It’s not why Michigan lost by any means, but no one has a problem with coaches purposely misleading that players are hurt and not playing when it’s not the truth? Where did the moral high ground suddenly disappear to hear? Doesn’t fit your current narrative?

Is it a rule? MDot indicated earlier, that it is not.

This is where I'm at.

If it isn't a rule then why are we talking about it. However, why would there be a fine if it isn't against a rule?

Your second paragraph is also relevant. My understanding is that the kid played only because of an injury to someone in front of him. That doesn't smell like premeditated, Michigan-style cheating. That just looks like a situation where you ended up going back to an injured player because the situation demanded it.

Who was the fine from? It can't be the NCAA because given their pace if this violated an NCAA rule we wouldn't get a result until sometime in 2030. Maybe it was a conference fine based on broadcasting not competition.

ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference announced today it will debut a gameday student-athlete availability report for all football competition during the 2023 season. In addition to the conference-wide reporting, the Big Ten has partnered with U.S. Integrity (USI) to enhance monitoring efforts and provide additional educational resources to help prevent student-athletes, coaches, and staff from engaging in prohibited sports wagering.

“The well-being of our students, coaches, and staff, as well as the integrity of our competitions are of paramount importance,” said Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti. “Enhanced transparency through availability reporting and partnering with U.S. Integrity strengthens our efforts to protect those who participate in our games as well as the integrity of the games themselves. I’m grateful for the collaboration of our schools, coaches, and administrators.”

Big Ten institutions are responsible for submitting gameday availability reports prior to every contest this season. Information will be submitted by schools no later than two hours before scheduled kickoff times to the conference office and distributed on BigTen.org/FBReports and @B1GFootball on X (née Twitter). Breach of the gameday reporting policy will be subject to disciplinary action under the Big Ten Sportsmanship Policy.

The Big Ten, in collaboration with all 14 institutions, will work to evaluate the process and accuracy of information throughout the season, refining the protocol as needed.

USI will provide integrity monitoring, educational, and social media monitoring services to the Big Ten Conference via its proprietary dashboard. USI conducts analysis across dozens of data sets to proactively identify irregular contest-level, officiating and wagering patterns.
