Notre Dame suspended its men’s swimming program for a minimum of a year due to widespread gambling on swimming and other sports

The report says they gambled on swimming events and other NCAA sports, and that the disciplinary decision was timed to allow them to transfer before the season starts.

The one-year suspension is a potentially devastating development for a program that had reached new heights under [its head coach], who is entering his third season on the job. Notre Dame had its first top-10 finish at the NCAA championships in program history in March, then sent its first male swimmer to the Olympics

The report also says all staff were cleared of responsibility.
