Couldn’t we just ask the big ten offices if we can send people to their games?Agreed.
Here's how you keep a cheating team out of the playoffs: (I'm going to make this more generic to make it appear I don't have a dog in the fight)
1. Beat them on the field.
2. Have the cheaters excuse themselves from any post-season.
3. Have the conference make them ineligible from post-season.
4. Have the NCAA make them ineligible from post-season.
5. Have the playoff committee not rank them high enough.
So, in a perfect world, we'd vote for #1. But we can't always rely on this one. Plus, their cheating may be deeper than we know, making this a very difficult thing to do.
#2 isn't going to happen. In their eyes, a vacated win is still better than a win that never happened.
#4 can't happen. If what people here are saying, the NCAA must give the cheaters 90 days to respond to a notice of allegations, which hasn't even been sent, yet. So #4 isn't going to save us this year.
#5 is possible, but I don't believe it will happen. We're at the mercy of the news outlets, and it's becoming painfully obvious that the news outlets aren't jumping in with any opinions on this. At least, not to the scale that they should.
#3 is possible, but I'm beginning to think that the conference will side with the team. Innocent until proven guilty, or something.
Hey - I just thought of something. Since the ref fund we use for Penn State games obviously isn't doing anything, can we put that toward a ref fund against M*ch*gan? I mean, get a ref who thinks it's bullshit that M*ch*gan is allowed to play, and he'd probably go for it. Maybe even a whole team of refs who think M*ch*gan is just lucky to be playing, and it might be fun to watch the stadium burn down (after our guys are safely on their way to Columbus, I mean).
Like a nudge nudge hey if you aren’t going to rule on this can we level the playing field here?
