SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Brian Kellys worst season at Notre Dame took an embarrassing turn Tuesday as the NCAA announced that academic misconduct orchestrated by a student athletic trainer will cost the storied program all 21 victories from the 2012-13 seasons, including the 12-0 run that vaulted the Fighting Irish into the national championship game against Alabama.It marked just the fourth time the NCAA has cited Notre Dame for a major rules violation. The vacated games include Notre Dames 12 victories in 2012, their best regular season since winning their last national championship in 1988. The season finished with an embarrassing 42-14 loss to the Crimson Tide in the title game and the revelation that linebacker Manti Teo had been the victim of a fake girlfriend hoax.The school ripped the NCAA for its decision to vacate the wins and immediately said it would appeal. The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, said the NCAA has never before vacated records in such a case.We believe that imposition of the vacation of records penalty without serious underlying institutional misconduct will not primarily punish those responsible for the misconduct, but rather will punish coaches, student-athletes and indeed the entire institution who did nothing wrong and, with regard to this case, did everything right, Jenkins said. He noted the NCAA has since voted to change the rule that brought this case under NCAA jurisdiction rather than leaving such decisions to individual schools.The Division I Committee on Infractions panel also put Notre Dame on probation for a year and ordered a $5,000 fine, penalties the school agreed with. There were no bowl or scholarship punishments.According to the NCAA, the trainer was employed by the athletics department from fall 2009 through the spring of 2013 and partially or wholly completed numerous academic assignments for football student-athletes in numerous courses from 2011 into 2013. It said she did substantial coursework for two players and gave impermissible help to six others in 18 courses over two academic years. The NCAA said the woman continued to provide impermissible academic benefits to football student-athletes for a full year after she graduated and was in her first year of law school elsewhere.In all, the NCAA said, three athletes would up playing while ineligible, one during the 2012 season and the other two the following season, when the Irish went 9-4.Kelly said he knew the vacated wins were a possibility since Notre Dame officials met with the NCAA several months ago. He said he had hoped reasonable people would come to a reasonable decision.If doing the right thing means that youve got to put an asterisk next to these games, thats fine with me, he said. We still beat Oklahoma. We still beat Wake Forest, we still beat all those teams, so you can put an asterisk next to it. If that makes you feel better, then thats fine with me.He said he doesnt believe he has any culpability in the case and has no reason to believe he wont be back as Notre Dames coach next season.I think you guys are confusing this statement with the win-loss record, said Kelly, whose struggling team has a 4-7 record ahead of Saturdays game at No. 12 USC. A win-loss record is always under scrutiny at Notre Dame, and it should be. Thats part of it.The report doesnt name the players involved, but stems from an investigation that began in August 2014 , when the university suspended defensive lineman Ishaq Williams, receiver DaVaris Daniels, linebacker Kendall Moore and cornerback KeiVarae Russell, who werent allowed to play that season. The school later benched safety Eilar Hardy, who was allowed to return in midseason. Russell returned and played for the Irish last season. Quarterback Everett Golson was suspended for the fall 2013 semester for what he termed poor judgment on a test.Notre Dame players said after practice Tuesday that Kelly explained the NCAA announcement after practice. They said it has no effect on them.Its just a couple of guys made a mistake and the whole team goes down with it, left tackle Mike McGlinchey said.McGlinchey said he wasnt worried about the victories being vacated.We know we won the games, said McGlinchey, a team captain. Theyre not going to take that away from us. They can take it away in the record books all they want, but we won the games.It was the first major NCAA violation for Notre Dame since 1999, when the school was placed on probation and had two scholarships taken away because of the relationship between Irish players and former booster Kimberly Dunbar, who embezzled more than $1.2 million from her employer and then lavished the players with gifts, trips and money. The NCAA also lists two other major infractions : in 1971 for the improper administration of financial aid and in 1954 for improper tryouts.If the NCAA erases all 21 Notre Dame victories, the Irish would fall from the school with the second-most wins in NCAA history behind Michigan (935) to fifth place with 875. That would place them behind Texas (892), Nebraska (889), Ohio State (885) and tied with Alabama (875) heading into the game against the Trojans, where they are 17-point underdogs.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .

CLEVELAND -- After combining to score one run in 10 innings in the first game of the series Monday night, the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins are both hoping for better results on Tuesday.It took 10 innings for the Indians to score the only run of the game in a victory that extended the Twins losing streak to 11 games. Thats the longest losing streak by the Twins since they lost 11 in a row in September of 2011.The Twins had given up eight or more runs in six games in a row, a streak that was halted Monday when they held the Indians to one run. But a loss is a loss, and the losses are mounting at an alarming rate for the Twins, who havent won a game since a 10-3 victory over Kansas City on Aug. 17.When youre trying to find a way out of something like this, you need to make your breaks or have things go your way, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. But thats baseball. You never know from day to day if youre going to be in a pitchers duel or a slugging contest.The Indians, meanwhile, continue to sputter offensively. Although they won Mondays game, they have been held to one or zero runs in seven of their last eight games.Were not putting up enough runs, but weve got to weather through this, Cleveland skipper Terry Francona said.Jason Kipnis drove in the lone run Monday with a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 10th.As an offense, we know we have to do better than what were doing, Jason Kipnis said. But if weve got to win 1-0, then lets win 1-0.Josh Tomlinn (11-8, 4.dddddddddddd70) will start for Cleveland on Tuesday. Tomlins status in the rotation could be riding on his performance Tuesday. In his last five starts, Tomlin is 0-5 with a 10.80 ERA and nine home runs allowed in 25 innings.Tomlin leads the majors in home runs allowed with 34, and seems certain to break the Indians franchise record for most homers allowed in a season. The record of 37 was set by Luis Tiant in 1969.The schedule hasnt done Tomlin any favors, however. His last four starts have been against the Washington Nationals, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers, all teams that are likely headed for postseason appearances.In 13 career appearances against the Twins, Tomlin is 4-4 with a 5.26 ERA. In three starts versus the Twins this year, Tomlin is 2-0 with a 3.72 ERA.Joe Mauer is 7-for-20 (.350) with three RBI and two walks lifetime against Tomlin, while Brian Dozier is 5-for-23 (.217) against him.Twins starter Andrew Albers (0-0, 4.32) will be making his third appearance, but first start for the Twins this season. In 21 starts at Triple-A Rochester, he was 10-6 with a 3.69 ERA.Kipnis is 2-for-7 with a double against Albers.Albers does have one memorable appearance against Cleveland. On Aug. 12, 2013, he tossed a two-hit shutout in his second major league start, a 3-0 win over Cleveland at Target Field.
