So, here's where I'm at:

Can we blame the NCAA for their ludicrous punishment? Why in the history of punishing teams, did they not give a fuck about "punishing the current players" concerning Michigan? They didn't give a fuck before and they certainly didn't give a fuck after.
That's the real crime.

I still think there were money forces breathing down the NCAAs neck because they didn't want to have to actually admit that multiple seasons of the sport were completely compromised. The slap on the wrist punishment basically allowed everything to be laughed off and never seriously discussed again.

In today's game, punishing the team is no longer punishing the players. They can transfer out to a team that isn't being punished. No one is stuck playing for that team. So NCAA's claim that they didn't want to punish current players is boof.

As for the for-reals reason they didn't punish the cheaters, remember that the Big Ten just signed a contract with the TV networks for a bazillion dollars. The TV networks didn't want their product damaged. And *ichigan is part of their product. They stepped in and said that *ichigan needs to be able to maintain their standing. Wave their hand a little and tell the empire that these aren't the droids you're looking for.

The NCAA showed that they're gutless turds and aren't needed. And that's that.

But we really knew this all along. Michigan pulled the deflect defense, which works all the time with the NCAA. Never comply.

Michigan President Domenico Grasso Calls Warde Manuel “One of the Best Athletic Directors in the Country” Amid Investigation, Scandals​

Michigan president Domenico Grasso gave athletic director Warde Manuel a vote of confidence Thursday despite multiple scandals and an ongoing controversy surrounding an investigation into the Wolverines' athletic department.

Speaking with MLive's Sam Jane after the university's monthly Board of Regents meeting, Grasso called Manuel "one of the best athletic directors in the country." School officials did not discuss the results of Jenner & Block's investigation during the one-hour meeting in Traverse City.



The law firm's investigation centered on two probes: one into former football coach Sherrone Moore's affair with Paige Shiver and another into the culture of Michigan's athletic department under Manuel. When asked whether the university would provide an update on the investigation's findings, Grasso did not give a direct answer.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Free Press' Dave Boucher reported Thursday that Michigan denied a public records request seeking any "findings, conclusions, analysis, deductions or other results" Jenner & Block provided to the university. UM acknowledged the university possesses those records — a shift from its previous position that no such documents existed — but argued they are protected by attorney-client privilege and cannot be released publicly.



Michigan's refusal to release the findings came days after The Wall Street Journal revealed new details from Jenner & Block's investigation, which concluded the university's response to Moore's relationship with Shiver was inadequate and that responsibility for handling misconduct allegations within the athletic department was often unclear.

Just sayin': Manuel may be keeping his job at scUM.

or it's the dreaded vote of confidence

really just depends on how quiet they feel like they can keep him I'd bet.

Remember it took about 30 seconds of seeing that document showing the chick made ~50% more than everyone else before pretty much everyone knew that it went higher than Sherrone, the department knew.

Then we find out that not only was Warde letting Sharrone supervise and determine pay for the chick he wasn't supposed to travel with, he had the compliance officer report to him and not some independent body.

Same concept applies-he isn't doing that by himself. Someone(s) higher than Warde allowed that kind of blatant misalignment occur. There is no way a department head gets to circumvent University risk management protocols by subverting the compliance rep without approval from above.

So, all that said to get back to the point: it just depends on how quiet they can keep him because he was not the ultimate puppet master here.
-He pushes too hard, they close ranks and make him the scapegoat.
-They take him too far, he goes scorched earth, rats everyone out and counter sues them for a massive amount

It's in both their best interests to play nice and make it a mutual parting of the ways with money and NDA's up the ass.

I think the allegation is more that Ono directed the cover up.

Just sayin': Is there really any doubt that the jock sniffer Santa Ono allowed the "blatant misalignment" to occur?
