You kids stay off my lawn!
I took the football refereeing course at OSU - pass the final and you're certified by OHSAA - and earned some extra bucks doing jr/sr high school/intramurals/rec league games. 1. Most coaches do not fully know the rules. 2. Most players have little more knowledge of the rules than from what they've seen on TV. I would imagine that the Michigan players are no different. The logical assumption would be that they were able to read the other guy's mail was a bit of luck, or a coach/assistant coach who was really smart figured them out during the first half. They probably also assumed that the other side was trying to do the same thing. This falls squarely on the coach/coaches.That one isn't fair. Players didn't make the decision to organize a cheating scheme, the coaches did. Adults. Expecting players to blow the whistle on their coaches is not reasonable. They're kids. They don't want to lose their scholarship, etc..
Besides, letting them leave would reduce that team to scrubs and walk ons. Any player worth anything would be gone - let them go.
