I’m amazed that Michigan would reach out to Cincinnati for a president. Berkeley, Texas, UNC, Vandy, Northwestern, Wisconsin, or Illinois would have made more sense.
Likewise I’m shocked that Florida, a school on the rise, would pick Ono before the announcement. Wonder if there’s a super secret dump clause in the contract.

I like to take super secret dumps.
They really aren't secret for long, though.

I think everyone that skated these last few years will factor in. The NCAA has to recognize that Jim Harbaugh took literally everyone involved (minus the vacuum guy) to the NFL. Then just as the ship is about to go below the water the president jumps in a life boat too.

Everyone is attempted to skirt their responsibility in this scandal. Well that’s going to leave the NCAA no choice but to punish the program. So anyone like “you can’t punish the kids” can fuck right off because those responsible should’ve stayed and got their lick too.

I remember when the NFL punished Pryor and Tressel both. Would love to see that continue here.

I still think Weiss/practice footage is the real scandal and retardo Stallions was trying to fill the void that was left rebuilding their video library/taking a different or larger approach. Stallions falls on the sword while the real issue is much larger than video taping the opposing team signals (which is still terrible). Just my two cents, I'm known to be retarded too so take it fwiw.

If someone DOES break out the old “punishing the kids” trope it would be the most disingenuous argument in sports history, and yes that is a mouthful, but in this case it’s accurate.

The NCAA has never shied away from punishing the kids, why would they shy away from it now? Most cases in the past (to my recollection) were about impermissible benefits. Specific kids did something wrong. There were times when they hammered the school in question with sanctions that negatively affected all of the kids, not just the rule breakers. And for almost every other scandal in history, there was no transfer portal (though in some cases they did allow immediate transfers). And in most cases, the rule breakers were long gone before the sanctions came down.

This is a case where the institution didn’t just turn a blind eye; they ran the operation

And every kid there knew or should have known

And every kid who has joined since knew what they were joining

I am sickened by talk that a 2 year post season ban is the minimum acceptable punishment

They deserve the death penalty. Yes yes yes we all know the ncaa will never do that again; but we also know they deserve it

At the very very least they should get a year of post season ban for every B1G championship stolen. That’s a bare minimum of three.

I would be ok if they just left a smoldering crater where the big hole used to be

How about 2010 Buckeyes? They punished the players 2-10 games (depending on the player, how much he took, etc.), AND they took 2010 from Ohio State, and 2012 post-season. They punished the kids who deserved it AND they punished the kids who didn't deserve it.

With today's transfer rules, the only way a punishment on a team actually hurts the kids is when you have a kid who grew up as a fan of a specific team, and all he dreamed of is playing for that team, and now he plays for that team, and now you're making him choose between a post-season or continuing to play for that team, that's just going to be a dead duck on the field. But, fuck those kids..

As for the NFL punishing the players/coaches... I don't see it happening. I've been surprised many times, but I don't see this being a thing. The NFL is about making money, and they maybe rather sweep this under the rug. BUT, they really should support their free minor league system. I just don't think they will.

Ono left UC in 2016 and spent six years at the University of British Columbia before taking the UM job. Seems like 4-6 years is about how long he can keep the grift going before having to move on.

I've been told that he approached Ohio State when Drake announced that he was leaving but was pretty much told to go fuck himself over the crap that he pulled at UC. As Cinci said, I'm shocked that tsun would hire him. He'd never been President or even Provost at another AAU school. Even without the football scandal, that place was way over his head. I guess he's a hell of a schemer when it comes to applying though. I'm just glad that he burned his bridges with us so that we knew to dodge his bullshit. tsun fucked around and found out.

Yea this isn't a case of a couple players getting secret bags, it coming out 10 years later then the NCAA throwing down the hammer suddenly.

This is a institutional cheating scandal where the institution was both involved and involved in trying to cover it up.

There is no past comparison to this specific case. There will of course be a ton of disingenuous arguments and comparisons flung by scUM and their defenders in the media though once the ball drops.
