By DOUG GRIFFITHS ISL Assistant Editor Just when you think you’ve seen it all in sports, Saturday’s college basketball games come along.

Why would a major university hold such an event to discuss its star football player’s now non-existent girlfriend? This is beyond bizarre and Notre Dame’s handling of […]
From Notre Dame Athletics On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe […]
