Seems to be all cash which can be made up in the first couple home games when you pack 100k fans in. They are appealing the decision but I'd say they got away pretty lucky.
 
No vacated wins, no bowl ban, no scholarship reductions, no postseason ban. Just a fine and double secret probation for Harbaugh and Sharrone Moore has to sit out 2 games. So essentially zero punishment.

It's like robbing a bank and only having to pay a small fine then you get to keep the stolen loot and have to weak an ankle monitor for a month.

The NCAA essentially said cheating is legal, you just need to pay a small tax.

Then they follow up with this nonsense

PLUS

Michigan puts fans in the seats, boosts the tv ratings and income for NCAA sponsorship.

They don’t want to ban the cash cow to not appear and maintain said income.

My guess is,………. It is about the Money .!

if you were NCAA Commissioner, what would you have done?
 
$$$$ vs Integrity =$$$$
What was left of the integrity in college football is now gone completely.

The NFL lost their integrity many years ago with the pats******


The end justifies the means.

Heavier fine, 8yr ban on Hairball from NCAA anything. Loss of 4 recruit players, 1yr.. Recruiting time shortened and delayed by 2 weeks from start of other teams time frames.

What’s your take on punishment ?

I remember the penalties they levied on Penn State for what wasn't even a football-related offense, even though it was heinous enough. Banning from bowl games, loss of scholarships, vacating wins going back years, allowing players to opt out and join other schools.

What a BS excuse by the NCAA. The 2012 Buckeyes were punished for something far less serious that a previous team did.
 
Rodger goodell must have been consulted....

Meh program cheats-> Nuke Em
Big program cheats -> slap on the wrist


College sports has always been corrupt... its just more obvious now

I think you had to punish the program in a non monitary on the field way. Money is a joke. You had to do something that had effect on the next two-five years. I think other programs have been put in jail.

Money is a bit different now that the players are getting paid.
