Because he was taking on the NCAA and sticking up for the players. He was the lone voice in the wilderness screaming that players should be paid.
That's their reason. Seriously. Lol

I cannot wait to see the fallout if the penalties are severe. Their state media has been touting this as a "nothing burger" from day 1 despite everything saying otherwise. How are they going to play it off? The DFBIA fallout is going to be sublime. I'm expecting equal parts disbelief and righteous indignation

Wrong glass, Sir.
That guy is almost there. He just needs to take those last few steps and ask himself who sanctioned the scheme because he was so desperate to start winning so he could jump back to the NFL.

It's like the flip side of the Epstein situation in which folks "in the know" have been saying "it's something huge" and then the powers that be (in some cases the same folks "in the know") came out and said "never mind, nothing to see here." I'll be curious to see if the reaction is similar.

You kids stay off my lawn!
The Wolverine eats its young.
Michigan does not have a live mascot comparable to Ohio's Brutus Buckeye. The Athletic Department has steadfastly maintained that such a symbol is unnecessary and undignified and would not properly reflect the spirit and values of Michigan athletics. Over the years a number of individuals and groups have proposed mascots in a variety of wolverine costumes but the department has refused to sanction them. Instead, it continues to rely on the wolverine itself as the symbol of Michigan sports.

As early as 1861, the students and alumni began referring to themselves as "Wolverines." How the ferocious animal came be associated with the state and adopted as the university mascot remains a bit of a mystery, but there are several theories.
Fielding Yost set out to find a wolverine in 1923, after seeing Wisconsin carry live badgers along with its football team. Yost's desire met with difficulty, as the coach had problems finding a dealer of live wolverines. After a letter to 68 trappers yielded no mascot for his team, Yost expanded his wish to any wolverine, alive or dead.
Yost was finally able to obtain a mounted wolverine from the Hudson's Bay Fur Company in the fall of 1924. Captain Bob Brown posed with taxdermied wolverine on Ferry Field in 1925, improbably holding the ferocious critter on a leash.
Yost's quest for a live wolverine would continue.
In 1927, 10 wolverines were obtained from Alaska and placed in the Detroit Zoo. On big football days, two of these wolverines were brought into Michigan Stadium and carried around in cages.

However, the animals grew larger and more ferocious, and as Yost stated, "It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them, and those designs were by no means friendly." Therefore, the practice of bringing wolverines into the stadium had to be discontinued after only one year. However, one of the wolverines was not returned to the Detroit Zoo. Instead, "Biff" was put in a cage at the University of Michigan Zoo where students were able to visit him at all times. It is not known how long Biff survived or remained at the campus zoo, but by the the late 1930s Yost was in search of a new wolverine mascot.

He's lying, and trying to further the "no competitive advantage" narrative. See, they were only slightly above .500 when he knew every play, no punishment needed.

I have misplaced my pants.
I'd like to propose a punishment for them:
1. Vacate the wins from 2021 to 2023.
2. Instead of post-season bans, *ichigan should have to provide 6 copies of their playbook: 4 to the other team, 1 to the TV crew, and 1 to the referees. These should be provided a minimum of 2 weeks before the game. Since no one supposedly knows who the referee crew will be ahead of time, they go to whoever schedules the referees. When he schedules a certain crew, he gives them the playbook. Next *ichigan will be required to announce their plays a minimum of 30 seconds prior to snapping the ball. Theoretically, the other team will have had enough time in 2 weeks to know the playbook well enough to know what calls to make against *ichigan's plays. I think I'd make it one nerd's job to memorize the playbook and we'd all have a plan on how to stop each play. That nerd would have the chance to sit in the booth with a buzzer to challenge plays he feels didn't match the call. And he gets infinity of these calls, until he gets 3 wrong, or 5 or something... pick a number. My point is that I want to see how many games they can win when the other team knows their plays. They claimed all this time that knowing the plays isn't a thing that matters. So let's let them prove it. Here's what might make them go for this: every win they get in the next 3 years gives them another win from 2021-2023. Which win do they get back? Rank the teams they beat by number of wins they got that season. The first win with these rules gets them the win over the team with the fewest number of wins. The next win gets them a win over the next team, and so on.
I'm guessing that they won't get half of their wins back.
After 3 years of this, stick a pineapple up their asses.
