Michigan scandal thread

From ESPN …,”Later Friday, Michigan issued a statement saying it would appeal the NCAA ruling.”

UM wanted to self sanction and the NCAA said no.

And to look back to 2012, PSU laid down and took all the sanctions full throttle
Yep penalizing all the players that were in the program from something happening over 10 years earlier. Somehow now they don't want to punish the current student athletes. Even though half the team there now was part of what happened there. Idiots.
 
Yep. To me this is much worse than the transfer portal, NIL and/or player salaries in college football. What it says is “if you cheat, you’ll get a fine”. $20m fine for Michigan is like giving Bill Gates a $20 parking ticket. Every top 20 school spends that every year to try and win a natty.

At this point, off the field in college football, there aren’t any rules
 
I am not sure if anyone is paying attention since tOSU dominated but there is a lot of smoke out there. During the game, tOSU’s communications with the coaching staff in the press box went out. There were several people wearing M clothing responsible on the sidelines. Some tOSU people went up to them and there were some heated arguments. There is a lot of evidence that this was done on purpose.

Secondly, there are several videos of UM players trying to provoke fights both before and after the game. Ryan Day was very classy in the post game interview. I was pretty surprised but he kept saying that they taught winning with humility. He also said that the motivation was to play for the love of your team, not the hate for he opponent. He stressed “your team” included players, coaches, staff, employees, alumni and fans. A really great message.
