No leis allowed at Notre Dame

Notre Dame students had planned to go all-out tomorrow in an effort to help recruit Punahou linebacker Manti Te'o.

According to a report on the Los Angeles Times' Web site, Te'o will visit the South Bend, Ind., campus this weekend and attend the Fighting Irish's game against Syracuse.

The Times reported that students had concocted a plan to hand out 8,000 leis at the game, but the Notre Dame athletic department told them not to, citing possible violations of NCAA rules.

“;I received a communication from somebody wanting to do something — and you can gather what that is — in the way of showing support and encouragement for a prospect that may be visiting,”; Notre Dame compliance director Mike Karwoski told the Times yesterday.

“;I responded back with an e-mail to the inquiry I received saying, we don't think this is permissible, and this is why we don't think it's permissible.”;

Meanwhile, “;Tom Lemmings Prep Report,”; which airs on CBS College Sports Network, will announce tonight that Te'o is its national player of the year.

The show is available on the Dish Network and DIRECTV.
