ESPN... you did something right! Of course, being up against NotreDameSucks, well, even Donald Trump could come out of that match up looking like a stand-up guy.

Background & link:
Currently, the Worldwide Leader in Sports is engaged in a lawsuit against the almighty Notre Dame Fighting Irish to gain access to campus police records and it recently received the support of the Indiana Attorney General.
As a bit of background, the legal fight arose after ESPN reporter Paula Lavigne twice asked to see the campus police report of an incident involving a physical altercation between fans prior to a Notre Dame vs. Michigan football game in 2014. Lavigne had also requested other reports and logs related to Notre Dame student athletes, but the university denied all requests for access.

NDSucks won the initial round in local circuit court when the local judge bought their bullshit argument.
Despite the fact that campus police are police ?as in they can arrest you, search you, detain you, and sometimes shoot you ? a St. Joseph County Superior Court judge ruled that the campus cops were immune from Indiana?s Access to Public Records Act because Notre Dame ?is clearly not ?an agency or a department of any level of government.??
That's an absurd technicality: you can operate a police force, empower it with the laws of the State, use it to throw people in jail, arrest them for real crimes, but claim it's not subject to public records laws? Assholes!


news that Indiana's AG is siding with ESPN does not bode well for ND.



Get ready to read some interesting stuff in a couple months! FUCK NotreDameSucks!
 
the first hyperlink about the records request has the basis for her initial information request:
The legal fight's roots stem from a physical fight that broke out on Notre Dame's campus about an hour before a Sept. 6, 2014, football game between the Fighting Irish and the University of Michigan.

Witnesses reported that a man fell down, or possibly through a stairwell, and had blood pouring from his head, after a band concert in the main building.
...
and I thought I had a bad time there that day...
