This is why I can't fathom why they didn't vacate wins.
Literally it's the most obscure and pointless punishment anyway. Nobody *actually* cares that wins are vacated. Only those of us die-hards even recognize the difference. It really affects nothing at all...
Exactly - makes perfect sense - but N-O-O-O,that is the very core of their self esteem.You see most of M's all-time wins were racked up during the time of covered wagons and tuberculosis.And they prided themselves in the all time wins even though Fielding Yost actually had more stevedores and construction workers on the roster than Students.In 1904 for instance they played kalamazoo, Physicians & Surgeons College,American Medical.Since UM hadn't won a OUTRIGHT NC since 1948 and exactly 75 yrs later during the '23 FIX. They fattened and fancied themselves with the refrain of the All Time wins title.
But from the time of Paul Brown/Woody Hayes/Earle Bruce/Jim Tressel up thru Urban Meyer they carved a huge hole in that artificial prize that M hung their hat on.Only the mistake that was Tenessee John Cooper kept their slim lead and by 2020 - the year Harbaugh backed out against the Buckeyes who were within 6 wins and that was slipping away as Bama and tOSU were closing in.So M pulled out all the stops to match their cringe worthy Baseball and Basketball scandals(look them up) as ELA pointed out for a noteworthy triple crown of crookedness.
