As I said in another thread, Michigan leaving the Big Ten is on the table. Quite the legacy for Tony Petitti. Go ahead, convince me that the conference losing one of their two top draws is good for Rutgers

If Michigan has made the ultimatum that either you allow us to cheat or we leave the Conference… then goodby & good luck

If I was the sec or big12, I'd offer them a sweet deal right now. Lol I wouldn't accept sec if I was Michigan because it would be much more difficult to get to the playoffs. But with the west coast schools coming in next year I'd think long and hard about the big12.. might be easier to get to the playoffs from that conference and they'd be kings with Texas and Oklahoma leaving.. don't know how much money they'd be losing doing something like that but I've seen some dumb business moves made out of spite..
Nope, SEC is also blacklisted because they cooperated and provided evidence of Stalions' Scouting Network operating in SEC stadiums.

Let's just slow the Michigan threats down- does anyone really believe they are going to leave the B1G.

Let's even forget sports- Let's ask again- does anyone really believe they are going to leave this incredible conference of land grant, research Universities?

And for a HC- that has had a foot and a half out the door anyway.

Lol I mean, I get it but c'mon man. Did all their draft picks cheat at the combine? Did Aiden Hutchinson and David ajobo use cheat sheets for 225 bench reps at the combine? Do you honestly believe Purdue was going to beat Michigan? It was their offensive and defensive lines that made them dominant. This uproar just seems like social media fueled outrage blown up in order to push viral tweets. And headlines to hold over a slow week for sports news. Everyone makes a big deal out of everything now in days. Stallions looks like a clown but I'm not outraged, nor do I feel like Michigan stole wins from other teams. I've played plenty of football in my lifetime and no matter what they know they still have to block me or tackle me..

Also Michigan vs. Ohio State is the big ten. That's what all of the money is based on. Everyone else is just here to fill out the conference, the idea is to use the money they generate to build your program up and eventually take their crowns. Not tearing them down and in turn the conference making it more difficult for you to become one of the kings yourself from the aac getting $990k a year in tv revenue.

Life isn't fair, some have an advantage, play the hand your dealt. People get mad at billionaires but if they start selling their assets to pay more taxes then all of your pension funds start decreasing in value, panic occurs and markets start crashing, then you will start wondering why. The people or entities you may feel are too powerful or too big, their size is part of the infrastructure that in turn supports you. So you're really just mad at yourself for being so dependent. Only way to win is to work within the system to become one of those powerful entities/people.
The argument that everyone cheats and we're so good anyway so just let us do it without repercussions doesn't work. Take your medicine like a big boy.

If they just took it as it i- I believe most of this is gone by the next news cycle and then we only have to talk about the pedophile they had on staff.
Wit them continuing to fight and drag other schools into it for something that has been legal- they are almost putting the NCAA into a position that they have to do something harsher.
Damn- the guy gets to coach the team all week. just can't be on the sideline

Completely agree. They are making this way worse.

A temporary restraining order is by definition issued before there is a full record. So the court's refusal to grant one today is a sign that it believes Michigan's case is not open-and-shut, and that it doesn't think irreparable harm will be done to Michigan by postponing consideration.

too funny... aww. Michigan might leave the Big Ten.. just WOW.. what arrogance.


But this whole thing was a choreographed dance between teh Big Ten and Michigan. So fake.. where was Michigan going to go.. The MAC? The PAC12 with OSU and WSU? Big 12?

-Big Ten slaps em on the wrist
-Then Michigan's role was to act offended and aggrieved
-The Big Ten then settles the dispute
(And will probably defend Michigan with the NCAA and CFP)

And Michigan ends up still eligible for the CFP and to have Harbaugh coach in the championship game should they get there. And they should get there as Michigan is probably favored over OSU in the big game even without JH on teh sidelines... heck.. he might be more effective up in a box.

Orchestrated from the start. outcome never in doubt. But we are to think Michigan resisted this outcome. They think we are all stupid.
