I haven't heard anything about cheating on exams. Word from the underground is that a female student wrote some papers for these four players back in 2012, but not in 2013. She was paid in...favors, from what I'm told.

Yeah, Kim Dunbar 2.0 has been thrown around. The difference would be that Dunbar was considered a "booster" because she spent $10 to go to a luncheon for the old QB Fan Club, or whatever it was called. This recent incident involves a student on campus writing papers for athletes. I've also heard this may involve other sports besides football.

Seriously, how is a school supposed to keep shit like this from happening? I guess it all boils down to the chances you take when you recruit a marginal kid, academics or character.

Yeah, if I was 18-22, and a hot (by South Bend standards) student offered sex and to write paper(s) for me, I probably would have accepted too.

where ohio state has shown that you can trade goods for services, notre dame has shown that you can trade services for services.
and now the stupid ncaa has to get in the way of what should be a functioning free market economy.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Geez, I thought that all ND recruits were high school honor students admitted under the same matrix as normal students. Could it actually be that they're dipping into the lower end of the pool just like every other big time football program. They sure as shit won't release any admissions data on their football players, which I'm absolutely sure they would be trumpeting from every mountaintop were those players coming in with stats even marginally approaching that of the entire freshman class.
What I find most interesting is that there seems to be a systemic program of cheating to keep them eligible. There's enough smoke swirling around this program, that only the truly naive would believe that it's not being arranged and sanctioned by the program. Not that the World's Angriest Man will ever be held accountable. He's racked up a literal body count, so I doubt any academic fraud is going to stick.
If the four are being expelled though, it does seem as though the administration is saying, "enough is enough." As a confirmed ND hater, I still have to recognize and respect that. Now if they can now just start holding prominent AD individuals accountable for manslaughter, we'll be making real progress.
