UNDER THE DOME "I'll just explain to them that with the whole investigation … that what it all came down to was just a violation of school policy. It wasn't a cheating scandal. We violated a school policy as far as the honor code goes and as far as peer editing goes. "It ended up being a situation where Notre Dame holds their academics to a high standard, and nobody's getting mad about that. We knew the whole situation, what we were getting into as far as the whole high academic prowess and stuff. We all under- stood what was going on. We all said there were mistakes made on everybody's part, and we're just looking to move past it and get on to the next chapter of our lives." — Former Irish linebacker Kendall Moore on the academic investigation last fall that held five players out of action, four for the entire season (South Bend Tribune) "[Tournament struggles is] probably the thing that drives me most at this point. I've got a great contract [through 2022], I'm at a place I love being and I'm in the ACC — which I grew up [in Rock- ville, Md.] loving. It's funny, a few years back when I might have gone to Maryland who would have thought I'd be coaching in the Big Ten if I'd gone there, but now I'm in the ACC at Notre Dame? "To be honest, the Final Four thing sticks in my craw. I went to six as an assistant at Duke. Sometimes I worry I used up my quota. We haven't gotten on that run yet. I still believe that can happen." — Irish head coach Mike Brey on the program's NCAA Tournament struggles (The Washington Post) "I'm in favor of it. I think any time, especially here at Notre Dame, when we have a school that really kind of gives a young man a clear indication of what they are looking for with a Catholic university, small campus, high-caliber academics, that kids can make an early decision on a Notre Dame, that we are in favor of that." — Irish head coach Brian Kelly on a possible early signing period for prospects BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED P.O.
