Here's the Yahoo story

Notre Dame administrative officials are investigating instances of potential academic fraud on campus that could include several members of the Fighting Irish football team, sources have told Yahoo Sports.

Sources said four members of the football team were interviewed by school officials Friday: receiver DaVaris Daniels, defensive back KeiVarae Russell, defensive lineman Ishaq Williams and linebacker Kendall Moore. The probe also is looking at non-athletes, sources said.

The situation was described to Yahoo Sports as a potential “honor code violation,” which could result in the ineligibility of the players. Under NCAA protocol, if any fraud that occurred impacted players’ eligibility the school could ultimately vacate victories. Both Daniels and Russell were significant players during Notre Dame’s 2012 season, when the Irish went 12-0 before losing to Alabama in the BCS Championship Game.

Report: Notre Dame dismisses four players amid academic investigation

FoxSports reported Friday that "four starters have been dismissed" from the team and school over the alleged fraud, uncovered during the summer investigation.

247Sports' Blue and Gold Illustrated reported Friday
that cornerback KeiVarae Russell, defensive end Ishaq Williams, linebacker Kendall Moore and wide receiver DaVaris Daniels were not with the team at its Friday practice. Notre Dame declined comment on those players' absences.


FoxSports reported the same four players were those dismissed after the investigation. Yahoo! Sports reported the academic investigation also included regular Notre Dame students as well as football players.

I heard that T'eo thought he had the impugned school official cornered, but he confused him with Eddie Lacy and the guy ran right past him...
