Lol 48 teams. I see these bozos are living by the "March madness is great so why not do similar for football!" Logic.
Using Sagarins rankings both Wisconsin (,with 5 wins) Nebraska and Rutgers woulda been playoff teams in a 48 team field in 2024. Surely everyone is clamoring for that!
These arrogant fucks get away with a light wrist slap and they are appealing. What a joke.
Are they allowed to switch course and actually Increase or add penalties during the appeal? Not that they would because they showed how spineless they are they will probably side with scUM without much...
In hindsight it shoulda been very easy to see this coming.
3 major money forces were never going to want to admit to the compromising of the sport.
Gambling
TV Networks
Big money corporate sponsors
All are more than happy to see this just go into the good night without having to further...
I think multiple things factored Into it. This being one. Another being the major forces in sports media, they didn't want to be forced to admit how much 3 complete seasons of a sport they covered were actually compromised. Though the findings are damning the punishment is weak enough to where...
The money they have gotten to throw at recruits now will keep the ship afloat more than anything. It takes them from possibly sinking to .500 type seasons annually bad to being about the same mundane ok enough but not really a threat at all they were pre 2020 under Harbaugh. Moore is a average...
Hilarious are the DFBIA acting like scUM was vindicated here. The actual findings were very damning and show a out of control dirty program culture. Problem of course is the COI limp dicked the actual punishment, they lose nothing so they could care less about the findings.
Hopefully they go no better than 7-5 again. Problem is nobody on their schedule can be trusted not to go full stupid against them and they are liable to limp to a 9-3 maybe even 10-2 type season since everything seems to be going their way right now.
Exactly. Recruiting "restrictions" mean absolutely nothing anymore unless they are tagged along with a severe postseason ban or a action that also causes a significant coaching change.
I'm sure the actual impact and enforcement of that is something that dumb and makes no sense. Much like Sherrone 1 extra game that is held off until week 1 of next season.
Players are getting paid at will now and schools are pretty much just doing what they want anyways so yea they need to stop treating college football as some academic level amateur entity, it's just a farce to keep doing so.
Anything less than vacated wins/title and a bowl ban was always going to be celebrated as a huge W by the DFBIA. it doesn't matter what the findings are to them now because they lost nothing
This is not a self sustaining action for the NCAA. Everyone is gonna hammer down on them for being toothless now and this makes them even more irrelevant than before.
The whole sports media is complicit. They pretty much all refused to even acknowledge the possibility that 3 complete seasons were totally compromised, most of them downplayed it as "no big deal" when they were allowed to talk about it.
