Michigan learns their fate today

[tennesseeduke]

They are having a call at 1 p.m. ET, but the details are usually released an hour before the call. I am sure we will be underwhelmed.

Death penalty

 

[UT97Vol]

Michigan just got the highest fine in history. 20 million..

Deserved and then some.

That’s a load of BS that they took scholarships away from us, but are not doing it to Michigan. It is completely ridiculous.

Do I remember correctly that our scholarship reduction was self imposed?

 

[UT97Vol]

Michigan got a slap on the wrist but we did too with Pruitt. The only difference was our former AD mismanaged the dept so bad we cooperated so we could avoid a buyout...

Not if you count the cost of lost scholarships that we're still paying for.

This is unreal that Michigan just executed the biggest cheating scandal in college football history and didn't receive a single scholarship reduction. That's some flippin BS right there.

Which is basically nothing to them.

F the NCAA and everything they stand for.

To negate the punishment the ncaa was going to give us. They still gave scholarship reductions then came back to punish more when certain programs said we got off easy.

NCAA just proved they're useless. No postseason ban or scholarship reduction. They have no teeth and honestly should just be done away with

What a load of horsechit.

If there has ever been a reason to vacate a national championship football season, it’s this one. The most incredibly outlandish illegal scheme imaginable in college football.

The Ohio State game, Big Ten Title game and the playoff games were not affected in any way.

 

[Firebirdparts]

Wow! They did a good job of helping Michigan out. I guess it's a lot compared to nothing, but I would think very little football impact.

The NCAA is legit hilarious

If it was 2010, we would have received a multiyear postseason ban and worse scholarship reductions for what Pruitt did. It was that egregious.

We were fortunate the NCAA was largely neutered by 2021. Scholarship reductions mean less in NIL era as well (for schools like us or Michigan). Yeah, we were cooperative but our cooperation wasnt altruistic as much as it was opportunistic because our former AD screwed our finances up royally where we couldn't buy him out for performance.

Yeah, Michigan's punishment was a joke but ours was too...

Vols fan first, Michigan second.

How's at work?

 

[zjcvols]

How's at work?

Your mother and her side of the family spent generations in Tennessee and are Vol fans

Your father and his side of the family spent generations in Michigan and are Wolverine fans

Pretty simple.

 

[adam.vol]

It’s like Hillary said: “Deny! Deny! Deny!” Proof is only as strong as the judge’s willingness to act. In this case: “Pay us (NCAA) $20,000,000 and we’ll let this go.”

Mine is exact opposite.

Insufficient evidence that the outcome of games was impacted?
That is one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

Perfect example of talking out both sides of your mouth. Why the hefty fines if they did nothing wrong. Connor just came up with teams to scout on his own.

Why did Harbaugh get a 10 year show cause if he didn't even know about it???

 

[Legion of Doom]

No doubt

Exactly we are just now this year coming back to full scholarships with next class I believe. It is totally ridiculous Michigan blatantly cheated and lied about it and nothing that would hurt them at all on field. If I am Plowman and White I am on phone with NCAA.

Do scholarship reductions even matter anymore with NIL?
