I caught a little of this on XM a few weeks ago. The covid no contact was one thing but lying/being evasive with an investigation is a completely different thing and can get you on hot water.Hardly a penalty but it’s not like he really did anything that bad anyway.
I would agree with that. You can’t lie about it.I caught a little of this on XM a few weeks ago. The covid no contact was one thing but lying/being evasive with an investigation is a completely different thing and can get you on hot water.
it actually is even less than the prior ban they issued. that one was 4 gamesWait ... is this the same ban they issued, and revoked?
Now re-issued the ban!!?!?!?
Who do they think they are, Northwestern?
It would be a breaking news story 30 minutes before the Michigan game based on reports from "anonymous sources". PJ pulled off the field. Everyone speculates and panics for 2 weeks until the Monday after the Iowa game when Fleck returns to practice.It is a joke. If it was the Gophers, the ban would be on conference games. The haves and the have-not are treated differently.
Looks like Michigan is trying to dance around this as this ncaa ruling won't come til 2024.If people read about it, this is standard. The school self-imposes and then the NCAA puts down a larger ruling. It will probably end up being 4-5 games.
I think you are on the right track. He serves three games this year, missing non-conference patsies. (Yeah, I know, Bowling Green yada, yada, yada.) If the NCAA tacks on a game next year to make it a four game suspension, he misses a home game against Fresno State. The second game in 2024? A home game against Texas. I think this self-imposed suspension is geared toward trying to increase the chance that he's available for that one.Looks like Michigan is trying to dance around this as this ncaa ruling won't come til 2024.
3 game ban this year avoids conference games.
Tack on 2 more next year and still avoids conference games (assuming, haven't looked at their schedule ).
Versus 5 next year, which would definitely impact conference play.
Hopefully the ncaa sees through this as it's so transparent.
