NCAA hammers Wolverines with massive fine, stops short of postseason ban despite saying ban is 'required in this case'

-Ross Dellenger, Senior College Football Reporter

At long last, nearly two years after its initial discovery, the Michigan sign-stealing decision is in. The Wolverines avoided a postseason ban, but were hit with a series of fines that could exceed $35 million, plus an additional game suspension for head coach Sherrone Moore.

Sign stealing is a bunch of BS, it’s a part of the game, what isn’t ok is filming practice or anything.

But any movement on the sidelines, any indicator of what will happen next should be free game, and how things work. If you decide to hiring analytics to study signs on sideline to correlate with what’s happening in the field that should be allowed and is apart of the scheme and game.

The offense and defenses better start switching it up if they are worried about sign stealing.

Larry Ellison of Oracle fame will pay the fine just like he bought Underwood.

Scholarships is what hurts a program. This is nothing.

But now they call plays into a headset, literally what they should have been doing since the NFL instituted it

Oh no. $35 million to buy a national championship seems like a pretty good deal.

For perspective - the cost of 2 or 3 players.

More proof that we fricked up running scared and nuking the basketball program because of threat from a toothless organization.

Not enough. Money doesn't really matter to a program that big, it will hurt, but it will be paid. The no bowl and changing the record of past wins would've stung a lot more.

So no real punishment... just a fine that means nothing.
