If this is considered enforcement there is no point in having an NCAA nor rules at all.

They literally committed the most flagrant violation of the integrity of the game in the modern history of College Football, got a slap on the wrist for it, and have the audacity to appeal.

They're going to appeal being let off with a warning for speeding.

So six level 1 offenses = $30 million

I'm pretty sure a near-elite program could make the case that it's financially prudent to commit 2-3 such offenses to get over the hump.
It's actually a fucking bargain!

I think a $30M penalty is enormous. It will be interesting to see now what the NFL does to penalize Jim Harbaugh. Will he be suspended from coaching for 10-years?
As for Connor Stalions it appears he was still working for Michigan in a sense, if you read what I read, into this Wikipedia article:
Belleville Offensive Coordinator

Following the 2024 regular season, Belleville High School hired Stalions as the team's Offensive Coordinator for the playoffs. The Tigers won their first playoff game with Stalions calling plays defeating Ann Arbor Pioneer 68-0.[18] Belleville then went on to defeat the #4 ranked team in the state Saline 42-7 to win the District Championship, prior to being knocked out by the #1 ranked team Detroit Catholic Central in the Regional Championship.[19] Following the conclusion of the season, both Elijah Dotson and Bryce Underwood flipped their commitments from Pittsburgh and LSU respectively to the University of Michigan, where their Offensive Coordinator Connor Stalions served as a Defensive Analyst.[20]

This is exactly the message the NCAA sent: Cheating pays off. They've made chumps out of all the respectable schools that at least pretend to follow the rules.
