LMAO in disbelief.

This is like rewarding Michigan twice for cheating. One resulted in a championship, and today they will be on top of the world. Partially due to the light punishment, but more so because they are laughing at all the fans that hate them knowing the angst that it's created.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I'm sure all Michigan fans will consider it totally worth it

NCAA has job opening for IT Director. I have a master's in nursing. Probably overqualified.

 

[BoredIrish]

If this led to ND winning a championship, I would take this deal right now.

[zelezo vlk]

Damn so you really can just build your program off cheating

 

[NotKoon]

Love how the message given out by the MLB and NCAA is just cheat, nothing will happen.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Maybe that line of thinking would've made sense 5 or 10 years ago. But the ease of transferring to other schools makes this a moot point.

 

[NotKoon]

Harbaugh was legit about to get fired and would have after 2020 in normal circumstances. They start stealing signs and then win a championship and apparently there is nothing to see here

 

[Huntr]

Who seriously thought they'd get major punishment? The NCAA is *nothing* anymore. Nothing. Michigan could ignore this shit and nothing would happen.

I wouldn't even pay the $20 mil, if I were Michigan. What's gonna happen? Nothing. Someone will bitch and some sportswriters will get their knickers in a bunch and then what? They aren't kicking Michigan out of the NCAA, wgaf.

Shit is gonna change in 5 or so years anyway.

As much as we'd enjoy seeing that program go up in flames, the NCAA ain't the ones gonna light that match.

 

[dublinirish]

yeah no shit

 

[greyhammer90]

Absolutely laughable considering the fact that kids ability to leave with no consequences has never been higher.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Just don't have the energy to get outraged. Was fully expecting a toothless penalty, and that's exactly what happened.

 

[dublinirish]

 

[Blazers46]

No it wouldn’t… they could just go play somewhere else!!

 

[BleedBlueGold]

If it wasn't for the fact that ND is excelling in this modern environment, I'd be completely done with college sports after hearing this news. How can a team be proven to have cheated on the field not get a harsher punishment. What are we even doing here?! This decision just set a precedent to green light massive amounts of cheating.

Looks like your "trustworthy sources" didn't know shit.

There was zero chance that Charlie Baker would have been saying what he was saying in interviews for the past year and a half if there was any chance they were actually going to drop the hammer.

"never sought reimbursement"


Lmao what a fuckin Muppet

Lmao what a fuckin Muppet

surprized he didnt mention the refurbed vacuum cleaners he was selling on ebay lol

 

[Blazers46]

This is the NCAA basically saying… yeah they cheated and yeah they should be punished but we don’t know why we exist.

 

[greyhammer90]

So we should be cheating

 

[zelezo vlk]

So we should be cheating

This is the inevitable takeaway. Texas is probably licking their chops at this news along with the rest of the SEC

 

[GowerND11]

Fuck it. Cheat. Pay a bunch of guys from the Eagles or Chiefs to play for us for a year.

Fuck why not… they didn’t use all their eligibility. They still have 8 years left! Steal everyone’s signs, use grown professionals, win a championship, and then laugh at everyone else.

I knew it would end up being nothing, and I’m still pissed.

In this “new era” yes…
