Look, I relish beating Sconnie in anything, anytime. But this is a baseless accusation. Love your sources you reference, btw.not sure how Wisconsins whole OL isnt checked regularly. I know any planned check and the science department has a line of clean test material waiting
Michigan State's glory years under Dantonio appear to be over, and Dantonio's tenure there will also likely soon be at an end. They did a very nice job building an identity and reaching impressive heights while Michigan was down but that state probably aint big enough for the two of them (to be good at the same time).
According to the university, Bachie tested positive “for a substance that is classified as a performance-enhancing substance banned by the league." MSU plans to file an immediate appeal with the Big Ten regarding the testing.
Student-athletes lose a full year of NCAA eligibility the first time they test positive for a performance-enhancing drug, and also are withheld from competition for 365 days from the date of the test.
Go Gophers!!
I suspect...PED use is at least as and probably more common than the recruiting bag men everyone talks about. The chance of getting caught is so low and the upsides are so high there’s little downside and a decent chance at an NFL contract for many players. What’s his projection in the draft?
I got criticized in the transfer thread for saying something is seriously wrong at MSU. More transfers, more issues, more losses...they are going the wrong way fast
They’ve won 10+ games 4 times in the last 7 years and as recently as 2017. They probably need a shakeup and new outlook on the offensive side but I suspect Dantonio will get as much time as he wants to turn the ship around.

Not sure there is enough talent in Michigan for both Michigan and Michigan State to be top 15 teams at the same time anymore.
Harbaugh being at Michigan has hurt state more than any other program.
I agree that Dantonio has a long leash on the field. What might get him a quicker hook is his off the field stuff within the athletics dept and player conduct and how it’s been handled
Given enough time all coaches are going to have some off the field incidents. There isn’t some miracle cure for human behavior. Stuff is going to happen, eventually. I doubt all the Gophers are choir boys. I doubt everyone chirping from the peanut gallery is a saint. People can be strange, even the ones that act normally to all outward appearances.
I think the sworn deposition he is going to have to do after the season over is a potential issue for him
Dantonio has also been catching some heat for refusing to bring in new offensive staff. This is their second straight year of basically no offensive production, and a lot of media and fans are pissed no one got fired after last years disaster. That plus other athletic department issues are a bigger threat then the general down year they are having.
