So, much like their entire program, Jimbo gets to grab some glory based on somebody else's accomplishments? That's on brand.

Harbaugh can piss off all the in state coaches he wants, who needs them when you have the rich talent mine of the north east!

I doubt Stanford would put up with his shit for more than his usual 3 years.
My guess is, somewhere like WVU is his ideal situation (sorry Gee). Low expectations, and "quirky" is a plus.
I pulled wikipedia's data and added 2 columns. I get slightly different #s starting from 1918, but didn't check Wiki's accuracy.
CSV from Wiki, and massaged excel spreadsheet.
Hopefully it helps with any future data entry.

They also had Nebraska kicked out of AAU within a year of joining Conference.
I suppose Corn had it coming... but I don't see anyone else getting kicked out, and reportedly they weren't only school ranked in the 100s.

Nobody else is recruiting on the level of OSU, Clemson, and Bama. That probably won't change until we beat OSU, play for a B1G title, make a playoff appearance, etc.
It won't change even if that happens. College football is well past a crossroads where every program had to make up its minds. OSU decided it's a "good old boys'" business, where its coaches and players are untouchable, they cover things up with a very slick PR campaign, and they're best buddies with the NCAA. They run their football program like a successful organized crime ring -- corrupt, territorial, but also very savvy. I'd marvel at it if it wasn't for the depth of institutional corruption; when they can't keep a lid on everything, they literally pick and choose their scandals and punishments, and the media is more than happy to lap it up.
I won't pretend Michigan's players aren't held to different standards as the general student body, but Michigan is still an academic institution first, and some of that bleeds over into recruiting and retention challenges OSU simply doesn't worry about. We've lost out on recruits due to academic eligibility. We've suspended key players for meaningful durations over academic infractions, something OSU probably thinks is hilarious. Harbaugh's crew has made some boneheaded mistakes but overall they get close to most out of what they're forced to work with.
One upset isn't going to change all that. There are massive institutional differences between the two schools; OSU is still a large academic institution, but when it comes to football, functionally it is now a football program with a school arbitrarily attached. It's no exaggeration to say that by far the most powerful government official in that state is the OSU football coach.
It's killing my interest in the sport, really. The games get more interesting further down, but for all but a few programs there's nothing at the top left to play for. The business of football has become so cynical and insular that the outcomes are usually decided well before the players even start the season, and if Michigan decides it's going to go the OSU route I'd be all. . . okay? It's hard to care about the "rivalry" now, but if it goes from an annual curb-stomping to not one but two huge faceless, corrupt, politically well-connected crime families throwing their bottomless resources at each other, that's not going to save it for me.
What a little bitch

Staff at Choate Rosemary Hall love him, and he's making serious inroads at Groton and St. George's,.

How do they reconcile the fact that we literally turned Tressell into the ncaa. All the wheels were spinning before yahoo "broke" the story. If we were even a fraction of what they say we are, we would have flushed those emails down the memory hole, and our "bagmen" would have bought the grad student's silence. Instead, we self-reported, and when the story became public, held that shitshow of a "hope he doesn't fire me" press conference followed by months of Tressell twisting in the wind when everybody in power at the university knew damn well he would ultimately be fired.

Their PR courses are all online. Subpar quality of education. As such, our PR looks good.

I love how hes counting bowl games as OOC games as if they were scheduled purposely by the school.......Their record in said games is also laughable. Very on brand to pimp games you mostly got wrecked in.
