The delusion begins at the top....



Everyone understands what Michigan is all about - arrogance, entitlement, living in the past, refusal to change with the times.

Well that is exactly why they will never get better .....

OSU doesn't de-value academics. The expectation is to win on the football field, academics and in life.

If the outlook from the top is, education is the be all end all, there isn't a holistic approach to football.

For example in non covid times, most programs are hitting the weights, running and drilling. Meatchicken is pasta making in Italy.

Maybe I’m missing the sarcasm font... but Webber did take cash (“loans”) from Martin, and Howard was also in the Fab 5.

REPORT: WEBBER GOT MONEY FROM BOOSTER

University of Michigan basketball standouts Chris Webber and Maurice Taylor each received more than $100,000 from a school athletic booster while they played for the Wolverines, the Detroit Free Press reported today.

Citing sources familiar with the dealings, the Free Press reported that the players accepted the money from Ed Martin, a booster at the center of an NCAA investigation into the program.

Booster allegedly loaned money to Wolverines

A Michigan booster accused of illegally lending $600,000 to Chris Webber and three other Wolverines basketball players, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a federal conspiracy charge.

Ed Martin, who prosecutors say loaned the money to help conceal profits from gambling operations at Detroit-area auto plants, faces 2½ to three years in prison as part of a plea deal. He also agreed to cooperate with the government.

Martin, his wife and Clarence Malvo were charged with conspiracy to engage in illegal gambling and could have faced up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

Martin also faced seven other counts -- having an illegal gambling business, conspiracy to launder money, three counts of laundering money and two counts of using money from illegal activities.

The government said the payments were $280,000 for Webber; $160,000 for Traylor; $105,000 for Taylor; and $71,000 for Bullock, who is playing professionally in Europe.

University of Michigan basketball scandal

Self-imposed
By the fall of 2002, it had become clear that Michigan's basketball program was guilty of major violations. In response, Michigan decided to impose its own sanctions on the program. Initially, Michigan announced it would forfeit every game in which the four players appeared. On November 7, 2002; Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman and athletic director Bill Martin announced that the school was imposing sanctions of its own on the basketball program. Among them:
  • No postseason play in 2002–03, even though the players who took Martin's money were no longer at the school.
  • The school vacated the entire 1992–93 season and every game it played from the 1995–96 season through the 1998–99 season. This included the 1997 National Invitation Tournament title and the 1998 Big Ten Tournament title. It also vacated its two Final Four games in 1992 and its entire NCAA tournament record in 1993, 1996 and 1998. There is a difference between forfeiting a game and vacating a game; a vacated game does not result in the other school being credited with a win. This included virtually the entire career of Fisher's successor, Brian Ellerbe. However, it did not include all games that Webber played or was eligible because all but the final two games of his freshman year were retained.
  • Returning $450,000 received from the NCAA for postseason play in 1992, 1993, 1996 and 1998
  • Banners commemorating the 1992 and 1993 Final Four runs, the 1997 NIT title and 1998 Big Ten Tournament title would be removed from the rafters at Crisler Arena.
  • Two years' probation.
Coleman described what happened as "wrong, plain and simple." She also said, "I am determined that nothing like this will ever happen again at Michigan."

At 8:00 A.M. that same day, the four banners were removed from the rafters. Four days later, the athletic department officially deleted all mention of Webber, Taylor, Traylor and Bullock from the school's athletic records. These included Traylor's MVP awards in the 1997 NIT and 1998 Big Ten Tournament, as well as Bullock's standing as the Big Ten's all-time leader in 3-point field goals and the school's third all-time leading scorer and all-time leader free throws made. The deletions came because the payments may have compromised their amateur status. Several players not implicated in the scandal continue to be listed among the school's honorees such as Rob Pelinka (Walter Byers Scholarship, 1993), Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose (All-American, 1994) and Jerod Ward (Big Ten All-Tournament Team, 1998).[43]

Michigan finished the 2002–2003 season with a 17–13 record but sat out both that year's NCAA and NIT tournaments due to the self-imposed postseason ban.

A fully operational recruiting setup brought Michigan this bounty of cornerbacks and defensive tackles. After a three-month-long fall camp Michigan still thought that these guys could play press man. It turns out Chris Partridge left for Ole Miss not to be DC, but to be an assistant to DJ Durkin, of all people. Michigan was down three scores in the fourth quarter and still strolling up to the line, content to blow thirty seconds on a running clock.

Michigan has disastrous recruiting at key spots, can't retain coaches, can't run tempo, can't get lined up against tempo, can't hang on to the same running approach for more than half a season. This is systemic and goes back to the head coach. We've seen most of these issues over the last few years. They were covered by a lot of talent. Now they're not. The usual flush-and-reset coordinators that buys you some more time has already happened.

I'm going to assume this is one gentleman talking out of his butt and that Warde Manuel is not going to find a Michigan Man to do Michigan Things like always lose to Ohio State. This is because there is literally no "Michigan Man" who is even 1% qualified for the job. Michigan's series of failed coaches has created literally no coaching tree. The most plausible Michigan-associated coach who isn't a million years old may literally be first-year Indiana offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan. Scot Loeffler, who is 3-10 at Bowling Green and has been in charge of some of the worst Power 5 offenses of the past decade, is the main (only?) competition unless you think John Harbaugh is achievable, which nope.

So there's where we are. The great hope is pretty much done, and if things have gone like they have over the past 15 years the program will either hire a deeply incompetent makeweight or try to go outside the family and eat the interloper at the first sign of weakness.

Nicole Aurebach took something of a shot at Harbaugh tonight on The B1G Show.

When asked where Michigan goes from here she said; "That's the million dollar question. Well actually more than that ..." (or words to this effect.)

Can only be a reference to Harbaugh's salary.

They've spent 6 years paying their coach a Saban salary for late-era Llllllllloyd results that are actually diminishing into Brady Hoke territory.
