In today's game, punishing the team is no longer punishing the players. They can transfer out to a team that isn't being punished. No one is stuck playing for that team. So NCAA's claim that they didn't want to punish current players is boof.

As for the for-reals reason they didn't punish the cheaters, remember that the Big Ten just signed a contract with the TV networks for a bazillion dollars. The TV networks didn't want their product damaged. And *ichigan is part of their product. They stepped in and said that *ichigan needs to be able to maintain their standing. Wave their hand a little and tell the empire that these aren't the droids you're looking for.

The NCAA showed that they're gutless turds and aren't needed. And that's that.

But we really knew this all along. Michigan pulled the deflect defense, which works all the time with the NCAA. Never comply.

I assume CBA is a collective bargaining agreement. I'm not smart enough to know what that has to do with restricting things.
But that's fine.
I still think that if someone wants to restrict which team a player is on, we'd have to make a true minor league system. Take the teams away from the schools. But of course, I'm sure none of us wants that.

yes CBA = Collective Bargaining Agreement It gives the worker a voice in what rights they give away in return for whatever benefits they bargain for. To have one, they must be an employee and a union member as I understand basic labor law.

People wanting to restrict movement of college football players as the market stands right now are advocating disregarding basic concepts of labor law.

Put the word "coal miner" in for college football player.
-A group of mine owners gets together and decides that paying so much for labor is bad for business
-They buy some politicians
-The politicians come up with a scheme, in the best interest of the miners themselves of course, to restrict movement/income.

That's collusion and that's been settled since the late 19th century. You can't do this shit to people.

It makes zero difference what the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL or whoever else do. They have the employee/employer structure, unions and a CBA. College football does not. The players are just individual contributors, like coal miner, that get to choose which mine they work for and are free to change mines as often as they please if the money is better at another mine.

Can we blame the NCAA for their ludicrous punishment? Why in the history of punishing teams, did they not give a fuck about "punishing the current players" concerning Michigan? They didn't give a fuck before and they certainly didn't give a fuck after.
That's the real crime.

I still think there were money forces breathing down the NCAAs neck because they didn't want to have to actually admit that multiple seasons of the sport were completely compromised. The slap on the wrist punishment basically allowed everything to be laughed off and never seriously discussed again.
