Ntre Ame officially has the 2012 and 2013 season wins vacated due to academic fraud....

Oh no, not vacated wins.

Head coach Brian Kelly downplayed his role in the situation when the initial announcement was made in November 2016.

"It was student-on-student cheating," he told reporters. "This matter has nothing to do with me and my status here."

I think that is called plausible deniability.....

"It was student-on-student cheating," he told reporters. "This matter has nothing to do with me and my status here. I mean, I fucking killed a kid and didn't lose my job. Do you honestly think this shit has fuck all to do with my status?"

I went ahead and included the full quote from Body Kount for transparency.

I'm no Domer fan, but this looks like piker shit, which might even actually be a legitimate be a case of a tutor going rogue, especially when compared to the crap that UNC got off scot-free for. I guess ND didn't cheat big enough to get let off: https://www.sbnation.com/college-ba...th-carolina-scandal-ncaa-violations-sanctions

So apparently these wins were as fake as Manti’s girlfriend. So now we have to go back to Holtz’s reign for a legit team?

I think this is still Ty Willingham's fault...

I'm just glad the stupid Domer hubris about never having NCAA infractions is officially over - better yet that it involved academics.

And ND self-reported it too. The lesson, as always, being if you don't cooperate, you don't get punished as harshly....

Sad thing is if they won the nc. I bet the ncaa let's them off.

As one whose heritage is a mix of Irish, German and Nordic raiders, I think Fighting Irish should go along with the horned helmets and wolfskin-wearing Viking. We're mostly peace loving beer drinkers now.

Well, they don't generally put up much of a fight so . . .
