I have always hated the NCAA, but this is egregious even for them. We have a scenario where a team got caught repeatedly cheating, and the NCAA, through action, has clearly indicated they prioritize their own income over the integrity of college sports. To not vacate wins or punish Moore is inexcusable.

@Bobby Burton is the mug dishwasher safe?

Just got my hat!! Wife already complimented it so great job team! Freaky fast delivery too!

Larry Ellison probably leaves bigger tips than that fine.

Oregon, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and other big spenders are licking their chops after hearing this news.

And they'll be games against inferior opponents where the team could basically coach themselves without needing any coaches on the sideline and still would win handily 99% of the time.

Imagine how weak the penalties will be on the NIL cap stuff if this is the punishment for openly cheating during a game.

Typical NCAA. It's time to scrap it and move on. Michigan got an expensive, but affordable, slap on the wrist. Harbaugh doesn't care about coming back to college ball. Moore actively participates in cheating then intentionally deletes evidence and is only missing 3 early games. Should have included at least a one-year playoff/bowl ban.

I have no doubt Julian Sayin will eventually be an elite QB, but is he good enough right now to beat the #1 team in the country with an elite defense?

You guys can speak on Texas’ side of things but for Ohio State, how the QB performs is the best predictor on if Ohio State can/will win or not. Ohio State’s WR, TE, and OL is championship caliber on offense. Ohio State’s LB & secondary are championship caliber on defense. The running backs and defensive line will be good to very good. It is all on Julian Sayin/Lincoln Keinholtz

I like taking traits on the offensive line for 3-star prospects. Texas has hit on plenty 3-star OL in previous years. You get a much longer developmental track to build frames and expand on the strengths of their traits.

The Oracle guy and his wife will probably cover the fine.

Not sure on that yet

Picked Texas to win what? Also, we don’t know how good Sayin (or Keinholtz) will be, but Arch in his first start as the unquestioned QB1 isn’t going to find it easy winning on the road either. Sayin was 5* QB1 coming out of HS just like Arch was.

@Gerry Hamilton Could any of this potentially assist in flipping OT Malakai Lee?

That’s just the cost of doing business. Michigan came out way ahead on this.

Gerry - would be interested in your opinion what analysts get right and wrong the most with star ratings. For example, I think they get QB and edge right the most and stars don't matter for both lines of scrimmage. What positions are you most comfortable taking 3 stars for development?

Connor stallions may have a show cause but Stonnor Callions does not!

@Gerry Hamilton can you help explain the recruiting penalties and what if any affect that will have?

Atkinson is elite closing speed on the ball. Space player. Can play multiple spots Griffin is an elite pass rushing LB off the edge Rouse is similar to Atkinson in terms of strengths

yes

I'm on phone with Sark saying hire the next Stallions ... no reason to hold back now!

Agreed, basically says cheat your way to a championship, we won't take it away. The revenue the school makes on the championship run will more than make up for any penalty. Essentially there's not much of an ROI hit.

I agree
