We're talking about making everything reviewable

If you make non-calls reviewable, then the number of times they buzzed down in the past is not a precedent that matters. At all.

Ever hear the phrase, "You could call holding on every play"? I have. I've heard it from people who actually played in the trenches in college. I bet most of us have. Do we really want to live in a world where they DO call holding on every play?

Imagine the next step, where the offensive line can't do anything effective enough where there ISN'T holding.

Hell no! It's too much fun watching the Pedster Cult whine and cry about it because we all know that their perfect, angelic, made in JoePa's image players would NEVER stoop so low as to commit a holding penalty.

Why hasn't the NOA leaked?

I'm beginning to think that no journalist has actually seen the draft or final at all, let alone have an actual copy of it.

Yeah - the rumor was that some journalist had it, or maybe just parts of it. He was checking with "someone" to see what he was allowed to release. But hell, that was 30+ days ago. If he had something, he'd do what he can to release it before someone else gets it.

I know a lot of people seem to put a lot of faith in this PremierDrum guy. I'll believe the bomb is being dropped when I see the mushroom cloud.

August 25, 2024: The NCAA delivers the formal NOA to Michigan.

August 28, 2024: Matt Hayes of USA Today writes an article entitled Michigan football's once spotless reputation in tatters after decisions to win at all cost. Here are the highlights: Michigan is a "run-of-the-mill cheat" that played a "shell game ... a short con" using "deception ... flouting of rules ... outright cheating" to give themselves "an undeniable competitive advantage", then employed "layers of shameless defiance" in "misleading" NCAA investigators.

I'm just speculating here, but I don't think that Matt Hayes writes that article unless he has a pretty damned good idea of what's in the NOA.

Agree that we likely won't know much until either the 90 days runs out for TCUN to respond to the NOA, or their season goes south and they settle with the NCAA. I think the reason people have confidence in PD ( especially here on BP ) is because we have several of our good members who know him personally and vouch for his " bonafides" and he also isn't just hiding behind a screen name. He has been open about his real identity, given his history in investigative journalism, and while not naming names, says where his sources are coming from.
