Michigan in trouble

[BattleshipTexas]

Michigan received its Notice of Allegations from the NCAA tonight. Four Level II charges & one Level I. Level I charge is against Harbaugh for failing to cooperate with investigators regarding contact with two prospects during the COVID-19 dead period:

The most serious of any NCAA violations that the NCAA will perceive, is when members of the institution - the athletic department, or the coaching staff - do not cooperate fully with NCAA investigators. The NCAA EXPECTS those institutional representatives to not only work with NCAA investigators, but to take the lead in determining what was done in violation, and in taking measures to ensure they don't happen again.

It's why when institutions are determined to go overboard in their cooperation, they generally get favorable findings and penalties from the NCAA. Examples that are related with South Carolina, were the Whitney Hotel scandal, where the NCAA accepted self-imposed penalties from USC and did not add anything more. Also was the FBI investigation into college basketball involving ASM Sports rep Christian Dawkins, where South Carolina was removed early on from the investigation due to our handing over everything and then some in the way of records and texts to the FBI, and the NCAA followed suit.

But when an institution refuses to work with the NCAA, or gives the NCAA the run-around, then the NCAA typically goes all in on that program under investigation, without the use of vaseline. They took away Georgia Tech's ACC FB title because members of its AD obstructed their investigation. They hit former Tennessee MBB head coach Bruce Pearl hard because he lied about a BBQ cookout he had for prospects and their families in violation of NCAA rules.

Expect Harbaugh and Michigan to get the heavy-handed treatment, if they actually lied and refused to cooperate with them with their investigation.....

I don't see the NCAA doing a thing.

NFL bound?

UNC showed everyone the blue print, lawyer up and fight back. The NCAA is a toothless, weak organization.

The name schools will never get anything close to the punishment they deserve. Too many well heeled alumni in prominent positions and they bring in too much money in tv ratings at al. for the NCAA to do anything to really punish them . The NCAA always makes an example of schools who don't have the "blue blood" rep to prop up the lie that they have any power. If we are paying players legally now,what real purpose do they serve since the "inappropriate benefits" violation was the only one they ever raised a stink about. Have to stop those schools from giving those players an extra brownie after practice. No telling what sort of advantage the school might gain from that if word gets out! The NCAA is a joke and needs to just go away.

Didn't Hairball have some issues a few years back about excessive practices or something? Don't think anything came of that! At least his guys weren't getting free tattoos!

It’s interesting how Tennessee got rid of everybody over the Pruitt thing and hired an outside law firm to oversee investigations at UT, a firm with high credibility with the NCAA.

Then you have LSU. Basketball coach just goes on with no problem in spite of audio tape incriminating him and LSU doesn’t make a move until the NCAA sends notice of violations. UNC is another that comes to mind with the bball program.

The NCAA says that they want cooperation, but when a university bends over backwards to be the model student they STILL drag things out and make it hard on them sometimes! The kids who got money under Pruitt got embarrassingly small money compared to what is now legal under NIL. Of course NIL doesn’t make money going to recruits right. Tennessee coaches were in the wrong and that’s all that matters, but the inconsistent manner in which they operate is why they have a credibility issue with so many of the fans.

Nothing will happen. Just like our government.
They will waste money and time, form some committees, launch a probe, and it will quietly go away.
