August 15, 201412 yr Author Notre Dame Football Rumors: Expulsions, Vacated Wins? According to rumors coming out of South Bend that have been independently confirmed by our sources, four Notre Dame starters will be expelled (the announcement is coming Friday at 3pm EST), and wins from the entire 2012 and 2013 seasons could be vacated. Update 1:11 ET: our source tells us that all of Notre Dame’s wins from 2012 are definitely being vacated. 2013 still unclear. We have not been able to confirm the identity of these players with 100% certainty, but multiple sources have told us the individuals involved are WR DaVaris Daniels (recently reinstated after an academic-related suspension saw him leave Notre Dame for the Spring semester), CB KeiVarae Russell, DL Ishaq Williams, and LB Kendall Moore. All four are important players for the Irish, and losing them would be a major blow to Brian Kelly’s 2014 campaign. One source close to the football team told us that he thinks the expulsions are academic-related, and another high-level source gave us more details: Apparently, a university official had been helping football players cheat over the past two years, and owned up to it to their higher-ups. The cheating was not related to Everett Golson’s cheating suspension, and Golson is reportedly not involved in this situation. We’re still trying to find out more about this developing situation, and we’ll provide updates as they become available.

August 15, 201412 yr These programs bring this stuff on themselves by recruiting athletes that are not legitimate students. And they are well aware of it up front! The money corrupts the academic integrity.

I'm willing to bet SOMEONE with that football staff knew this was happening.
