2023 Michigan Season Thread

[Honestbuckeye]

Michigan has already said they will seek an injunction.  

Given this:

The Conference is highly concerned about the University’s statements in its November 8 response that it “has not yet had an opportunity to review almost any of the evidence” and that “[f]rom what we can tell, your [notice] largely relies on rumor.” Univ. Resp. at 1, 7. We know from the evidence provided to the Conference by the NCAA on November 9 that the University had been provided the Master Spreadsheet, numerous other corroborating documents, photographs, and videos, and significant interview recordings, all of which confirm the existence of the impermissible scheme. This includes, as early as October 31 and November 1, at least three University officials attending NCAA interviews during which details of the impermissible scheme were revealed. That knowledge preceded the above-referenced November 2 call with the NCAA, in which the University participated, during which the NCAA stated it knew and could prove the existence of the impermissible scheme.
We assume the University’s first comment did not mean that it and its counsel had not taken the time to review the documents and other information upon receiving them. The University appears to suggest that imposition of discipline is inappropriate because the University claimed it had seen almost no evidence. But given the extensive evidence the University was in fact provided by the NCAA, it cannot possibly be true that the University had not seen “almost any of the evidence.” The evidence the University had should have allowed it to determine for itself the clear basis for concluding that the impermissible scheme occurred. And the combination of (i) the extensive evidence the University had, and (ii) the Conference’s reference in its November 4 notice to specific categories of evidence that it had reviewed surely allowed the University to know that the Conference was not “largely rel[ying] on “rumor.”

It’s not the smart play.  

it is really a non penalty given the evidence.  

Michigan and all of their fans, media members, insiders, and Talking Heads did a great job of trying to control the narrative and throw a lot of other”What about isms” out there to change the narrative  

it was actually a very effective strategy, but I think they’re over playing that hand and doubling down now, because they don’t like the fact that the commissioners letter basically put all of their talking points into a ditch.   I think they’re too worried about controlling the narrative.  

They get to keep on playing and basically Keith Harbaugh so I don’t know why they would want to fight that

 They want if to go back to the way it was prior to 2015.

Ya if you mean 3 teams not getting jumped in the tunnel of 7 home games,brawl on the field and gun toting team captains walking because their law professor happens to be the county prosecutor then yes. I mean who would possibly suggest a program has gone rogue and not in a good way.Dripping with integrity they are

Yes- I already posted that.  I think UMs odds of finding a friendly judge around Ann Arbor are extremely good. In fact, I would be surprised if they didn’t have it lined up already. 

Now it’s just silly.  The penalty assessed, means nothing but symbolism, and if they get the injunction, it will be nothing but symbolism.

Someone suggested Harbaugh go to Columbus and at least watch the OSU-MSU game with Stallions' unused tickets

Coach Harbaugh needs to wear a “Hi Tony” head band at the game tomorrow.
