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.

 

Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson missed last season because of an academic issue that was reportedly an honor code violation. This is believed to be a separate situation.

 

Sources said the NCAA is aware of the situation, but the school initiated the investigation and has handled the inquiry itself to this point. A source described the school’s knowledge of the potential fraud as “recent” and indicated that the academic questions came to light this month.

Hold up no one has been dismissed.

@NDatRivals: Rev. Jenkins: At this juncture, no one has been dismissed or judged guilty of academic dishonestly.

@NDatRivals: Swarbrick says students under investigation remain on scholarship but will not be allowed to practice.

They are a lot better at investigating academic misconduct than they are sexual assault.

This should be interesting but it will probably get swept under the rug maybe.

That was about as broad of a stroke as it gets...
