Some 11W posts dealing with the expectations of undereducated lunatics like us:

…Brohio recently said this about 22Buck. It's worth repeating since plenty of people are coming at him recently: "...when this is all over, Me, the (
Buckeye) Scoop guys, PD
(Premier Drum), Spiro, and 22buck can all get in a thread and post the receipts of who we’ve been talking to. I’ll tell you right now, nobody…and I mean
nobody including me, has spoken with more important and relevant people to this saga than 22Buck. It will make 11W’s collective head fucking explode if you knew who he’s been able to get to. I’ve seen the receipts. You don’t know any better so I’m not trying to come down too hard on you, but at the risk of you embarrassing yourself in the future, you should stop now."

I tend to not argue with or ask sensitive questions of people who are better connected than me and willing to share information for free. 22 seems to have the highest-placed sources out of the four (per PD), and has alluded to the fact that the punishments in this NOA are likely to be severe enough that adding the practice footage would amount to basically nothing.
PD is probably our next best sourced person, and he has told us of a minimum framework which included some vacated wins, and came from a different arm of NCAA enforcement (the NR people are a different group than the COI, though it's possible they share notes).
Then we have the laypeople who hype each other up by talking about what
should happen, which inevitably devolves into people talking about death penalties, forfeiting seasons, and other exciting things with no basis in reality.
When our well-sourced people come back to re-gage expectations, the lunatic fringe tend to get upset and start demanding answers as to
why their personal wish-list isn't going to happen, and the people in the know disappear for a while because the mob is turning on them for not telling them what they want to hear.
TL;DR, I agree with you. We should be grateful that 22, PD, Mr. Moon, and Brohio are letting us in on the information they have, and they're doing it for free! We should collectively focus on being thankful instead of nagging them for information they don't have (or have chosen not to share to protect a source).

There's no question I've tried to correct some of the bad information that's been floating around, particularly when people have been incorrectly fingered for things they didn't do. For example, another site has done multiple podcasts over the last year with the headline "Michigan Whistleblower Revealed!".
None of the names they've given in any of these shows have been right, including Mike Hart, who they've "outed" on a couple of occasions. Bad reporting shouldn't subject Hart and others to the risk of torment from the Michigan fanbase. But setting the record straight has rubbed some people the wrong way.
I would also like to correct a misperception on my expectations for sanctions. I have never said Michigan would get off easy. In fact, I've never made a prediction at all because I don't know what the sanctions will be. No one does. I have said on multiple occasions that the NCAA's case is extremely strong. I've known for some time how the investigation unfolded and what was found.
It's incredibly well documented and very damning. But no one knows how the sanctions will play out, including me
