75% of college football fans reading scUM rumors:

Not being intentionally thick. She looks like she's giving birth or in a sex scene. Is this an alien-type movie with stomach-bursters? Or a rom com?

I'm trying to understand if 75% of fans are in pain or close to ecstasy?

Whatever the answer, I'm sure she's a very talented actress who works with a stroke of genius. I'm sure she's worked with many great leading men, and the competition is stiff to work with her.

So I watched the untold series today on Michigan. He’s completely full of shit about giving all the tickets to friends. Also did anyone get the vibe that stalions might be on the spectrum a little bit? Not even trying to crack a joke

My wife has been an educator for 20 years and said the same thing. I typically trust her judgement when it comes to this because she sees it on a daily basis in the classroom.

Makes sense when you consider how he fit into the military aspects of life and was able to concoct such an elaborate scheme of sign stealing.

I thought it was "oh f yeah spread it" which is why I was disappointed you didn't make the obvious joke about zelezo spreading rumors.

Still think it's more likely than not that they get a slap on the wrist
What do you define as a slap on the wrist? Because I think basically every single person on this forum agrees (even before the scandal) that they deserve the death penalty

One last thing for the night, as I had forgotten to mention this. Look out in the soon to be leaked NOA for "reckless indifference to NCAA bylaws.” That's the NCAA going for blood

I want to believe so, so, so badly but I've been let down before. The NCAA may issue a strongly worded admonishment but will they actually levy any penalties?

I thought Tennessee would get the hammer for their McDonald's bags of cash, but they cooperated and mostly escaped. Though, they did get hit with scholarship reductions which hurt USC for a while.

I want Michigan to get punished but I think I'm more interested in justice. The crux of it is that a whole program entirely skirted the rules and undermined the structure of a level playing field for maybe many years. The good/bad, black/white simple peanut brain inside me wants retribution!

The only glimmer of hope I had is that they are already under Level 1 sanctions and they were mostly defiant so hopefully the punishment is extra heavy. I don't doubt that we'll get these leaks and reports of the cheating, but I want the response to be commensurate to the level of their crimes - they eroded trust in a system built off of faith in a level competition field.

I think we all know that the just punishment would be program crippling penalties for multiple years - I just don't think the NCAA is interested in doing it to that degree.

As Lax has mentioned before, Michigan discovered the scheme on their own and did nothing about it themselves, allowing it to continue into the 2023 season. That's already pretty dang bad as far as the NCAA goes. The other thing is that they refused to cooperate with the NCAA.

It's really a bad look overall for scUM. Charges of ineligible players due to compensation are harder to justify in the current climate. Directly cheating, knowing about it, and refusing to address it, let alone acknowledge it when the NCAA and Big Ten confronted you? That's something else entirely. Some of the plugged in guys are doubtful like many here, but others think the hammer is about to drop. Think tons of vacated wins from 2021-2023 and the NCAA not acknowledging the Big Ten titles or CFP title. Oh and let's not forget that the Big Ten is pretty well motivated to no longer acknowledge those titles either.

Do you know what would be the most amazing, beautiful outcome of all? Michigan gets the death penalty or close, gets kicked out of the B1G, and ND takes their place.

Watching that documentary I just keep thinking that Conor Stallions must’ve been one of the most naturally unlikable people in his high school, at Annapolis, in the USMC, etc.

That whole Mockumentary had a very weird, very reminiscent plot arc of “Rudy” but instead of a plucky, hard-working, never-say-die kid from the steel mills you’ve got a white collar, silver spoon, straight from the burbs kid with the most punchable face on the sidelines.

The fact that his take on the story is that walked right into Ken N’s office and said he wanted to be the student coach and basically did the same thing to Chris Partridge in the middle of a coaching mega-clinic is hilarious and indicative of his superiority complex he and his parents have about him.

They definitely designed this to “help” Michigan in the eyes of the public, but there’s no way anyone with an ounce of discernment could believe any of this.

Utopia has shitty winters and mosquitoes?
No such thing. I love the winter. Grab a snowboard or some skis and LIVE.

I'll take Winter over the FL or TX heat all day, every day. Not everyone thinks dripping in sweat from heat and humidity is living the life lol. I can only take so many layers off before I'm put on a list or arrested, but it's not very difficult to layer up to keep warm. I jog my Siberian Husky in the winter all of the time.

Mosquitos are pretty easy to control. Get a fogger, bug spray, some mosquito torches, etc. Gators? Snakes? Poisonous spiders like the Widow? No thanks.

I was gonna ask a few posters whether or not this thing is even worth watching and I believe you gave me the insight I needed. No thanks.

Yeah, it’s a good watch tbh. While it’s somewhat farcical, it’s interesting to see their spin.

While nothing would make me happier than the voiding of their title, the NCAA president went on record after the game to say they won it "fair and square."

Hope it happens, but not holding my breath.
