I don't know how this became a "morality" issue.
Michigan cheated. OSU cheated. MSU has cheated. Every team has cheated at one point or another. Every school has ugly history that doesn't involve cheating. If I'm going to turn my back on MSU, it's not because Mel Tucker covered costs for a couple recruits, it's going to be because they covered for Larry nassar.
Literally my only issue in all of this, and why I hate Coach K, is pretending to be above it. I don't think OSU ever pretending to be "doing it the right way". Michigan has always been like, "all these cheaters, yet we persevere."
Maybe I'm a little too intimately involved because I remember the first time I went to a UM-MSU game as an MSU student, was a basketball game. I saw someone I graduated high school with, in the restroom at Crisler because we were washing our hands next to each other. I say "graduate" loosely, because I'm not sure he did. He certainly didn't go to college, and last I saw he works at a gym in Ann Arbor, and still lives with his parents, at 40. We weren't friends, but it felt weird to not not say hi, and his response, was "Ha, CANT READ, CANT WRITE!" The weird eliteism that creeps into the UM fanhood is the only thing that irked me. It's an amazing school. It's a better school than MSU. Very few actual UM alums have felt the need to point that out. The number of people I graduated high school with who still live with their parents 45 years later who feel the need to is oddly high
