Preferably for me personally, they would report the penalties to the public before The Game so UM can be humiliated by the media over and over before and during the game. The media's narrative will switch to focus on their rampant corruption, and they will pile on, after severe penalties are announced as final.

But of course, they won't announce until a couple days after The Game. This is taking too long. I know what I am talking about.

Hopefully those few days will be the worst in their program's history, including a loss to the good guys.

Maybe, but that would just set them up for a win. Not having that.

No weight at all for the days when scUM was beating teams like Albion, Case, Carlisle & Beloit (sounds like a law firm) to win national titles.

You forgot Ann Arbor High School.
I'm okay starting the count in 1950 or 1951. What's the age of a football fan where you're confident that 99% of fans are younger than him? 80? For an 80-year-old, college football is 75 years old, if he's been aware of it since he was 5. So, that puts the beginning of college football for 99% of college football fans at 1950 or later.
If you want to convince me that anything before 1950 is relevant to anyone more than that 1%, you've got a pretty steep uphill path to climb.

I think the 50s still more resembled old old college football than what ended up becoming what we have now. The 60s is when "modern" college football really began to start forming.

Anything pre 1950 is definitely very whacky, more and more so the further you go back.

The old days aren‘t completely irrelevant, but they have less value than the poll era. That’s why when I was rating teams based on all-time performances, titles from pre-1900 counted as 10% of a current title, from 1900-1911 was 25%, 1912-1923 was 50%, and 1924-1935 was 75%. The polls, the Heisman Trophy, and other major Bowl games all started in the mid-thirties, so I stated giving full value in 1936.

And yes, that can interpreted in a couple of ways.
