Michigan gets its “penalty”

Said in another thread that I understand the concept of not punishing the current players/coaches for the sins of previous players/coaches......but I stand by the opinion that any punishment without a post season band isn't a punishment.

Plus, in this current landscape, anyone that doesn't like the ban can just transfer and most of the players at a place like Michigan would very likely have little to no trouble finding a new home.

I have to kindly disagree with that sentiment ( not with you). Every penalty, fine, prison sentence in some way hurts the guiltless. Only the most heathen (like Harbaugh) will screw their coworkers, friends, family when they know the fallout will hit them as well. This is a get out of jail free card and a green light for cheating on a mass scale.

If there is no enforcement team to begin with (Stew and Bruce mentioned the NCAA National investigative staff would literally fit in a minivan, and that was back in the good old days..) and no real punishment even if someone is caught which in this case was dependent on a whistleblower IIRC a coach looking to keep their job is probably incentivized to break every rule in the book to get any edge they can. This was true before but now even moreso.
