That's a far cry from "knew he was involved". ESPN has a similar article saying that he played it up, but does not say that players knew that she was a fake, or believed he did.

It's just sad that this is getting so much attention yet this gets nothing from the media or Notre Dame.

That is fuckin' TERRIBLE. I fuckin' hate the national media and how they don't talk about this shit at all.

"At all" is a stretch. That story was talked about quite a bit, actually, leading up to the National Championship game. And now it's being talked about again. ESPN isn't running it as a main story, of course, but it is getting talked about.

The simply reality is that our country is more fascinated by gossip and innuendo (see: TMZ) than crime and justice ... unless it's on Law & Order.
