So is it common for these DBags to fall back on the fact their school is the Harvard of the midwest with a true commitment to student athletes unlike the evil football factories of the world when their team blows?

Whether or not a player is enrolled in graduate school has absolutely nothing to do with redshirts.
If a player does not take a redshirt, he is not around in the 5th year. A 5th year "player" who did not redshirt is not a player; he's a former player.
Yes, 5th year
former players are typically in grad school at ND. But that's because they aren't NFL (or real world) capable.
