When are you going to be done with it? 7 -olinemen drafted. Qb goes #9. Star rb. Star receiver drafted. Head coach and most of the important assistants go.
yet here you go. I’m sure you blame Stallions on the OSU loss, even though the program had a massive microscope at that point and you take every chance to bring it up and say asterisk. The take is weak. Your opinion on it is weak. You’ll be the first to say it’s only gold pants, tattoos and Bobby D was only giving players cash envelopes of small values at charity events for their “costs”. The hypocrisy is hilarious, sad and frankly getting annoying.
First, as discussed previously, "somebody else cheated too" still isn't a defense no matter how many times you allege it.
Second, your effort at equivalence is pathetic on multiple levels.
Ohio State fired a NC winning coach for failing to disclose one email because Ohio State had the self respect to understand that their institutional dignity was more important that winning a few games. The trash institution that you cheer for just signed a contract with a HC who actively obstructed an ongoing NCAA investigation.
Further, all of your allegations fit the pattern of the usual NCAA violations in which a booster and a kid broke the rules. The worst example I can think of is the Cam Newton situation. We typically all say "Auburn paid Cam Newton" or "Auburn cheated" but that isn't technically true (at least to my knowledge). What happened, AFAIK, is that Auburn boosters paid Cam Newton's dad's church. Note that the institution itself wasn't actually involved in the cheating.
The Michigan situation is completely different. Employees of the institution cheated. That is not some wild-eyed rival fan's take like the allegations you are throwing out, it is facts that are basically undisputed. The institution itself was involved and complicit and then failed to take reasonable actions to rectify the situation.
The institution you choose to cheer for abandoned their last thread of dignity when they signed a contract with a guy who had obstructed an ongoing NCAA investigation.
I want to say something here to answer a criticism that I assume you'll make:
As a rival fan, looking at Michigan under Sherrone Moore, I'm not impressed. I said in the power rankings thread that the team currently looks like less than the sum of it's parts. From what I've seen so far, I have NO anti-Michigan reason to want Michigan to fire Sherrone Moore. From what I've seen so far he appears to be an example of the Peter Principle much like Kerry Coombs was as DC at tOSU*.
*For anyone unfamiliar, Kerry Coombs was CB's coach at tOSU for 2012 then CB's and ST's for five years from 2013-2017 then left and spent two years as a DB coach in the NFL. He was GREAT at those things so he got named DC at tOSU and his 2020 and 2021 tOSU defenses sucked. If you aren't familiar with the Peter Principle it says that people tend to rise to the level of their incompetence. As applied to Kerry Coombs and Sherrone Moore (conditionally, he could end up ok) they were great at their prior jobs so they got promoted until they got to a level where they were incompetent.
So I'll ask again:
When you wear a blue shirt with a yellow "M", and tell your kids not to lie, cheat, and steal, how do you explain the exception that allows lying, cheating, and stealing if you are just really, really sick of losing to Ohio State for two decades?
