to cover it up). Jack Swarbrick was also general counsel for USA Gymnastics, assisting in covering up Nassar, AND USA Swimming, covering up all other sorts of abuse of athletes.
Every ND fan knows the sellout streak ended in 2009, against UConn, and they've been covering it up by dumping tickets to local Boy Scout troops and non-profits for years. You have been able to go to Walmart in South Bend and get 2 tickets to late season shitty home games with the purchase of (2) 12 packs of any Coca Cola product for about a decade.

Contrary to popular belief, Michigan is not considered a rival, as Michigan refused to play Notre Dame from 1898 - 1978 because the university and its enlightened leadership hate Catholics. Fielding Yost, longtime coach and AD, was a KKK member and Michigan has always blocked ND's application to join the Big 10 throughout the 20th century. The anti-catholicism was the largest reason why ND had to barn storm and develop rivalries with far away schools like USC and startup programs like Michigan State and Purdue.
ND and Michigan have played sparingly since resuming in 1978, fewer than 30 times in 150+ years I think, so calling them a rival is not really accurate. Michigan has half a national championship and a bunch of Rose Bowl losses in the same 150 years.

Dude, Florida has played one non-conference game outside the state of Florida since 2008, and it was a Neutral Site game against Michigan in Dallas. Georgia has gone west 3 times (Notre Dame, Colorado, and Oklahoma State) in that same time frame.
Those Florida schools are the ones that don't venture out. Hell, Florida has played 1 true road non-conference game in the last 28 years (at Syracuse in 1991).
yea UF is way worse

Funniest shite i ever witnessed for CFB tickets, was driving into Kansas City, and hitting a gas station, and the gas station was giving away KU football tickets for Saturdays game for free. The Gas station brand in KC/KS had thousands and were giving away when people hit the register to buy shite or pay for gas.

For a nonrival, Irish and Michigan fans were sure willing to drop a lot of coin to get into the game last year.

Can you even comprehend what "every year" means? UGA HAS to go OOC home and home with the SAME in state opponent EVERY year (as does UF)and it LIMITS their opportunities to schedule OTHER schools OOC.
Once again,please list the OOC in state opponent that OSU plays
EVERY year?
Geez,who did you not understand that point?
Did you get that?

I checked out their season ticket prices. Their cheapest season ticket is more expensive than LSUs most expensive (not including club tickets or suite tickets for either school).

These continuous sellout streaks are often time smoke and mirrors though, there have been times where groups will just buy up a few thousand tickets right before the game solely for the purpose of keeping them alive.
Yep. This thread last year detailed how almost everyone uses tickets sold instead of scanned tickets. Even Nebraska is guilty.

Well, as they should.
If you used scanned tickets, no one would "sell out", ever. And also, the term is "sell" out...meaning all tickets have been sold. Unless I'm missing something here.

I got a kick out of it because FSU fans for years said UF was the "only" school who did that.

But the perception of having a sellout is that the tickets were extremely high in demand, to the point where every single one was purchased.
Once teams establish one of these sell-out streaks that gets notoriety, they begin actively gaming the system to keep it going.
Like slashing the ticket price to dirt cheap levels and then some booster type organization buys up all the remaining unsold tickets in one large transaction and they can continue to crow about how the game was sold out, when in reality there were thousands of tickets nobody wanted to buy that went unused.
That sort of thing pretty much destroys any cache the idea of a "sell out" is supposed to convey.

Nebraska is such a sham. Been to multiple games there that were 70% full since the streak started.
