I kind of thought suspending Harbaugh was them helping Ohio State. He can't be on the sideline when they play a week from Saturday.

They have succeeded in confusing people into believing that this urgent action or rather quaint decoy wrist-slap was needed to do something "before the playoffs were affected." But the playoffs were affected last year. That uncomfortable fact has been buried. The Big 10 has convinced people this was something that only affectd the Big 10. That is false.

And the story has now been put into place to permit Michigan to go to the playoffs again this year if they win out, which would have caused an uproar otherwise. So it buys Michigan an completely unfair path to participation.

The NCAA is also in a position now to later say that Michigan has already been wrist-slapped by the Big Ten, so it isn't fair to penalize them twice.

Also, once Harbaugh bolts for the NFL, they will add (if Michigan is lucky, after they have a title) that it's not fair to punish new players who had nothing to do with Harbaugh's rule breaking. (As if they had a problem with that in our case.)

Notice that the NCAA has, first, already stalled on the earlier recruiting and coaching violations against Harbaugh, including lying to the NCAA, with the wrist-slap that Harbaugh not coach the Balls Tate game this year, etc. Second, The NCAA (and the media) turned a complete blind eye to the illegal activity the football program was involved in with university computers in January. And that is an institutional control issue because the university runs IT. And finally the NCAA has stalled or ignored yet a third time, this time on this signal stealing mess. That's a helluva lot of cheating with impunity.

To top it off, people are now misunderstanding Michigan as having been adequately dealt with by the Big 10 suspension Harbaugh for three games. If it were a team outside of the cheating with impunity club, they would be looking at lack of institutional control.

That's what I meant. I figure OSU will emerge as the Big 10 representative.

Having said all of that, I think Michigan is much, much cleaner than Bama; and If Michigan is the only way to block Bama's path it is in the interest of justice that Michigan take Bama's spot.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Just wait until Saturday. We’ll see fantom holds on our OL and in the secondary. Just another day in the SEC.

I had basically had all of the blatant rigging I could take after the Kentucky game proved that it was not going to stop -- even when there was no need of it for, in the event that advancing favorites were the explanation. It must be worse than even that. That had the accidental effect that I was perhaps not as upset as others last week. I've just about given up on Birmingham Alabama's SEC football league as more than a farce and a crime scene. I've been reluctant to say, but there it is.

Wofford is usually at top or near top of Socon. Last year was a down year for they and ETSU were middle of the road.

this year the Terriers are off to a quick start. Have a family member that graduated from Wofford. Damn good school.

Has the NCAA ever suspended a coach before it finished its investigation?

Why would that matter? They can do -- and especially not do -- whatever they want.

Morevover, it would be closed by now if they wanted it to be.

Finally, they could have closed one segment, per whatever stipulation they announced (whatever they wanted) (no precedent necessary), and have issued an interim penalty. Stipulating that the investigation was ongoiing and further penalites may be applied.

The NCAA clearly wants to do nothing or they would have already busted Harbaugh on the earlier stuff and his lying to the NCAA. And on the computer crimes that Harbaugh's Assistant OC apparently was the designated fall guy for and the NCAA ignored and the media effectively censored. And now this round.

You act as if rule of law and precedent has sh-t to do with anything, That's naive. Play it backwards on Michigan. Penalize them and if they want to complain, call them bishes and drag it out til after the playoffs. Then it's a fait accompli in the other direction.

Was too young to drink. But went to a couple of parties with my bro in 90's. Was pretty wild.

They tore down those frat houses and built new ones that aren’t occupied.. only used for school sanctioned events. That happened my junior year of college and it sucked after that. But I know what you’re talking about and yes it is lol
