Meet the NCAA’s new general counsel.
Mark Emmert was approached by a reporter during his annual address at the 2011 Final Four in Houston with a question about a new hire. With all its resources, couldn’t the NCAA have perhaps considered bringing in someone else as its next general counsel?
The new guy, 44-year-old Donald Remy, had been vice president of litigation at Fannie Mae from 2000-2006. In 2006, the national mortgage giant revealed it had made billions of dollars worth of accounting errors. Some blamed Fannie Mae for the financial collapse.
None of that bounced back on Remy, an LSU grad. But when nominated by President Obama in 2009 to be Army general counsel, Remy was criticized by some members of the Senate Armed Services Committee about a lack of candor on his résumé about his time spent with Fannie Mae.
Remy reportedly summarized that portion of his professional life spent with a “major U.S. company.”
Jim Tressel is wondering why in the hell he didn’t think of hiring this guy to represent him first.
Shoot, that’s the kind of lawyer I want defending me if I have plenty of money. Getting documents from him would take decades.

“That was a mistake,” Remy said in testimony to the committee. “I take responsibility for that bio coming to the committee.”
Notre Dame would have fired his ass

Right along with prosecuting accused rapists and consenting to sharing blame for a hoax perpetrated in the name of an involved player.
Yep, they can clean up that devastating “Bio” stuff and let the little shit take care of itself in a sympathetic…uuhh…pathetic media that doesn’t dwell on the antisocial major crimes perpetrated in ND’s name.

Nail on head. What makes anyone think that ND is so high and mighty. They let their ball players rape co-eds and then ignore the victim to cover their asses. This school is as bad as any in college football but has the media sucking it’s joint to the point that the media has been aiding and abetting them for 50 years.
