NDs "investigation" was a sham. (link)

  • Got this from tos. Jesus ND is getting caught badly. Covered this up to ride the season out. Sounds a lot like penn state in terms of making football bigger than doing the right thing.

    The investigation ordered by Notre Dame was limited to the electronic search, Brown said. Investigators did not interview Te'o or his family, nor did anyone attempt to contact Ronaiah Tuiasosopo or any of his relatives.

    In response to questions, university officials said the investigators did not examine cell phone records, e-mails or other electronic communication to determine the length or extent of Te'o's
    communication over the past few years with the person claiming to be Lennay Kekua, nor did the university ask Te'o to take a lie detector test.

    Investigating the hoax

    SOUTH BEND -- Facing questions about what they knew of the Manti Teo catfishing scam and when, University of Notre Dame leaders are defending their decision not to reveal it before the Jan. 7 BCS national championship football game.

  • Basically this is confirmation that Notre Dame/Teo has known about this for awhile but didn't want to "officially" find out the truth.

  • Just going to say this once more (today, anyway), but there is zero evidence that anyone did anything at Penn State with the purpose of putting the football program first. Can't believe so many halfwits go around repeating it like it's gospel.

    As far as ND investigating this, how far did they need to go? I'm pretty sure Swarbrick said they were only checking to make sure nothing happened that was against NCAA rules (e.g. impermissible benefits). Otherwise, ND would be providing a benefit to Te'o and his family by performing a full investigation. Still shady, but depending on what the true goal of the investigation was, not sure I see this as that big of a deal.

    True on both fronts. PSU got nailed because of public outcry. It's crap & unwarranted. The NCAA felt they had no choice. The lynch mobb wanted blood & Emerett obliged. I hope the PA lawsuit exposes the NCAA. The only shitty part in that though is that weasel Corbett looks like a hero.

    Bull. You can say it as many times as you like, it won't change my opinion. It's pretty damn plain to see what went on up there just by looking at a basic timeline.

    But yeah, let's keep this thread on track.

    Notre Shame is a joke.

    Yeah little boys getting raped by your former d-coordinator and the head coach sweeping it under the rug is totally unwarranted. Wish Penn State would have gotten their school shut down because of people like you.

  • I have no doubt Notre Dame knows a lot more than what they are letting on, and knew a lot sooner. No way the university is that naive.
