Thanks, found him. He's neutered now so he stays in the area.

Any reason to come off the ledge based on those Sham report tweets? They seem to think it's a matter of time before 2/3 get cleared.

We will be expecting a presser in the morning on the status on the dog. Until then boys i don't want to see any speculation or rumors. Let's have some respect for the families involved.

BREAKING: Sources close to Chipper confirm he's being kicked out of Koon household, Koon to voluntarily vacate all photographs and memories of the dog.

New language? LOL

Stupid tapatalk and stupid phone. Meant yep that was it.

 

[koonja]

I'll call the ticket guy and see what's up. He had the scoop on turf/grass.

 

[NDBoiler]

What would've been awesome is if Koon's dog was named "Fuck Michigan", and he just walked around the neighborhood shouting it at the top of his lungs. I'm actually surprised that's not the case.

 

[Crazy Balki]

I hope you find your dog, how can it get any worse. First the academic thing and now koon's dog runs away. Maybe there's some sort of animal, that we could make a sacrifice too. Like a giant buffalo, or some sort of monster, like something with the body of a walrus with the head of a sea lion. Or something with the body of an egret with the head of a meerkat. Or just... the head of a monkey, with the antlers of a reindeer, with, ah... the body of a porcupine.

...I'll do some research

I'd like everybody at this point to know that NOBODY has been kicked out of the house and NOBODY is laying out Kibbles & Bits on the front porch.

You neutered your dog to prevent him from being involved in a sex for grades scandal during obedience training. More parents should have your foresight.

So if I get suspended from work, should they call my Dad?

Completely irrelevant, athletes aren't employees. But thats a different thread.

That depends. Are you 16 and work at Dairy Queen?

You are spot on with this bro. It is up to the young adult in college to let their parent know what is going on.

But they are adults.

 

[Irish YJ]

When I got caught with booze in my dorm at IU my freshman year, I'm really glad no one called my parents....

 

[Irish Insanity]

But they are adults.

I am on the side of not calling the parents, these athletes are adults. However, very few act like it, or can take care of themselves.

Anyone in need of good news: Ohio State was eliminated from the national championship picture today when Braxton Miller's arm fell off again.

That's not good news. Now if he was suspended that's a different story.

Ohio State's title hopes were never there to begin with, since they play a somewhat average schedule this year.

As frustrating as it might be when key players might be out the door, Notre Dame is a university with a football team...not a football team with an associated university. Who here can actually say that they have never made the argument that a recruit is daffy to give up a free ND scholarship in order to bet on an NFL career after 3 or 4 years of Mickey Mouse courses at one of those football factories?

Unfortunately, looking the other way when academic fraud is suspected is exactly the kind of thing that cheapens those Mickey Mouse degrees at those other places. Notre Dame does not do that and arguing that this is some sort of witch hunt by "academics" who have it in for the football program is pretty paranoid. So is rolling out stats claiming that 80%+ of college students cheat. While I do not dispute that number, I would like to point out something obvious: the huge majority of cheating goes undetected. Those who are caught most likely did not get caught on their first foray into the mirky world of academic dishonesty. If you are caught cheating, you have probably cheated many times over in order to finally be nabbed. I highly doubt 80%+ of college graduates would admit to being habitual cheaters.

So IF one or more of these players is found to have cheated, I hope the exact same rules which apply to any other ND student in the same situation will be applied.

Like all Notre Dame supporters, I am hoping that these allegations do not result in proof of serious cheating. I cross my fingers that a tutor may have may have slightly crossed the line in her editing of player's work and that these incidents require only minor consequences and perhaps some in-service to clarify the regulations related to citing academic sources. It is after-all, best to turn something like this into a learning opportunity.

If however a key player is lost to the team, as bad as that is for supporters of the team, I will be disappointed but supportive of the action. The students involved will receive due process and that is all they deserve. If that means we lose a player, it will also serve as a warning to everybody else who might otherwise think they can cheat with impunity.

Grahambo, a chara,

Was the first set of rumors Thursday night long on names and details of what happened leaked from an inside ND source, as opposed to the second wave of rumors Friday morning being leaked about four players expelled and wins being vacated, indicative that it came from an NCAA source after ND made the call?

Was the second set of rumors being replete with vacating wins simply based on an assumption based upon an misinterpretation of an innocent assurance as to how far ND would go if need be?

That then causes an oh-shit train wreck series of events that just blew the top off the rumor mill?

I.E. was someone having a little internal investigation about some minor transgressions, and do to the politicized nature all rumors were multiplied to the tenth power?

Is that why Fr, Jenkins looked so uncomfortable, because he knew he put his own ass (or they put their own asses) in a sling? And is that why he emphasized that the punishment may not be as great as expulsion, only an "F" on a paper?

Which is the only reason you would have the President of ND calling a press conference to tell everybody four players were suspended from practice over (something worthy of) getting an F on a paper?

I will take my answers offline.

So what has happened since Saturday? I've been without internet. If someone could PM me the details it'd be greatly appreciated!

You missed it. All have been cleared and are reinstated to the team. Will be back practicing tomorrow.

Nothing..........We're still in a holding pattern. Oh, there's a debate on Memphis basketball and lawyers.

And Koon lost and found his dog

Well, yes, they weren't going to WIN the thing this year, but they could have sleep-walked to 12-0 and a playoff berth with the garbage schedule they play. It is definitely not good news that the kid got hurt, but it is - on the whole - good news that OSU's season is already over. I'm not above schadenfreude.

This breaking news comes after Chipper's indefinite suspension from the Bod Squad.

What the heck is going on in here?

Absolutely nothing
