Also, there's nothing else to do

On a home Saturday afternoon at ND, the only things to do are go to the game or study.

I'm sure at other schools there's a sizable contingent that watches the game on TV while drinking.

Part of it is that ND guarantees tickets to every student that wants them. If you're at a big school and only half your friends manage to get tickets, you might just keep drinking and watch on TV at least some of the weeks.
