Notre Dame official takes shot at Michigan allegedly screwing over a recruit

Michael Bertsch @NDsidBertschy
I'm glad the @NDBasilica wasn't able to call me two weeks before our wedding & say, we found another couple we like more for your time slot.

12:37 PM - 20 Jan 2016

BURN. (Except, the Irish were accused of doing the same thing during the Lou Holtz era, and this happens more often around the sport than is made public.) We have reached out to Bertsch for comment.

He messed with a Chicago kid... Teddy's not going to let that go. I expect we'll be hearing about it for some time to come... But then I'd have to actually read the Trib.

Seriously stupid move on hairball's part. Every HS coach in the country is going to be on guard with him.

I honestly doubt it affects them long term. Hairball is known for this and still has a top 5 class. HS coaches know CFB recruiting is shady. SEC schools pull schollies when kids are on campus yet Bama just won an NC, Ole Miss is still recruiting elite talent as is Auburn and the rest of the conference

Fair statments, however, as a coach, were multiple programs to approach me about a kid and one had a rep for doing things like that and the others didn't... who do you think I'm going to spend less time with? Regardless of 'brand' name? Seriously...

What happened is a fact of life. As someone else said that if we celebrate flipping a couple of 4*s three weeks before NLOID we have to kinda take this with a grain of salt. Sure a grown man has greater responsibility, but his responsibility is to his program. That said, exercise that responsibility mixed with poor judgment too often, it will come back to bite you.

Frankly, I'm just glad that this kind of thing hardly ever happens in my sport. We get 12.6 'ships per a team of 45 in D1... at the end of the day, almost everyone is a walk on. Most kids playing at the next level are happy to continue playing a sport they love... cuz it ain't for what they're going to be making playing as a pro.
