Good for Jenkins for not just lying down and taking it.

I mean, didn't ND do EXACTLY what an institution should do when it discovers potential violations?

And Ole Miss will get a pat on the back with a dirty Wal-Mart bag of Benjamins under the table.

Could you imagine if we have actually won the natty that year? Oh my.

Why'd you have to bring that game up... its still so damn painful. I'm going to eat my feelings and order $15 worth of McDonalds for lunch....

 

[GATTACA!]

Wtf

Seriously fuck the NCAA.

 

[EvilleIrish]

Honest question...how will ND justify firing O'Leary and keeping BK after this?

 

[greyhammer90]

Unbelievable.

From reddit:

Now NDs 2012 season is as real as Lennay Kekua

Savage

 

[BleedBlueGold]

The Frozen Five didn't even play in the games...why are those being vacated? Doesn't it specifically say the games in which they participated? I'm confused. 2013-14 games should not be vacated imo. I'm not even convinced they should vacate 2012. Is this real life?

I'm officially on the fire BK train. This is a perfect moment to just drop the hammer. How many more terrible things have to happen to this football program before they say enough is enough?

I approve that joke. Too funny and the irony is magical. FML.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

So who is the accused individual from the 2012 season?

 

[BeatSC]

The price you pay for forcing your football players to take real classes. No credit for graduating players of all race with REAL degrees but let's make a mountain out ornate this mole hill. It's another witch hunt because ND haters out there feel ND thinks they're better than everyone else.......well we are! Go F yourselves NCAA and your imbalanced playing field. Any reason why the players names who caused this aren't getting their names thrown out there anymore? I suppose this will be yet another reason Kelly can mention for getting run out by USC. It would be nice if the players can channel a whole seasons frustrations into a angry mailing of USC. Time for a few late hits to set a tone for this D. No one has any fear of anyone on this D. Rant on!

 

[BobbyMac]

Unbelievable.

Actually, believable.

I hope Jenkins learned something. If you don't want to release University police records, then don't release ANY internal investigations that don't require criminal prosecution.

Investigate, self-sanction and when the NCAA asks... Tell them to pound sand.

 

[IrishBroker]

WOW....

Time to fire BK and everyone else associated with his tenure here.

Cut bait and move forward with a fresh slate. What an embarrassment.

I am not sure how this part is on Kelly?

The "Tea Bag" picture needs to leak

Don't question it. I'm upset, and if I've been taught one thing, that means Brian Kelly is personally responsible.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Wouldn't Davaris be for the 2012 season as well?

Davaris Daniels, Eilar Hardy, Kendall Moore, Ishaq Williams and KeiVarae Russell played in the 2012 season and 2013 season. The 2014 season is when they were suspended.

And it's funny to hear people blame Brian Kelly when he actually had nothing to do with it. I think you can be angry at the 4-7 record, but in this case, Kelly suffered through 2014 losing 3-4-starters and then did everything right after they found out. Not sure what else you would like him or his staff to do.

Has more to do with him being the head of the program and multiple things going wrong during his tenure. I say it now precisely because it's on the heals of a 4-8 season (when they lose to USC) and there's arguably no better time to just cut ties and move on.

 

[BeatSC]

Hope these guys know they disgraced themselves, their family and their university. Looks like KVR is going to need that degree (assuming he got it). I think he was the only impact player who came back a lesser player than he left. Is he on a practice squad somewhere! I will say he at least made the effort to return unlike lazy Ishaq.

Bull shit he doesn't know that the Players are cheating. And i know for fact he didn't know about because if he did Daniels would have run his mouth just like he has done every other time!!!

 

[ACamp1900]

The worst is ND didn't institutionally do anything wrong really,... But the narrative is the Dome is tarnished, ND is just like everyone else...

Exactly. It's perception.

He needs to go.
