With all that has been revealed and is yet to be revealed in the next two weeks, with the advantages Michigan has gained and which may yet to be fully exhausted, with the clear animosity that is being generated on all sides - I find it difficult to envision what it would look like for Michigan to take the field in Happy Valley in two weeks.
This is an increasintly crazy world. These events are unprecedented. I would be genuinely concerned for the well being of Michigan players (perhaps concerned is not the right word). And I would certainly be concerned for the safety of OSU players in Michigan Stadium.
Multiple people within the sport have referenced serous compromises to the very integrity of the game. If all we are hearing is true - in particular the recent post from 11W - what is the argument that Michigan should be allowed to continue their season?
To discuss it in the context of how well they have played and how badly they have beaten their opponents, to talk about what is at stake in terms of championships, completely misses the point.
The NCAA can't do it. The Big Ten can. Santa Ono can.
(I'm pretty worked up. Just had to post this and see how it read.)
I'm with @BB73 - make them forfeit their four conference wins before the story broke. That knocks them out of winning the B1G and making the CFP. The other teams want to play their scheduled games - give them an opt out like was given to Sparty - but don't just take games away from them because of these Cheaters Up North Towards Saginaw.
Then you have time to decide about 2021, 2022, and future sanctions.
