Link: Michigan Football Hit With Penalties in Sign Stealing Scandal

[CB4]

In addition, Jim Harbaugh given 10 year show cause and Connor Stalions gets an 8 year show cause. Not that Harbaugh or Stalions will ever see a college sideline again.

Just a tad too late….

Much ado about nothing.

Harbaugh upon finding this out…

I don't like vacating wins, but it sure sucks to know they get to keep their National Championship*

If this had been us, they'd have shut down our athletic department for a century!

 

[Cruloc]

Meh, so basically they said we saw what you did so we've got to do something.

Don't really care, we've lost to them twice in a row now........would love to get another chance with a real QB.

wow...complete capitulation by the NCAA....as anticipated...

I know how we lost the bowl game... But I don't know why we lost the bowl game. That Michigan squad was awful, but we couldn't do anything.

Moore is a repeat offender and still skated.

 

[BamaNation]

How convenient. “Probation”, pay some benjamins, show causes for guys no longer there, no schollys lost. Oh, and the current head coach who was intimately involved in the scandal isnt banned.

pathetic.

somebody else will look at this and determine it is worth the risk. You have to ban from postseason and ding schollys if you want it to mean anything. Writing big checks is easy.

U-M gets major fine, add to Moore ban; will appeal

Michigan received a significant fine, including the loss of two years of postseason football revenue, but avoided punitive penalties such as a postseason ban from the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

It really doesn't matter now. It should have been handled that year. The NCAA knew it and allowed it. They did nothing. JH and his assistant with show cause are useless a d the NCAA know it. They are a team from up north and they will use another coach on cake walk games. Total bull

Thinking through the game suspensions, it should be against your highest ranked opponents per preseason AP. Not the first few games.

The NCAA has about as much influence nowadays as “newspapers.”

You can start with Alabama replacing the fine wine quarterback normally served here with Folgers crystals.

All this thread does is take me back to how we totally wet the bed 2023 with the GOAT at the helm.

And to think how we came within a play of beating them with a run-first, high school QB.

You're right. They need to just stop trying to enforce anything and just become an event planning organization.

Facts, because how do you get to choose what times you get punished is wild to me

We had wins vacated for a whole lot less.

The precedent this sets is awful, mainly because of the nature of the cheating. Sure, there’s very little that can be done to truly regulate cheating that happens outside the lines in the days of NIL, but this was a within the lines matter.

This had to do with the very essence and strategy of how the game is played, not by whom it is being played for what benefit. It would seem the NCAA would still have omnipotent power to regulate in-game cheating efforts to protect its integrity and they’d have every motivation in the world to do so by setting an example here. I didn’t have a realistic expectation they’d vacate their title (though they should), but a 1-2 year playoff ineligibility could’ve happened.

I think from now on every visualization of the 2023 championship should only be a maize and blue asterisk.

This would be like if baseball was stupid enough to suddenly say Pete Rose is no longer "permanently ineligible" now that he's dead....

Oh wait.......
