I get the hypocrisy of Notre Dame ignoring a sexual assault victim--that and victim blaming is De rigueur in college handling of that particular topic. (as it is in most other places)I rarely see anything else coming out of those stories.

Is college football so pathetic, so lacking in "hero" narratives it relies on a weird bullshit story?

I sure there are decent college players who do good things, say, charity work or something, right? Right?

If this is all they can come up with that's a pathetically sad statement in itself.
