Ncaa just let everyone know that sign stealing is okay.



Sign stealing isn't against the rules. Never has been.

As others said the only real punishment would be a playoff ban.

Money doesn’t mean shite. Losing scholarships in the NIL landscape means nothing either.

We will see in a couple hours.

"among" seems to be a key word here also. However if they have seen the documents you have to assume what they said here is the worst of it.

Seems kind of like a big waste of 22 months by the NCAA if this is all they got

So other programs can cheat to win a natty and only pay a 20 million fine? Pretty much anyone would take that deal

It was never going to be anything big. This is a different era of CFB. The ncaa doesn't hold the power it once did. People were fooling themselves if they expected Michigan to get hammered lol

I just don't understand the logic of giving Stallions and Harbaugh show causes if you don't really do anything about it.

If you admit the coaching staff knew about it and participated in some capacity, then you have to do something more.

We will see what is said but this seems like an inconsistency (not necessarily surprising given the NCAA doing the investigating)

I mean, $20mil is significant. It would be better if they had their rev share limit decreased for like 3 years, ie the equivalent of the old school scholarship limits.

Of course, in this era, even that can be skirted.

So does this mean it's not actually a "fine," but it will be assuming they'd actually make the postseason?

Obviously being in the Big10 they probably would make postseason assuming they run the grueling gauntlet of Purdue, Nothwestern, etc., but it reads like it's not actually a fine.
I think it means they forfeit their share of the B10 postseason pie, and it is returned to the NCAA. Individual teams don't get money from the postseason--conferences do.

So Harbaugh was the only coach he knew about the signals, sound legit

So they suspended a shitty head coach for a couple of games, gave the former head coach who will never coach college anyway some kind of ban, and fined them some money? Should have gave them a bowl ban and let players transfer. Gut the program for a couple of years.

He's 61 years old and back in the NFL. He was likely never coaching in College again anyway
