A $20 million fine has gotta hurt at least a bit - even for Michigan. Will certainly give opposing fans some vocal ammunition - especially when on the road to schools like OSU or PSU. Not sure if the 25% reduction in official visits for 2025-26 really means much at all.

20 million dollars and some suspensions in exchange for a natty seems like a pretty good deal

So, where is the actual penalty?

This is barely a slap on the wrist.

Imagine if the NC2A putting this type of effort into the UNCheat fraud. Poor Cleveland State and any HBCU school.

I like the idea of not seeing Harbaugh at Huntington Bank Stadium until 2038.

Natty for some penalty dollars. Most anyone would take that.

The NCAA should adopt "Toothless" from How to Train Your Dragon as their mascot. Not the cool one from the movies, the inept, bumbling one from the books.

Who get's the money from the fine? What is it used for?

Just a couple of weeks ago someone in the other thread was just so dang sure Michigan was getting hammered...mocked me for saying it would be a slap on the wrist. Hmmm...

Richard Pitino got a harsher punishment when he failed to refill the gas tank on his rental car.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Any punishment that doesn't involve a post season ban of some kind isn't really a punishment.

As others have said this is just a slap on the wrist. 20 million sounds like an impressive fine but for a place like Michigan it isn't that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. And like the tweet said I'm sure they are fine trading 20 million for a National Championship.

Clem called was woundering what kind of penalty would they have gotten if they cheated on a test? Maybe a stripping of all titles? They cheated that actually affected games and made their record a faud. I guess it's Michgan.

Feel pretty confident many teams are spending more than that this year
