Chris Day gave birth to this BS.  At this point its media and Buckeye fan base driven.  The NCAA keystone cops do what they do to determine guilt or innocence. Don’t hold your breath.

You bumped your gums Tressel was a liar when Booger covered up a much more grievous felony offense - JSTFU. When you're in a hole - stop digging

I actually agree with Nubbz. 

Jeem and Tressel both were/are great football coaches. Neither of them are/were choir boys and both running huge operations with a bunch of dumbass 18-22 year olds with way too much testosterone- most of them from ghettos and rough backgrounds- and many of them dumber than box of rocks. 

These guys are football coaches. That's it. Not heroes. Not saints. Not moral guides. They are paid to do one thing. Win football games.

Now you’re grasping at straws.  I’m sure the coaches and athletic directors at those 11 stadiums would strongly disagree with you.

But hey Michigan get caught cheating again, but look over there at Ohio State  😂😂😂😂😂
yeah, I don't think this is Ryan Day....this is all the NCAA which has a major hard on for Jeem.

Ann Arbor Astro’s.  

I have seen that now on a number of team websites.   

But it’s an OSU thing.  😂😂😂😂

Made up for sure.

Omg.  You UM guys are in total denial. 

If it doesn’t bother you that your team broke the rules about advance scouting , filming the other teams signals - then this is all moot. 

And the reason the NCAA is pissed at z Harbaugh is exactly because HE LIED about what would have been minor and insignificant recruiting violations. 

What you’re missing is- the rest of the league is apoplectic about this because they now have what they consider proof.  They won’t stand for UM getting off lightly for an in game competitive advantage.  Not to mention the rest of CFB.  Vegas not too happy either.
to answer your question....I really don't care at all. no advanced in person scouting is a dumb, dated rule. it was good for it's time, as schools like Purdue or Syracuse or Vanderbilt probably didn't have the money in the football budget that schools like Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, or Texas had back in 1994. There was no insane TV money like there is now. Those schools still don't have the budgets of the helmets, but when B1G/SEC schools are getting $70-100mm year from TV rights deals and ACC/B12 schools are getting $35-40mm - everyone can afford to sent scouts to games now...

And I get that some G5/MAC schools still might not be able to, but I really don't give a flying fck. You know my thoughts on the FBS having 133 freaking teams already. That's a joke. Push them all to the FCS or start a new division and call it the Power 4 and the G5 can stay in the FBS. Idk.

So this guy buys two tickets on the opposite sides of the 45 yard line of the OSU-PSU game and doesn't use them? 

Death penalty

My serious take: if Michigan whomps their way through PSU and OSU and wins the conference, then there is no real controversy. If they get picked off somewhere and are in a "should they make the playoff debate" then this will be all anyone talks about and could definitely lead to them getting excluded.

My hot take…Michigan’s OOC schedule was so embarrassing and the B1G is so bad that Michigan probably has to win both PSU and OSU games or they are out.

I would amend that to Michigan has to win the league but that is probably a distinction without a difference because Michigan is very unlikely to win a 3-way tie in the East so they probably have to beat both PSU and tOSU because otherwise they probably either lose the three-way tie or lose outright and either way they are out.
