ESPN is firing up the jets...destination ND.

Rumors are rumors of course, but what gives me pause is that Loy said on the boards they were looking into this. That was 30 minutes ago. If this was completely nothing, this would be cordial one minute phone call.
Yup. Pretty sure this is a hoax. Will embed a couple tweets after this meeting.

Anybody else busy clicking back and forth between 'General Team Info' and 'Ian Book' threads?

pretty irresponsible of the news breakers if not true.
even if something minor did go down, the whole suspension thingy was just a BS attempt at clicks.
There were legs to this besides the Bartstool guy saying something. It seems like for now that he may have done something wrong but did not rise to the level of suspension. We will know more eventually I guess.
So shame on "Barstool Chief" for getting the blood pressure of the collective ND Nation up through the roof for a couple hours, but all's well that ends well.

Yeah irresponsible for that Barstool guy, but I thought "ND media" handled it well. No ND sites reported it. Nobody was trying to drive ad revenue to 247, ISD, etc.
How this goes down is that something did happen, and then the rumor mill completely blew it out of proportion. So the rumor starts from a class where multiple people are implicated in something, then spreads from there one degree of separation, and then those people share it with people they know.
At that point --where it stops being basic on-campus gossip, but before people who don't know shit start posting cryptic stuff on Twitter -- people are just discussing in the background what they've heard to see if there is any more information. Is it a big deal? Is it not? Is it an honor code violation? Is it a Golson situation? Is it just a very minor "whoops" affecting the grade on an assignment?
The moment it hits public boards and Twitter at large it just spirals out of control with misinformation. This is case and point why we don't allow speculation and unverified rumors on the board here... obviously, in this situation that's impossible once some Barstool guy is tweeting ominous things. It's also why we tried to say people should be chill because there was no information on what punishment, if any, he might be facing. It's also why GK tried to source this thing out behind the scenes ~an hour before it "broke" because it's irresponsible to cause a hubbub over something that might be nothing.

Fr Jenkins will open BK's conference tomorrow by announcing that ND will voluntarily vacate all 6 wins up to now.
