I just remembered something... I had a friend who went to *ichigan. She was cool, otherwise. Big fan of them and their sports teams, though. We kinda lost touch about 8-10 years ago - no reason, as far as I know. But during the whole tattoo-gate thing she was so happy that Ohio State was getting punished for cheating. I said, yeah, you gotta punish Ohio State for this, but, technically, every team is getting some impermissible benefits at some level. I know players at Ball State, for example, are receiving free lunches from fans. "Not my team," she'd say. "Our team does everything by the book."
I don't want to be a dick to her about this. I don't think we've talked since 2021. But I also kinda want to. The fact that the most high-and-mighty fanbase is for the dirtiest program is delicious.
