I actually think a postseason ban is MORE effective now than it's been in a decade, simply because every helmet team expects to make the CFP. Not going to the Citrus Bowl? Nobody cares anymore. No shot at the CFP? That could matter

Seems like top players are opting out of bowls more and more these days, so yeah.

I struggle with the whole postseason ban / roster size restrictions / etc as it relates to punishment:

On the one hand, I recognize that the current roster shouldn't be punished for things that occurred 2-4 years ago--especially in the modern transfer portal era where it might not even be likely that those players were underclassmen when they were going on. They weren't even there.
On the other hand, things like vacating wins or financial fines are useless as a deterrent. Everyone knows Michigan won the 2023 NC. Everyone knows they won the other games they won. And they're rich enough that financial fines are more than worth it if they've actually got the on-field results to justify it.

Ultimately, I lean towards the idea that you have to punish the program HARD and if that impacts the current players? So be it. The transfer portal cuts both ways, and in this case it means that if you hand down a draconian punishment, those players CAN go elsewhere, quite easily.

They cheated for 3 years. So give them a 3 year postseason ban. Will their players leave? Yes. Will it set their program back probably closer to 5 years? Yes. But it takes something like that to be a deterrent from other programs trying to do the same thing.

But the NCAA didn't do that.

I'll tell you one thing... I'd HATE to be CMU right now
