She ran a shoddy hit piece on her alma mater. She should have interviewed the lawyer of the unnamed football player to get his side of the incident as well as research Seeberg's testimony, which was contradicting with itself and with other witnesses.

Gee I remember when the University of Alabama allowed boosters to provide prostitutes for Larkspur Dec 2012 #1

What about the women who falsely accused the Duke Lacrosse team of rape? Larkspur Dec 2012 #48
I'm a Notre Dame alumna and strongly disagree with her Larkspur Dec 2012 #40
She clearly researched both cases. It was not a shoddy hit piece. Name one incorrect statement in yellowcanine Dec 2012 #45
Yes it was a shoddy column. Larkspur Dec 2012 #47
But you still haven't named one incorrect statement. So how is it shoddy? yellowcanine Dec 2012 #50

Have we learned nothing from the Duke Lacrosse scandal? Larkspur Dec 2012 #31
And have we learned nothing from the Penn State Sandusky scandal? yellowcanine Dec 2012 #35
And there was no cover-up, and there was no rape. Larkspur Dec 2012 #39
The alleged rape was the second victim. Seeberg did not allege rape. You are obfuscating by yellowcanine Dec 2012 #44
No, I'm not obfuscating. Some shoddy writers call Seeberg's case rape because Larkspur Dec 2012 #49
"SOME shoddy writers" But not this writer (Melinda). So why bring it up here? yellowcanine Dec 2012 #51
I don't see much of a similarity between the two cases so far. pnwmom Dec 2012 #55
Here's another article on this incident... Larkspur Dec 2012 #32
Most of this does not address Melinda's allegations. yellowcanine Dec 2012 #34
Those issues were all addressed but ND haters want a scandal even if there isn't one Larkspur Dec 2012 #38
