It's NCAA rules. But he's also been suspended for half of the games this season, for two investigations
And the first was not suspended by the NCAA, but self-imposed by Michigan.. For what, communicating with people during a silent period during a once in a life time pandemic? I get it, Michigan fans claiming it's only because he bought a recruit a burger. Harbaugh refused to cooperate with NCAA so it's likely more than a single burger buy, but we also don't know. We really don't.
going to result is further discipline for each.
based on what? Again, you're making an assumption and none of us simply know all the facts and details. Could that happen? Sure could, but to say it's going to doesn't have factual base behind it.
At some point as a university, you have to decide where your priorities lie. Michigan is well within their rights to keep a winning coach through multiple suspensions.
And what if their priority is to not bail on a coach, who's stories in the public aren't quite accurate? What if he truly had no idea about stallions and neither did the rest of the coaching staff and Harbaugh seriously just bought a kid and his family lunch and the backlash was greater because he told the NCAA to go fly a kite, it was a burger?
So while pointing at other schools and their situations may not make sense, neither does scathing a program for their decisions, when the facts are far from known as they are known at their level. Is that reasonable?
If all comes out and Harbaugh did far more during the quiet period and there was far more involvement than just scallions, I fully understand your position much more, but we simply don't have enough facts one way or another. Thats why as a Michigan guy, it's gets a little old hearing the criticism of their program and how they handle it over and over. Not taking a shot at you, just explaining my perspective.
