11 Notre Dame athletes were arrested this weekend on underage drinking charges. Among them was son of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. Nate Montana and several players from the football, basketball, and hockey team. Most of the arrests were released on $150 bail. Tim Abromaitis, of the basketball team, was the other notable player involved in the arrest.

Poor Nate Montana. The only guy with a recognizable name, because of his father, gets mentioned at the top of this article. In collegiate sports, we’ve seen computer theft, sexual abuse, and drug use. Underage drinking, which undoubtedly occurs everywhere, isn’t nearly as bad as the aforementioned crimes. As a matter of fact, this story probably wouldn’t even have made the headlines if it wasn’t for Montana. Then again, it might have because of the number of athletes involved. Either way, now Notre Dame athletics has more street cred.

One thing is for sure, the basketball players are going to be running a lot of sprints……

So we’ll deal with it as it runs its course. … A lot of sweating will be involved. That’s the one thing I can say specifically and then we’ll handle it from there.
