If Michigan was 5-2, I would be confident in them getting hammered. Don’t trust the NCAA will do anything. They had enough evidence on Cam Newton but chose not to do anything because they were undefeated that year. They don’t like coming down on title contenders as it puts a stain on the sport. We’ll see.
This is where I am at until they prove otherwise. The news of them being on campus in Ann Arbor did nothing to move me in one way or the other.
Penn State, Miami, UNC, the list goes on. They've had ample opportunity to justifiably hold some of these programs accountable and have not done it. I don't see any reason why they would choose to start now unless there really is some kind of vendetta against Harbaugh, and considering the crap he's pulled quite recently maybe that's the case and they have some right to be pursuing him again. I just find it odd that all of the sudden they're deciding to make an example out of them for something that while unprecedented isn't anywhere close to being as serious and heinous as what Penn State did with Sandusky under Paterno's watch or what Miami turned a blind eye to with Nevin Shapiro.
Vacating wins and Heismans trophies means nothing. Michigan has already gone through this with the basketball program. The Fab Five's Final Four banners had to be taken down because Chris Webber took money. All of it still happened if you're old enough to remember and if you're not, do you really even care? Until there is real consequences, they're just dog and pony showing until they prove otherwise.
A very cynical part of me thinks the people in charge are going to see Michigan as a ratings boon and won't want to come down on them because there are going to be eyeballs on televisions when they play as long as they are viable and relevant to the playoff discussion this season. TV runs the show, especially in sports.
