Rumored Violations

So the focus turns back to this. We made it the through the first 25% of the season without the frozen 5. Let's get them back fresh, healthy and hungry.

What a jolt in the arm that would be!

@BrianHamiltonSI: #NotreDame releases statement on academic fraud inquiry that says…well, basically nothing. Up to the players to reveal discipline, if any.

So this means that whoever is cleared will likely just show back up at practice?

 

[tussin]

So... Almost certainly no vacated wins and the admin must feel like they have egg on their face.

I want to think about it more before I speculate too much... But my initial reaction is that's a positively worded tweet.

That's my take and any detail that we might get would have to be from them as well. Hmm.

Then there's this:

So I liked that first tweet... Hated the second tweet.

 

[TheChosen1]

This is like when your get I trouble by your mom and she says"tell your dad what you did"

 

[Irish YJ]

I take it as, no sanctions or vacated wins. I do not take it as innocent or guilt at an individual level. If innocent or guilty, assuming it was communicated to the players already, I'd think we'd see some tweets from players and parents. Still scratching my head.....

Can they announce that they'll give up a scholarship later? As in once they fail to reach 85 anyways?

I have a bad feeling. I guess if there's good news, we'll know soon enough. Players won't be quiet if they're cleared IMO.

Full statement (my bold):

On August 15 the Office of General Counsel of the University of Notre Dame notified the NCAA that because of potential ineligibility issues, the University was withholding from football participation certain student-athletes as part of an inquiry into possible academic dishonesty involving several other students as well. The NCAA was also informed that upon the start of the academic year later in the month, appropriate University committees would meet to develop review processes consistent with the Undergraduate Academic Code of Honor.

Often, an academic honesty review involves one student and one academic department. Due to the complexity of cases involving multiple disciplines, Comprehensive Honesty Committees were impaneled to review memoranda and extensive exhibits compiled in connection with the General Counsel's initial inquiry, interview witnesses and the subjects of the hearings, and potentially impose sanctions subject to appeal. A faculty reporter was also appointed to review voluminous material collected during the General Counsel's investigation to identify cases for the Comprehensive Committees’ review.

Hearings for those withheld from football were completed on Friday. Decisions will be communicated individually to affected student-athletes and other students alike, as deliberations on each case conclude. As with other student academic records, the results of the review are confidential, and the University will not disclose them, although affected students may if they so choose. If it is determined that student-athletes would have been ineligible during past competition, Notre Dame will voluntarily impose appropriate sanctions, report our findings to the NCAA, and await its independent review.

The principal purpose of the Honor Code process (see Undergraduate Academic Code of Honor // University of Notre Dame) is to educate our students as to the importance of academic integrity. The process is time-consuming because it is thorough, as it must be to ensure integrity and fairness. Having said that, we recognize it can be difficult for students, regardless of culpability, who are subject to such reviews, especially when public scrutiny becomes so magnified for those who are student-athletes. We are working to resolve these situations as quickly as possible.

if they were expelled, you would think there would be some type of communication... who the hell knows. Thank god I'm still high on all of this weekend's wins, losses, and our first 2016 commit.

 

[irishff1014]

Quickly as possible my ass.

 

[Irish YJ]

Please Lord, Please ND, don't take a dump on my perfect weekend.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Expelled or reinstated the people in charge of this process can eat a dick.

 

[DogDaysIrish]

No, seriously...How do you really feel? Don't hold back.

 

[CanadianIrishFan306]

How long until they learn the results though?

I'm known around this website as the ultra-conservative guy who is afraid to take a firm opinion.

This whole thing is like a sick fucking joke.

Hell not only will they not load for me, the site is slow, sends me to the banner pic page sometimes, sometimes it loads for 5 mins before the page shows up, and sometimes nothing happens no matter how many times I reload.
