You have tuned in to Irish Illustrated Insider.

It's Monday, January 25th.

I'm Tim Prester from Irish Illustrated with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated and Pete Sampson from the Athletic.

Since we last gathered last Monday, Notre Dame was put on probation.

We didn't expect that news,

but a little bit of a little bit of phone calls ahead of the scheduled time by a former

Irish assistant has put Nordame on probation to clarify to everyone. Maybe some of our older

listeners hear probation and think no bowl game. Probation

has different levels and in this case, Nordame will of course be able to play a bull game. A couple

really, really fairly minor slaps on a hand. I thought it was kind of amusing that Brian Kelly

turned down a picture offer with Lorenzo Stiles Jr.

And then said, oh, what the heck?

And he got caught for it.

But that obviously is a low level probation, a low level violation for Notre Dame.

So they'll still be in bowl games.

And I really don't think that there's anything on there.

Maybe you guys disagree that would impact Notre Dame significantly,

whether it's on the field or off the field in recruiting. I mean, Notre Dame is pretty buttoned up

with recruiting in terms of how aggressive or liberal they interpret the rules. It's already, I think

they're fairly conservative about that stuff. I think that would just sort of make them maybe even a little bit more conservative,

but I don't, there's not a lot of room further to go there.

So it's, I think you just sort of got to watch, make sure you're fully compliant.
