Isolate and discuss the rhetorical devices that appear in the following passage:"Notre Dame people like to point out that, unlike other [college football] powerhouses, their players must face tough admissions standards, shoulder the regular course load, and forget about being red-shirted to gain additional playing years. And, of course, it's a lot more fun to point out those things if your guys are out there stomping on 24-year-old golf-course management majors every Saturday, the way they used to."-Newsweek
