Honestly......I don't see the NCAA doing anything at all with this.. Close to absolutely zero actually. IMO it's just reporters trying to do something newsworthy with their being no football and recruiting close to a dead period.
Always possible of course since it’s the NCAA but Harbaugh got a multi year show cause for impermissible recruiting benefits over COVID. Unlikely UM isn’t getting hit here for something more serious. Not to mention, if it was a slap on the wrist, UM would have already agreed to a settlement and moved on here. My guess is vacating of the wins the last few years and by proxy the NC is on the table which is why UM is fighting tooth and nail here.

Some people think Hart was resentful that Moore got the HC job. Apparently it was known that they weren't friendly.

Hart also essentially quit in early 2024 it seems and doesnt have a new job, which is odd.
A little bit, but when you think about it, he was hired by Ron English at Eastern Michigan. Then by Fleck at WMU. Dino Babers at Syracuse, then by Mike DeBoard at IU before landing at Michigan. Three of his five jobs came from Michigan connections. You have to wonder whoever didn't escape to the NFL with Harbaugh and whoever is still at Michigan are fine, right? Anyone else out in limbo that was connected to this probably isn't going to be touched for a bit. Hard to say.

So basically Michigan is admitting a tad bit of wrongdoing but otherwise not accepting responsibility. Cool. The American Way. Actually, to admit even a little bit is rather surprising. I would've suspected they'd go all in and double down.

I think any ND fan's obsession with it comes off as small and petty. We have our own shit to figure out. "Eyes on your own plate". Our last natty wasn't exactly "clean" either if you dig too far.

Michigan won the national title. Move on. Even if the NCAA "hammered" UM for it, who cares? They tried to do the same shit with USC from back in the 2000s and no one considers any of those wins vacated etc.

Again...move on.

Me. I do. That’s why I asked.

The level of deception their scandal entailed was beyond anything that has been publicly reported in modern CFB. It was a HUGE story that has largely just gone away with no real resolution, which I find weird.

Congrats!

I mean..Penn St actively shielded and attempted to cover up a pedophile and his grooming organization for two decades until the doors got blown off of that.

I never cared much about the UM stuff when it happened. ...and don't care at all now. Honestly, until you asked the question..I forgot it had even happened.

UM won the national title. Nothing will ever change that regardless of what does or doesn't happen with the NCAA.

Not football but still a shit hole university.


My buddy’s his coach. We WTF’d him last night. Nothing back yet but I’m sure we weren’t the only text he received on that. Might have to text his wife on this one.

I’m always confused by posts like these… “we have our own shit to figure out”. Huh? I’m a fan, which is short for fanatic. One of the sole purposes of being a fan of one team is talking shit too and about their arrival team. That’s like telling me as a fan to take one game at a time and not to take any play or a game for granted.

Fuck Michigan. What do we have to figure out? I wake up, I eat breakfast, I go to my office and work for a little bit, I go workout, I play with the kids, eat dinner, bang my wife and root for Notre Dame when they play and say Fuck Michigan because I feel like it when I feel like it. “Eyes on my own plate”… the fuck you talking about? My fanship and my eyes getting off my plate doesn’t affect the team at all… just makes my weekends better when I can talk shit to my Michigan fan friends and family.

I was referring to the Notre Dame football program. Not you.
“We”?! So you’re with the program?
Are you unfamiliar with this saying? See above.
Very familiar with the saying, not sure why it applies to being a fan. You can backtrack like you are talking to Coach freeman but let fans be fans.
Sad existence..but whatever.
Sad would be so mentally invested you have to coach speak to fans.

As a fan you would know they use the term "we" when referring to things as the program and University
But you weren’t referring to fans, you were referring to the program, remember? So you are backtracking back to talking to/about fans not the program?
You consider "eyes on our own plate" as coach speak?
Yes, my plate as a fan is all the plates or whatever plate I want to. I won’t tell you how to fan but saying FUCK MICHIGAN or even FUCK THOSE CHEATING BATARDS shouldn’t be beneath you. You are obviously better than that.
