Have the Fighting Irish gone soft? An opinion piece which basically says that the University of Notre Dame shouldn't bother trying to emphasize academics over football since all college sports are corrupt anyway. Oh, so because everybody else is doing it that makes it OK? That's the same stupid mindset that's pervading the American and Canadian federal elections: just go with the flow since you're never going to change anything. Sorry, I can't accept that. Integrity is never a bad thing.
