Anything short of voiding the games Stallions was used in is a joke.

If you get caught, you don't get to keep the trophy.

No postseason ban and not stripping the title is ridiculous.

Meanwhile, some a-hole embezzled money to pay the father of an LSU player and we forfeit every win from a 3 year period.

NCAA is a fricking joke.

Nah. There are dozens of programs who steal signs, and the two best at it are in the SEC. Everyone knows it which is why Michigan will keep their trophy. Shouldn’t have gotten caught though.

Watching that Netflix documentary was pretty fascinating. There is a whole online army of play call sign researchers combing video and selling insights to coaching staffs.

I know high school teams are experimenting with an encrypted wrist-band system that allows coordinators in the booth to send the plays. It is pretty cool, sending out specific route instructions to the position players. College teams will probably go that way as well over time.

Holding up 10 different signs showing Chris Farley and Labrador Retreivers and Spider Man seems like a temporary measure and not a very good one.

Oklahoma plays Michigan Sept 6 - not Oklahoma State -

Sooners need to drag that arse all up & down their home field -

----------------------

also - isn't Michigan already on probation until 2027 for Hairbaugh's recruiting violations during Covid season - ?

so no repeat offender concerns from the NCAA - apparently - for that conference's sacred lamb -

Lol, they literally say in their statement that Michigan, by the letter of the law, deserves a postseason ban, but they're not doing it because it would punish current players. So i guess the moral of the story is...

Cheat, win, get caught, obfuscate for a few years until you have a new set of players, ????, profit!

The only people who can issue a postseason ban are the TV networks because they run the sport. The NCAA can’t do much of shite.

Every college program down to D3 is trying to decipher/steal signs, but there is a big difference in hiring lip readers and an analysis team vs dressing up as a staffer for the opposing team and hanging out on their sidelines to collect.

That said, know your personnel. Zero reason that Axel Foley move should have worked.

If this occurring during a game it’s fair game. What Michigan did went way beyond that.

Funny how the coaches can pick and choose which games they are going to miss . I want him to be on the field vs OU … that way if we win no excuses . To me that doesn’t meet the criteria of being punished .

They still get their title so they don't care. In fact, I bet almost all teams would pay $20MM to win a title.
