MO you crack me up. At 90% of universities this would have been covered up. Stop kidding yourself. My expectations for this season just went down, but it will still be interesting and if it does go downhill I will still have Duke FB and the NFL too. Plus Duke BB starts in November. Lol, I would bet money that what you say about "90% of universities would keep it covered up" is untrue, but it's delusional to think that if it was true, that ND is in the 10% given how long they covered up Manti Teo's fake girlfriend. Please steel, you're better than that. I would say that it is likely very correct what Steeldevil is saying. Many high profile players don't spend much time in their schooling and get free passes through highschool and college due to the fact that they make their team a winning team. Also don't even begin to compare the Manti T'eo GF thing to this. Why should that have been public information?? That was T'eo's personal life he had every right to try and cover it up and not have it come out to the public! This is different because Golston actually did something against the rules. I am gonna say ND tried to cover this up too, but someone didn't want it covered up. Every Football program does shit to cheat IMO, their players get free stuff that they aren't supposed to, their players take steriods, their players cheat their way through school, and usually because the Football program is such a huge part of bringing money to the school the school will overlook a lot of this shit and even go so far as to help cover it up. I am not saying every player does this, just every school will have players who do these things and get covered up.

Steeldevil was implying that ND doesn't cover up violations, and my point was that ND has covered up things too, Teo's GF just so happened to be the example I used, albeit it was probably a bad example. I could have used the rape that Notre Dame covered up, if you would've liked, since that actually relates to ND football. I agree with your third part.

MarchingOnI don't know it for a fact but there is a lot of evidence that piles up against every team covering up some of their players/ coaches. If you look at some of the guys who have come into the NFL through the NCAA there is no way they were "Smart" enough to get through college on their books smarts. It was their football skills/smarts that got them through it. Some of the players are just very stupid, not everyone has an easy time with schooling so how do some of these players manage to get through College?? They cheat or have someone else do their homework.. Lol ahh yes the rape would have been a better example/more disturbing example because its something against the rules of society/likely the football program. I am not saying ND is clean in this, no way.. I am just saying that every school does it. Just like I believe every team in the NFL tries to cheat in some way shape or form. People will do anything to win, including letting people get off with shit they shouldn't.

Blue Mountain State tells me all I need to know about College Football... I assume Golson's nerd was unavailable so he was forced to copy from elsewhere. When the school found out about him copying the work, the football teams attempt to cover it up ended with vulgar and hilarious results, ultimately ending in Golson being suspended.
