I'm not sure what it'd be like to be a popular radio show host and have your kid arrested. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that. Mike Golic, however, does. His son was arrested sometime Saturday night for underage drinking at a party following Notre Dame's loss to Michigan State. 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. The charge could be more serious for Yeatman, who was arrested in January on a charge of driving drunk on a campus sidewalk.
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.

What's interesting is that Golic felt it was necessary to immediately address this issue during today's show, which you can see below.
Personally, I thought Golic would extremely mad about his son partying with soccer and lacrosse players, who everyone knows are complete pansies.
Obviously, addressing the issue was probably the correct thing to do, but my problem is this. Back when the Mitchell Report broke, Fernando Vina was was on Baseball Tonight. After it came out that he was named in the report, he simply disappeared from the show for a few weeks, and when he came back, no one asked him about being named in the report.
So apparently underage drinking, which nearly every college student does, is higher on ESPN's priority list than steroids.
Anyway, this episode should make Notre Dame haters happy, but like I said, should have been you, Jimmy Clausen.
