Five Notre Dame football players were arrested with a misdemeanor possession of marijuana on Friday, according to the Indiana State Police. A sixth football player was arrested after a separate incident at a South Bend bar, according to multiple reports.

Starting safety Max Redfield, linebacker Te’Von Coney, wide receiver Kevin Stepherson, running back Dexter Williams and defensive back Ashton White were charged in the marijuana incident. Redfield, Stepherson and Williams face additional charges for possession of a handgun without a license, according to the police.

In a separate incident, cornerback Devin Butler was arrested on suspicion of battery, according to the St. Joseph County Police Department online search.

Where to begin? Notre Dame has an excellent opportunity to take a stand against student athletes (who get an N-D degree for FREE) who exhibit extremely poor judgement, bring shame on Notre Dame, fail to uphold Catholic values, violate the student code of conduct, yadda yadda yadda...or decide, as they usually do, that "The Program" is more important. Also, it would be a nice act of contrition after the football program KILLED a guy by deliberately ignoring incredibly simple safety rules.

On the student side, they are certainly auditioning nicely for their entry into the National Felons league. Gangsta behavior? I wonder if that's an elective that "athletes" can take for yet another easy "A".

Does anyone at all VET these "athletes" for basic humanity? For knowledge of what is right and wrong? O is the only thing that's looked at is their highlight reel and how many yards of whatever?

Notre Dame, the country is again watching. Try REAL hard not to screw this up.

Bet they won’t get a $10,000 fine, though.

Or be as reviled as some “privileged” swimmers were,
who were ripped off and then described it as robbery;

and then had to pay a $10,000 shakedown.

College students smoking some weed, that puts them in the 85% percentile of college students. The bar incident where a woman was allegedly pushed and the cop attacked, not good at all. What still drives me to distraction, that having a loaded firearm is a crime if you don’t have a license. The 2nd amendment says SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. You don’t need a license to speak, print, assemble or petition your government. Anyone that says you need one to bear arms is a tyrant or a boot licker of tyrants.

If any are good students and this is first offense, suspend for one year from football. If they are FU’s throw them out. Let’s see who picks them up.

Come on. Notre Dame is the same as the rest of the programs. Remember the player that got worked over by the Jacksonville cops after he spit in a black policewoman’s face?

It’s not about education, it’s not even about Catholic values, it is about Professional College Football.

That’s it.

No Catholic Values on the football field at Notre Dame.

No Baptist Values on the football field or administrative offices a Baylor.

Redfield’s a safety. That isn’t a tough call.

Max Redfield,Tough call — yes
Te’Von,Yup — correct
Kevin Stephenson, I vote yes — correct
Dexter Williams, pro’ly — correct
Ashton White, most likely — looks quadroon. I’ll give you this one.

You scored an 80 (B-) without pictures. And you didn’t even try the bonus question (Devin Butler), where a ‘yes’ would have improved your grade.

Of course, you would have scored better if you had just voted your gut without looking at the names.
