[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 269232, member: 1429"] As a fan of both organizations, I say yes. They're both the most history rich organizations in their respective area, and both have a great number of fans displayed all over the country, and the world, moreso than almost every competitor. Also, there's the independence trait. ND refuses to join any conference, and Green Bay is the only publicly owned franchise in USA. There's the root trait. Though not exactly the beginning of GB, but Jim Crowley, one of the famous Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, was the first Head Coach of Vince Lombardi, during his days at Fordham University. - Now, about players not wanting to go to ND and GB because of the place, and lack of regard to tradition, to me it's pretty simple: 1) At College, HS players want to go to a place where they think they'll be allowed to star, and also be able to be highly regarded to the draft. 2) At the NFL, players want Money. I see a list of decreasing value about the players' interest in joining teams. It may vary with each player, but I believe the majority feels this way: College: 1) How he'll be used in the program, and if he'll be allowed to shine. 2) How well players from that program are drafted. 3) Sucess of that program. 4) Facilities. 5) Location. 6) Tradition. NFL: 1) Money. 2) Money. 3) Money. (made my point) 4) Way he'll be used. 5) Staff and roster. 6) Sucess of the franchise. 7) Location. 8) Tradition. As I said, it may vary from player to player. Veteran players that have never won the SB may regard the sucess of the franchise and the roster and staff more than the money. Some players do regard tradition and fandom when choosing. And college players may want to stay near home, or go where his friends will be heading. But I firmly believe that, in the NFL, if the money is right, a player will go there, unless he has been greatly mistreated by the organization or by one of the staff member. If the Packers make an offer 1.5X bigger than the next team, the player will come... [/QUOTE]
