There’s “Notre” Like a White Dame
From the hallowed halls of Notre Dame comes this little gem that may turn the esteemed institution into a “School for Scandal.” While offering scholastic hope to star athletes so their academic performance allows them to continue to play is a long tradition, things this year at Notre Dame took a scandalously salacious turn on Friday:
The student came forward Friday accusing an unidentified faculty member of orchestrating “sexually and racially motivated” trysts with her daughter by including condoms, transportation and hotel rooms for academic favors. The accusor is an African-American student while the academic coach is white. Neither the student, coach nor her daughter are identified in court documents filed Friday in Indiana’s St. Joseph Circuit Court.
The alleged relationship did not begin until he sought tutoring lessons during this year’s spring semester. Those lessons quickly escalated to out-of-state sexual rendezvous between her daughter and the student.
She would later interrogate him about the “nature, frequency, and quality of the sexual activities” they had, the lawsuit claims, badgering him with “racially-charged comments about his sexual prowess and genitalia.”
He believes the coach was preying on other African-American student athletes as well.

The student is now demanding a jury trial, injunctive relief from the University of Notre Dame and for school officials to honor his scholarship while handing beginning an independent investigation into his accusations.
The school maintains its innocence against the allegations, dismissing the lawsuit as “unfounded” and a mere publicity stunt, Notre Dame spokesman Paul Browne said.
“The allegations against the University of Notre Dame in the complaint are unfounded,” Browne explained in a statement to the South Bend Tribune. “As are gratuitous and unfounded references to ‘student athletes’ — an allegation that is nothing more than a cynical attempt to attract publicity.”
Stay tuned kids!
