Well, I understand that Phillip Daniels has a vested interest in defending his son.

I take these rumors with a big grain of salt, especially if Phil Daniels is the sole, or main, source.

But, you have to admit that the media coverage was over the top then this came out of Friday.

" 4 ND players expelled", "ND may forfeit its 2012 season",  "22 players may be involved."

In truth, nobody really knew very much then.  Hell, Brian Kelly was not told until the day before.

For what it is worth, Ivan Maisal of ESPN is backtracking a bit this morning on his original story:

"Some people, including me on ESPN Radio on Sunday afternoon, have been under the mistaken impression that the academic misconduct investigation of four Notre Dame football players involved work performed by academic advisors. In fact, the academic advisors uncovered the alleged misconduct. I trust Notre Dame will protect its academic reputation, no matter the consequences. With four important players in limbo, the consequences to the football team are going to be huge."

I tend to think that Phil Daniels is just pissed about his kid.  I tend to think that some of these guys may have cheated academically.  But, who knows when, how many and what the penalty for them may be?

ND has suspended its starting quarterback, its leading receiver and its best basketball player for academic reasons in the past 15 months, so it is not shy about booting players for that reason (instead of covering it up).
