I just watched a segment on ESPN about Notre Dame spring football. It included a snippet displaying a conversation between a Notre Dame football player and a tutor, who was explaining the construction of a paragraph. Topic sentence, supporting sentences, conclusion. They haven't been winning because their standards are so much higher than their competitors'! It's not fair!

They might be smarter than Tim Tebow, but what does that tell you? It just goes to show that when you group such a larger population together, often for different reasons, you're going to get the cream of the crop and the bottom of the barrel. The 1900 season also marked the first year in which a football calendar was produced. Don't forget Brady Quinn earned degrees in political science and finance. When schools like Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc have more than 10,000 students, not everyone is going to be a genius. Not much. The hottest air temperature ever recorded in Death Valley (Furnace Creek) was 134?F (57.1?C) on July 10, 1913, at Furnace Creek. At least they had graduated sentence construction and moved on to paragraph construction.

Oh man, saw this here first. General consensus on the ND boards is this video is...well...it's pretty bad. :lol: Dunno what they were going for there, trying to bring in younger fans? Gotta wonder who signed off on this one.

You're not the only ND fan who isn't particularly proud of that video. At his blog HERE, Feldman says they've started a Facebook group to protest.

[sarcasm]
That should help

Jesus. Looks like ND is using all the parent organization's experience in covering up sexual assault cases. If this is true, there is nothing too bad that can happen to that institution.

More than two months later, Notre Dame refuses to publicly acknowledge the case, and what actions university officials have taken to investigate her allegation remain largely unknown.

Campus authorities did not tell the St. Joseph County Police Department investigating Seeberg's death about her report of a sexual attack, county officials said. Nor did they refer the case to the county's special victims unit, which was established to handle sex offenses, according to prosecutors.

Agreed

Obviously Kelly can't be blamed for the sexual assault, but the fact that this guy is still playing football? Not even a suspension from the team? 2 deaths in just the Brian Kelly era and basically nothing done about either one. This isn't an instance where we use a 3 strike system here. [censored] these guys and the horses they rode in on. President needs to go, AD needs to go, BK needs to go..there's a long list of others that need to go. For a school that preaches morality, no one has the balls/decency to stand up here against what their fellows in charge are letting the school get away with. I am personally glad we don't play these dick heads and if I were calling the shots at a school that did, I'd be dropping them from the schedule ASAP

Funny how every ND message board that I checked removed all posts regarding this scandal this afternoon. It must be so very tired for the Notre Dame community to constantly have to spend so much energy on kool-aid drinking and myth maintenance.

The former federal prosecutor that the family has retained is known as a real tenacious ball buster. ND doesn't seem to have absorbed the Watergate lesson that the cover up often brings more heat than the actual crime. ND had better pray that there is no cover up.

I mean seriously. If there's one institution in the entire god damned world that should pause and say, "hmmmm....covering up a sexual assault is probably not the best move" it would be a Catholic institution. Oh well, what's that they say about the definition of insanity?

The stupid part is if you don't cover it up, and kick the guy off the team it goes away for ND. The guy would face some sort of charge, but ND is off the hook. Some DAs would look at this like it was murder. Rape is always a slippery slope in court.

IF TRUE, then this guy commited a felony that resulted, eventually, in the death of a human being. I'm not a legal expert, but you don't have to be to know that the act is morally one notch below murder... on a scale that has a very large number of notches /IF TRUE
