SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - 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 a reporter from WNDU-TV said she stopped Weis on his way out and he said he had received a report just before talking with the media about some possible arrests but he had no details.
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.

Only reason it made news is Golics son is in on it. College football players drink its what they do. As long as they arent killing anyone or causing any other bodily harm who cares?

That is sad. I believe that many college football players would disagree with you.

According to OSU fans OU is the only place anyone drinks at, so I am shocked to hear the actually have alcohol in Indiana.

I dont believe they would. For example in my 4.5 years playing college ball I probably had about 170 teammates. We dressed around 88 or so and with guys quiting and stuff every year it probably comes to that many. Ok so anyway of those 170 or so I can think of 3 that didnt drink. Mind you I went to a NAIA college. So think about these big DI colleges. Its a fact of life athletes whether it be football, soccer, tennis, or whatever drink whether it be high school, college, or pro. Speaking of athletes drinking man we had some rugby players from England and Ireland that played soccer for us. Man could those guys put it away. They were some pretty tough hombres and nice as could be.
