Pearl was a repeat offender. That contributed to it

Also it should be pretty obvious that the NCAA has a lot less power now than it did in 2011

What about the precedent set with Bruce Pearl....

As much as I hated Captain America (Harbaugh's nickname when he quarter-backed the Colts in mid 90s), the UM violation was a Level II violation. Bruce's violations were much more serious and as noted he was a repeat offender. Worst of all, Bruce lied to the Chancellor and the rest was history, as it should have been.

The looming suspension is tied to an NCAA recruiting investigation into Michigan in which Harbaugh faces a Level I violation, the most serious kind in the NCAA's purview, for not cooperating with NCAA enforcement.

Bruce lied about a Level 2 just like Harbaugh. Bruce was black-balled but technically had no NCAA violations attached to himself for Deon Thomas so I don't know how he was a "repeat offender" (Nevermind, see edit below)

Lying to the Chancellor is a school issue and they did what they saw fit.. I'm not blaming the school for firing him but a comparison of what he did to NCAA vs what Harbaugh did to NCAA is very similar. The NCAA punishments werent.

Yes, the NCAA is weaker now and they only want to punish those who do the crimes, except when it comes to Michigan football...

Edit - I remember Jordan Adams bump that happened after the original suspension announcement. I'm guessing that minor, repeat violation may have caused the increase in show cause by a year....

But he wasn’t. He was blacklisted by opposing coaches when he worked for Tom Davis at Iowa for recording a call with Deon Thomas that showed Illinois was paying him. The bbq was the first reported issue with the NCAA. Then Hamilton and company used the bump with a recruit to cut him loose.

Will be interesting to see how the media talking heads who blasted Tennessee for not going through with the supposed greatest football coaching hire of all time in Schiano and not getting a post season ban despite firing everyone in the former staff square away Hairball getting to only sit out 4 cupcake games with one being against the same great Schiano and his perennial 4 win Rutgers team.
Probably will blame the precedent Tennessee set and call for more penalties against us.

That's because Tennessee just rolls over for the ncaa like an old toothless dog. We will always get the large end of the stick because our admin. has no spine.

Lol, this administration couldn’t have handled the NCAA situation any better after all the crap Pruitt & Fulmer started.

We basically got away with a fine and a “be a good boy from now on” with this administration. I think they handled that mess pretty darn well
