This is the part that I fear. Half of Michigan fans are enthusiastic about the recruiting tactics that Harbaugh is using. The other half are against it, but they silently accept it and tell themselves that "that's just the way things are".
If enough coaches start using these tactics, then one day the ND fanbase will be faced with the same dilemma. I'm afraid far to many ND fans would cop out and say "that's just part of the game"
When you first started posting about Harbaugh's tactics, you seemed to be more strongly against them then what you are now. Now, it's just part of the game.
What am I or any fan going to do that will change them? Nothing. All you can do is accept them and move on.
Why get all hot and bothered over things you can't change?
As long as Harbaugh isn't delivering bags of cash to players Ole Miss style and breaking NCAA rules, he can pretty much do whatever he pleases.
And if he keeps winning 10+ games every year, he'll really be able to do whatever the hell he wants. You think the AD or school will stop him? Ha. No. Because if he's turning Michigan into a serious winner they are going to rake in the $$$$$$.
It got so bad under Hoke that people weren't renewing their season tickets and Dave Brandon was having to give away tickets to a game for a bottle of Coke.
After Carr retired, Rodriguez had 3 years of hell, Hoke came in had a fluke season then 3 years of hell. Harbaugh came in year one and turned it around from 5-7 to 10-3.
Michigan has had only two 10 or more win seasons in the last 9 years. The other 7? They had a 9 win season with an embarrassing loss to App State in Carr's final year, and the other 6 were pretty much disasters under Hoke and Rodriguez.
You think the want another decade in the wilderness? I doubt it. They are going to shut the hell up and let Harbaugh do as he pleases and they are going to like it. That's just the way it is unfortunately.
