John Brice being a fellow hater of Michigan in this is so good

I don't care about CMU. Let's get to the main course.

If CMU gets hammered hard for a one time deal, that gives me hope that Michigan will get worse than whatever CMU gets.

If CMU gets hammered hard for a one time deal, that gives me hope that Michigan will get worse than whatever CMU gets.

To paraphrase the late Jerry Tarkanian:

The NCAA was so enraged with Michigan for the egregiousness of their actions that they dropped the hammer on Central Michigan.

I could see NCAA coming out saying Stallions was really a triple agent working for CMU, lol.

 

[dublinirish]

238 lol

 

[KPENN]

23ate pounds.

 

[ulukinatme]

It would be interesting to see what kind of punishment CMU gets, because based on that it's logical that Michigan's will be much worse.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Apparently tomorrow is DDay for a punishment? I'll believe it when I see it, not getting my hopes up that the NCAA will actually do the right thing.

Has anyone seen their schedule for this year? Holy crap what a cake walk. Nothing but pure mediocrity leading up to Ohio State.

I could see Oklahoma beating them if they dont shit the bed

One can only hope....freshman QB with a $12MM ego in Norman could be tricky.

I am going with Oklahoma as my most overrated team to start this year. Crazy they are in some top 10s. They gave done nothing to earn that yet.

I haven't seen that myself but I can't remember seeing a wider disparity between the two preseason polls: AP has them #18, Coaches unranked. they seem like a real wild card. Either way, should be a hornets nest for the Wolverines week 2 for a starving fan base trying to regain relevance. Fingers crossed the tough environment can make a difference.

Fuck Michigan.

What a week… between the Kelce/ Swift podcast, Arrow’s practice report, and now the NCAA scUM conclusion. Only thing better would be football starting this weekend.

I bet the under on Oklahoma wins and would still be giddy as can be if they stomp scUM

"No BJs from the NCAA for a week"

 

[NDVirginia19]

I won't hold my breath. If anything, they'll get the same punishment that we got for telling the NCAA that players played in games who were retroactively academically ineligible due to cheating.

oh definitely they dont have the stamina for their schedule but its a night game in Norman versus Michigan they should be winning that

They'll get less. Current rumor is $14MM, a two game suspension for Moore, and Harbaugh and Stallions are banned forever. No removing the wins from the record books, no future punishment. Basically a speeding ticket and a show cause for a guy who doesn't even want to coach there anymore.

No post-season ban and no vacated wins is downright comical considering that they *actually cheated to win games*

Haven't checked out the current rumors but vacating wins was on the table last I heard (a few months back).

I hope so. My post was just based on what I read on r/cfb and appears to be circulating from a Michigan insider.

 

[IrishLion]

Notre Dame vacated wins for self-reporting a tutoring issue that "affected eligibility retroactively"

There's gotta be SOMETHING in the NCAA rule book about competitive integrity making results null and void, or something

One of these things are not like the others lol

 

[sfk324]

There is zero chance they have to vacate wins after the announcement of the investigation. And any game they are told to vacate, they will do the same thing USC and we did -- put an asterisk next to it with a note "subsequently vacated" and still count it.

They have consistently downplayed it from the beginning, so I'm skeptical lol.

 

[MrNimbus]

Do the right thing ncaa. This whole thing reeks of unethical conduct. Smu the fuck out of them.

Sports is about arguing with friends during the offseason. Give me that damn asterisk!!
