OT: Notre Dame's Rees, Calabrese Arrested

It's a lot about perception and smoke. This wasn't the first such case.

You're right, we don't know the facts. By keeping all of these serious cases in-house, Notre Dame will forever be suspect to cover-up charges.

To me, there's too much smoke for there not to have been some fires. If ND's president wanted to take some of these questions away he would let an outside agency lead some of these investigations. There's a lot of arrogance emanating from South Bend.
The DA should lead an outside investigation and should do so if there is reason to believe a crime has been committed. Again, your perception...even of the "arrogance" (true or not) is based on biased views. There are still people who think Obama was not born in Hawaii. Does that mean he should continue to fund investigations that prove he was until there are no more questions about it?
 
How did ND handle past cases? You could certainly make a good case that they are far quicker and harsher in discipline than SU (not saying that is good or bad). Look at #1. Seem familiar?

1. In 1996, a basketball player was expelled following allegations of stealing a friend's credit cards and charging about 900 dollars to them.
2. A fullback in 1998 was expelled following allegations of rape, though charges were never pressed.
3. In 2002, four football players were dismissed from the university when accused of rape. One was acquitted, charges were dismissed against two of them, and the fourth was convicted of a lesser charge. But they were expelled before the criminal charges.
4. In 2005, a fullback was suspended for the entirety of the season following a DUI.
5. In 2006-07, a basketball player was suspended and eventually expelled for possession of marijuana.
6. In 2008, a football player was suspended for football and lacrosse spring practice/seasons then for the remainder of the fall season following two alcohol-related incidents.
