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

Don’t worry, CMU is about to get handed the brunt of the punishment that SCum should have got. What a joke.
The entire MAC will be disbanded, CMU will be shut down as a University, EMU, which had nothing to do with anything, will be cut down to 1 scholarship player...that ought to show 'em!

Not if they go back to cheating, and at this point, why wouldn't they? This is the industrial equivalent of a billion dollar factory repeatedly paying the EPA fine for polluting the water supply because it's infinitely cheaper than actually fixing the chemical leak.
Honestly, what's stopping Stalions from just going to games, doing his filming thing, and giving his data to Michigan? He'll fuckin wear a shirt that says "Cheating in progress" and nothing will happen.

Speaking of the MAC. The NCAA THIS YEAR handed out a postseason ban to Akron(lol) for the actions of past players. What about the kids!!

A postseason ban is required in this case. Michigan’s case is Level I-Aggravated. See Bylaw 19.12.7.1 (establishing that postseason bans are reserved for Level I cases that lack exemplary cooperation and shall be prescribed in Level I-Aggravated cases). Michigan is also a repeat violator. See Bylaw 19.12.6.2 (identifying that repeat violator status is sufficient grounds to prescribe a postseason ban, even in cases where the institution earned exemplary cooperation). Given those facts, a multi-year postseason ban would be appropriate. That said, the NCAA Constitution states, “Division and, as appropriate, conference regulations must ensure to the greatest extent possible that penalties imposed for infractions do not punish programs and studentathletes not involved nor implicated in the infractions.” See NCAA Constitution 4-B-4. The panel determines that a postseason ban would unfairly penalize student-athletes for the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer associated with the Michigan football program. Thus, a more appropriate penalty is an offsetting financial penalty.

Similarly, the new world of college athletics has shifted from scholarship limits to roster spots. The NCAA membership has not yet determined whether roster reductions will replace scholarship reductions as a core penalty, and the panel will not prematurely make that decision on behalf of the membership. Instead, the panel adheres to the percentages contemplated for Level IAggravated scholarship reductions, but converts the penalty to the financial equivalent of what would have been scholarship reductions. Like the postseason ban, a more appropriate penalty is an offsetting financial penalty.

Except they just punished Akron with post-season ban for kids not currently on roster….

Lol literally every what shoulda been major penalty was converted to a financial penalty that the big money donators to the football program have probably already wrote a check to pay. Such a fucking joke

Every postseason ban, by definition, has affected student-athletes that weren’t around during the infractions.

So why now, when transferring is simple, pretend that it would be too severe for the guys at tCun?

Totally ridiculous.

Feels like there was some sort of payoff that happened

I don't want to jump into conspiracy mode but yes the distance between the findings and the punishments is so far apart that you have to at least think some shady dealings swayed things here
