Follow up on Jimmy Clausen Beer Olympics

Notre Dame investigating Clausen Posted: Tuesday August 05, 2008 07:23AM ET For the second time in a year, Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen may have to explain his alleged participation in a situation involving alcohol. And at least two other teammates might be doing some explaining with him. Notre Dame will investigate possible school code violations after the Web site The Big Lead posted photos Monday that appear to depict Clausen, teammates Brian Smith and James Aldridge and one other individual attending what the site labeled "Beer Olympics." No matter the date of the photos, at least two of the players would not be of legal drinking age: Clausen, who does not turn 21 until Sept. 21, and Smith, who does not reach 21 until 2010. Aldridge turned 21 on July 6. The pictures are not dated, and while there is beer on the table in front of the players, the photos do not show the players actively consuming alcohol.
