Even if you are the most ardent Michigan hater, yeah, you laugh about this but you've got to be thinking THIS is what the NCAA is doing with their time right now? THIS is what they are standing on a hill over? An organization that laments about being short staffed/under resourced is working on THIS at a time when there are NO rules being followed/enforced. I thought it was a joke when I saw it last night.
I see where you are coming from. But, you are appealing to the fanbase of a program that was smacked with draconian sanctions second to only the SMU death penalty. The crime.....alleged child abuse by a retired coach. No charges vs the Head Coach and no involvement in any way shape or form by the players . Yet a long time employee at U of M abuses students and athletes......crickets?
So yes, this is Mickey Mouse and I'm not seeing any harm in buying someone a burger, nor an analyst stepping on the field or a zoom practice during COVID.....if that is all that occurred. Even Michigan Loyal Fans must be wondering why Jim lied or didn't just mea culpa? If anyone is expecting meaningful sanctions on Michigan.....don't hold your breath. Unlike the PSU BOT ....Michigan leadership won't roll over. Good for them. The only question will be if this isn't the situation that convinces Jim to go back to the NFL.

By all accounts, Jim was trying to go back last year. He was interviewing for the Minnesota job late January, early February last year.

Burn michigan down to the ground. Burger, analyst on the field, Zoom call, handerson, gibbons and lewan…

Scandal after scandal at um. They’re a disgrace.

I really don't feel like studying what the average soccer mom would get charged with in a similar situation in that jurisdiction, but it probably wouldn't be nearly as easy for her to make the whole thing go away.

The question of whether the gun was on campus is an interesting one that was never asked. I'm sure he was keeping it at a friend's house off campus (sarcasm font off)

Again, if this was an undergrad chemistry student, I'm guessing it wouldn't have been so easy.
The average soccer mom doesn't get stopped in the first place

If she were pulled over in ann arbor, they’d probably delay the prosecution until after the kid’s soccer season was over.

hairball doesn’t remember.

See the link below. From the article:

”ESPN confirmed Yahoo's reporting that there's essentially an impasse between Harbaugh and the NCAA, as Harbaugh says he doesn't recall the incident in question and the NCAA is insisting he lied.

That leaves Michigan facing an infractions process counter to the program's preferred "Michigan Man" image of integrity.”

Jimbo is in deep doo doo.... he lied and got caught. He is going to be suspended just a matter of how long and does this push him to the NFL... plus I believe there is more information of other issues he might be charged with now at Michigan... Hello Denver Broncos...

So is Michigan trying to control the narrative and dictate the outcome? You have to respect a school standing up for itself.

Hello Michigan, is anyone home, use the Wolverine version of the UNC defense. “Yeah our football coach lies, so do our other coaches, ditto our professors, administrators and students. So ipso facto it can’t be an NCAA violation.

Damn straight. So here is how this is gonna go. Jim will serve no suspension this season, leading the mighty Wolverines to a 3rd straight Big Ten title at which point he will probably be off to the NFL or he will have Tom Mars hold up any suspension in litigation.

I really can't stand the guy, I think he's half meathead, half autistic... But having read into this mess he doesn't really deserve anything more than a stren harrumph. It's super small potatoes.

So when we thought it was about a cheeseburger, he was going to get for games but now that it’s actually about recruiting he’s only going to get three. Perfect logic to me.
Honestly, I haven’t cared much about any NCAA rules since they hammered Penn State based on a report that they basically used as a blueprint for how to handle such matters in the future. If am a coach and I want to buy a kid a cheeseburger (or a sports car) I’ll do it and the NCAA to go screw themselves.

Lol, Michigan reduced their own penalty. No need for the NCAA, we‘ll take care of this ourselves. What a novel idea. PSU should have handled 2011 internally. We’ve got this NCAA, don’t bother to get involved. The NCAA is a flaccid laughingstock. Time to be dissolved.

Michigan fans are labeling the entire thing as a “witch hunt”.
Its not a witch hunt. Technically, infractions occurred. Its just the over the top fervor for which the NCAA is coming after Harbaugh thats drawing the ire of not only Michigan but most everyone else who doesn't have a vendetta against Michigan.

You have a lot of Fin nerve to come HERE and whine about overzealous NCAA enforcement. Shut the hell up, you arrogant swine. Take your Fin medicine.
