2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

[billmac91]

It’s OK guys…..Western Michigan is about to get nuked.

What did Shoelaces do?

Gave impermissable gear to recruits and lied about it. Recruiting violations and failure to cooperate.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

The NCAA just openly admitted the only tangible thing they can touch if you cheat is a coach.

PSA to the entire sport...

 

[Poe McKnoe]

What did Shoelaces do?

Probably the whistleblower. He must have admitted involvement so he got penalized.

It's pretty simple - just follow the money.

UM generates add revenue for the NCAA. Ban them from the post season and that revenue doesn't exist. The fines are simply a percentage of revenue that would otherwise not have flowed into the pot.

Absolutely nothing happened here that would discourage any team from doing the same in exchange for a National Championship.

So now everyone is free to cheat as long as you can push the coaches who largely orchestrated it out before any investigation can be completed

No, you can keep 1 of the coaches as the head coach.

Glad this is behind us.

Time to prepare for a curb-stomping from Evil Coach Day!

Yea and then he will get another game suspended....but not until week 1 of next season against some MAC type team

I mean Ohio State probably makes just as much revenue and they didn't have any trouble bringing the hammer down. Sure hope Bjork is on the NCAA's ass about reinstating those wins from the 2010 season.

An estimated 20 million dollar total fine for a team that is paying 3 million this year to a quarterback who wont start. Quick call to the second richest boyfriend in the world and it's all good.

Premierdrum was probably spot on the entire way until the folks who eat first out of the trough got the final say.

Blah, so does anyone else in the playoff.

He also has to attend an NCAA Regional Rules seminar at his own expense.

I’m not joking, he gets to keep his multi-million dollar job with a total of 3 suspended games, but has to go to something to review the rules like somebody getting a driving penalty.

Ohio State didn't even fight it. scUM did on what appears to be the "think of the innocent's" platform and the COI completely bought it.

The summary of infractions and the punishments are not even close to lining up here

Has Michigan announced when the game is? Obviously they get to choose. Is it their spring game?
