OT - Notre Dame Academic Probe

[intlzncster]

Not at the hallowed and revered Notre Dame, surely. Better check out UCONN's APR from 10 years ago though...

[UConn17]

Music to my ears

Another holier-than-thou school that does things "the right way" goes down in flames.

 

[Uconnrick]

Emert will give us the death penalty for this.

 

[Chief00]

Whatever academic cheating by athletes that gets uncovered goes on at nearly every school. Athletes submitting papers written by others - we all live in glass houses on that one.

 

[Rocktheworld]

I heard their fake girlfriends were writing the papers for them

 

[dogpause]

Emmert has ruled that the offending players must say 3 Hail Mary's and an Act of Contrition.

 

[TheRogers]

Emert will give us the death penalty for this.

He'll punish ND by vacating their loss to us. In the press conference he'll say...."this is what happens when you diss me in 2011 and 2014!"

I am not a ND fan, but I applaud them for doing something about this..... it wasn't always the case in South Bend, where if you were an athlete, you got a free pass.

I am not surprised that this sort of thing surfaces on occasion.... and nobody is immune.... scandal hit West Point a few years back with violation of the honor policy, and problems at Harvard hoops caused a couple of semester long suspensions last year, including their captain..... I think I have the facts right on that one..... if not it is pretty close

Emmert will try to dig up some dirt on a paid-for hamburger at Roy Rogers consumed by Oliver Macklin in 1992 and all of our championships will be vacated.

 

[Husky1964]

Certainly NOT an ND lover, but they can never go to a FF let alone win the Big One because ESPN's top 100 kids don't have many they can accept. Kelly wants the school to provide the players with "more resources". Tutors?

Exactly, but when UConn alone gets a postseason ban over something basically everyone is doing, we're allowed to complain about it.
It's not complicated.
