Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

Last night's posts apparently touched a nerve, so what the hell?
"Nobody we talked to saw this coming. The fact that the NCAA leaked to a couple of Bucknut bloggers tells you everything you need to know about this 'investigation.'" -near future Chris Balas, probably
The sanctions are coming down - very soon - and these people will continue melting down.
They'll make fun of my (gorgeous, I might add) hair, they'll call me a nerd. They'll email me pictures of my house and text me weird things about my family. It won't change their outcome.
Boob Salsa et al will act shocked, and they'll soothe the masses with cries of "OVERREACH!" and promises to fight back. It won't change their outcome.
Uncle T will flail about, pissing wild conspiracy theories into the wind. His delusions could put the Day family and others back into real danger. His "binders" will be as empty as his intellect. It won't change their outcome.
Warde will buy as much time as possible - at least as long as his keycard works - bloviating about "examining options" and "unfair practices." It won't change their outcome.
They'll appeal, and might be granted a temporary stay of enforcement for some sanctions. It won't change their outcome, but it could push their clock back even further.
For our maize and blue counterparts who lurk here at the grownup's table: The sanctions are coming very, very soon.
Strip out every bit of fandom, homerism, and all of our reporting. Factually speaking:
- The charges against the university, former coaches, and the current head coach are serious.
- The university did not self report violations. Not only did they fail to cooperate, multiple staffers - including your current head coach - actively destroyed evidence or otherwise hindered the investigation.
- There is contemporaneous reporting that on the day NCAA enforcement staff notified UM that they would be on campus for interviews, Harbaugh sent his coaches out on the road to recruit.
- They thumbed their noses as the process and publicly ridiculed investigators throughout.
- The NCAA received a full investigative file from a UM whistleblower, giftwrapped and ready to go.
- The scheme, for which enforcement staff received planning documents, refined assets, ticket transactions, and activity logs, impacted the outcome of games.
- Many aspects of "the framework" sit squarely within the core penalties for the aggravated charges UM et al are facing.
- UM added a 13th game to next season, in Germany, against a shitty MAC school?
- You're screwed.
- Go Bucks.
Google AI: Under normal circumstances, Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams are allowed a maximum of 12 regular season games.
However, there's a specific exception that allows for a 13th regular season game:
Just sayin': I think premierdrum is incorrect on this one. A 13th game is only allowed if you go to Hawaii and play the Rainbow Warriors. If scUM plays a shitty MAC school game in Germany in 2026 it will count as one their 12 allowed regular season games.

However, there's a specific exception that allows for a 13th regular season game:
- The Hawaii Exemption: Any FBS team that schedules and plays a game in Hawaii (or Alaska or Puerto Rico, though Hawaii is the practical application) is allowed to schedule an extra, 13th regular season game.
