Notre Dame is Catholic, not choir boys
"“I think the context of revealing his name maybe adds to maybe why we certainly accused Notre Dame of conducting a superficial investigation…But maybe it adds context to why they might conduct a superficial investigation.

Seeburg was sadly just one in a long line of sexual assaults that were hidden according to a Deadspin story that quoted a Washington Post report.
"Among the things said about Seeburg in smear campaign by Notre Dame was that she was “a troubled girl…(had) done this before…(was) the aggressor )and) all over the boy” (according to a “top university official” at Notre Dame)"
Seeburg was apparently told by told by a friend of Shembo’s:
"“Don’t do anything you would regret. Messing with Notre Dame football is a bad idea.”"
Not surprisingly, Shembo’s attorney Joe Power tried to discredit Seeburg as well.
"“They observed that she was being rather forward and dancing with the young man; she was dancing for him.” (Lizzy described the same moment this way: While they were dancing, the player began “pulling me towards him. It was uncomfortable but I didn’t know how to stop it. Then he told me to give him a lap dance and I didn’t know what to do. He pulled me down on his lap and he had his legs spread out. He started pulling my body around his crotch area and told me to keep doing it.”)"
