2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

“However, the panel determined that a postseason ban would reduce the networks’ ratings, so that was off the tableunfairly penalize student-athletes for the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer associated with the Michigan football program.”

Money talks. Everything else walks.

I will say this... my sense of frustration is certainly aggravated by the fact I'm a Buckeye, but if this was any other school, I'd still be able to make the argument above. I simply do not understand the COI's failure to see that. I suppose they'd rest on "there was not any ineligible players, so vacating wasn't in play" but, that's beside the point as argued above, and also, you've done it before without ineligible players in other circumstances, one of which the NCAA had no frigging jurisdiction over (which is why the wins were restored). Jurisdiction isn't an issue here.

A total of 14 years show cause for Hairball reveals that he is the most corrupt and compromised head coach in sports history. Yet, the NCAA let's him keep his *title.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Does memory serve that there's another investigation still going on? I know that CMU is, but I thought there was one more thing with scUM... maybe I'm thinking about Weiss.. and there won't be NCAA action out of that, I'd imagine.

I'm all in for a go fund me to finance Akron's lawsuit against the ncaa.

And he's too fucking stupid to have any self-awareness about it. Never been an NFL fan but rooting against the Chargers is my new thing.

The lesson we learned today kids is that our parents lied to us. Cheaters really do prosper.

The NCAA has decided to benefit itself, rather than getting justice for everyone else.

This is way worse than illegally paying players. You still have to do the work to develop and coach those players. Ask A&M how paying a roster with shit coaching works out.

Now I'm going to be wondering if every single CFB game I'm watching is tainted somehow.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

That’s it. I’ve decided that I’m just going to get tix to the game this year and upper deck all the shitters in their stadium.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

Exactly. The scouting they did is "illegal" That alone means it confers a benefit beyond what the Rules say are permissible. I mean, you're not wrong about intent. It bolsters the argument, for sure. But I don't think you even need to get to intent.

And it was a bunch of lawyers on the COI?

Unfucking believable.

I may be crucified for saying this, but I suspect Bo is too.

I truly wonder how much of the decision not to punish Michigan could be tied to legal implications when it comes to sports wagering.

I’d imagine there were some class action lawsuits on deck, had the NCAA vacated wins and plainly stated the cheating altered outcomes of games and therefore impacted money placed on the games.

By taking the stance they did, I think the NCAA navigated really choppy waters, and bailed one of their “cash cows” out….$20-$25M is nothing compared to the damages they could’ve accrued in lawsuits and legal fees.

 

[Steve19]

This is a disgusting outcome. I keep thinking of all the players and partners who had their personal health data and images violated as part of the wider cheating scandal and violations of interstate computer crimes. Stalions was not the entire case and breaking it down into pieces as they have is unacceptable. The NCAA caved to threats of legal action, lack of cooperation, and revenue implications.

The NCAA response is quite simply, "We have no honor. We are feckless and toothless."

Here is what all other universities can take away from this. The NCAA is a feckless and toothless organization. Universities should refuse to cooperate with investigations and threaten legal action at all times during the investigation.

Ohio State should take immediate steps to step away from the NCAA and work with other B1G and SEC teams to form an alternative.

uhm... what about the class action waiting on deck for the opposite... Vegas, amongst others probably lost a shitload based on the cheating.

Maybe go 90/10 towards a GoFund Me for the victims of Weiss and his schoolboy hacking to file civil suits against the university directly...
