Yeatman, Golic arrested on alcohol charges

Yeatman, Golic arrested on alcohol charges

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame tight end Will Yeatman and center Mike Golic Jr., son of an ESPN television host, were among 41 people arrested on misdemeanor alcohol charges early Sunday at a South Bend home, police said.

Yeatman, 20, and Golic, 18, were charged with being minors consuming alcohol, said Sgt. Al Taylor of the Indiana State Excise Police. Others arrested included members of the Notre Dame lacrosse and soccer teams, he said.

State, excise and St. Joseph County police made the arrests at a home in South Bend about 2 a.m., Taylor said.

The charge could be more serious for Yeatman, who was arrested in January on a charge of driving drunk on a campus sidewalk. Prosecutors agreed in February to dismiss a criminal recklessness charge and allowed Yeatman to plead guilty to drunken driving and reckless driving. The agreement called for the state to move that the drunken driving charge be dismissed if Yeatman stayed out of trouble for a year.

Police made the arrests after Notre Dame returned to South Bend following a 23-7 loss Saturday at Michigan State. St. Joseph County Police spokesman Sgt. Bill Redman said police were targeting businesses that reportedly had sold to minors when they received a report about the party.

Those arrested were taken to the St. Joseph County Jail. Neither Yeatman nor Golic, whose father, Mike Golic, co-hosts "Mike & Mike in the Morning" remained in the jail Sunday evening.

A message seeking comment was left by The Associated Press for Yeatman on his cell phone and at Golic's home in West Hartford, Conn.

Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis was not asked about the arrests during his weekly news conference Sunday afternoon, but he released a statement Sunday night saying he was "made aware of the situation late this afternoon and am currently looking into the matter."

University spokesman Dennis Brown said he knew that some Notre Dame students had been arrested but said he would not have further comment.

Yeatman had played in all three games this season for the Irish, making two catches for six yards. Golic, a freshman, has not yet played.

Bruh, analytical baseball talk would be the quickest way to tank ratings. The only thing that would do worse is analytical hockey. The reason mornings shows cater to casuals with generic content and safe comedy is because the overwhelming majority of the audience is comfortable with that. People who want specialized content know where they can go to find it.

That's the entire MLB network. All they talk about are analytics. The problem with ESPN is that all of the major sports have their own networks, thus the unique thing ESPN has are 'personalities' and live sports

ESPN’s shakeup continues: ‘Mike & Mike’ are splitting up

Didn't see a thread on it, sorry if already posted

Maybe they will fill that morning spot with something a little less.. uhh.. sanitized..

 

[the cool]

Best move espn has ever did in the history of their existent is getting that NBA contract. If it wasn't for the NBA on espn this station would of been over.

 

[DallasTxRep]

That was a dumb idea

 

[DaPresident]

Eff them....



wasn't nothing but a big long advertisement anyway. Another way for ESPiN to push product down our throats (pause)

 

[Gyasi85]

horrible executives up there in espn

It's one of the best thing espn has as well as freddie coleman at night...

They probably want to get younger with host and try to be more hip for the kodak black fan base

espn fan avisors just sent me a survey asking about mike and jemele's new sportscenter show. I truly believe that they gave that to them to silence them. No matter what they say they will not be the same on sportscenter.

 

[DallasTxRep]

Where else are we gonna get the dumb fat jock who eats whatever he wants guy/ nerdy effeminate tennis playing health conscious clean freak guy banter?

Yep....
That's what makes the show popular

because ESPN is cash strapped and spreading their 'talent' out as much as possible

Hence why JVG and Mark Jackson don't work together as much anymore

Why guys like that dude Steve Levy are doing play by play , etc, etc

They are trying get every penny out of these guys

Espn is far from cash strapped they just aren't making the margins they want

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

i remember reading a report that ESPN is in love with mike greenberg and wants to push him. i guess splitting up mike & mike is just the first step to re-branding him. and even tho ESPN is losing subscribers they are still the king of sports. i think they'll level out and stabilize a few years once they start recouping on the money they spent on all the live sports rights.
