I have misplaced my pants.
I can't find a fault in your ideas. But I'd say that scholarship reductions may not do much in this era of NIL. What is going to hurt is the post-season ban. Who would go to a team that has no chance to get into the playoffs? Little brother has a chance. Wisconsin has a chance. Even Indiana has a chance. (Just kidding - Indiana doesn't have a chance.)Minimum framework for me:
Vacating all wins/championships from 2021-23 (ALL of them)
2 year postseason ban (would prefer 3 to match the number of seasons they fabricated)
Heavy show causes for any coaches involved, including Cryin' Sherrone Moore
Sherrone Moore penalized so heavily tsun has no choice but to fire his ass into outer space
Lifetime ban from CFB for Cheatin' Jim Harbaugh (I'd love to see the NFL take some action, too, but I'm not holding my breath)
Hefty suspensions (can't land on a number right now) for any coaches currently on staff with involvement
That's a MINIMUM for me. Anything less is a sham. The NCAA needs to FLEX here to deter any other "rouge" programs from trying to emulate what these cheating bastards pulled off. Do I think they'll go to the lengths they should? Nah.
I'd also like to see scholarship reductions, strict probationary terms, and fines.
I'd add a pretty big penalty to CMU coaching staff. If I'm Pettiti (or however you spell his name), I'm giving the HC of CMU a lifetime ban from playing any Big Ten team. In fact, any school that hires the CMU coach is banned from playing Big Ten teams in any sport. If you want to play MSU again, get him off your payroll completely.
