That you listed Toledo as a big game is too glorious for words.

Of course I'm just joking around and I'm positive you know that.

That game along with App State are the only two games I haven't seen in person or on TV in the past three years. Ironic.....yes. Sure Michigan has lost 20 games the past 3 years, but those 2 loses hurt more than anything.

Bingo.

For anyone new to the world of NCAA allegations this may not sound like much. But if you have read through some of the trivial nonsense that costs scholarships and puts teams on probation this is significant.

Exceed permissible coaches by FIVE.

Provided false and misleading information during the investigation (no matter that it was a grad assistant - the HC makes it clear to the staff how the investigation is to be handled).

Failure to monitor and foster an atmosphere of compliance and THEN say you did nothing wrong.

Hmmmm. Maybe this could be a good thing for RR. Maybe no more offers for slot receivers and focus on the limited offers for the defense....WTF was I thinking he won't change. Just more walk ons to play for the defense. Everything will be alright.

Michigan, Rich Rodriguez out of compliance with NCAA rules - NCAA Football - SI.com
Rodriguez, who signed a six-year deal worth $2.5 million per season, tearfully defended his program just five days before the season-opener, saying he and his staff have followed the rules. He suggested the complaints were an attempt to "tear up" his rebuilding effort following a 3-9 season.

On Tuesday, the coach said if the football staff misinterpreted NCAA rules, "That's on us."
"We're looking at it to see why we misinterpreted and why we made mistakes," he said.

NCAA regulations allow players to spend eight hours a week on mandatory workouts during the offseason. Players told the Free Press they spent two to three times that amount on required workouts, though the NCAA report released Tuesday said players more often exceeded the limit by two hours per week in most cases.
The players also said the amount of time they spent on football activities during the season exceeded the weekly limit of 20 hours and often exceeded the daily limit of four hours. They said football staff often watched seven-on-seven offseason scrimmages that are supposed to be voluntary and that only training staff are allowed to attend.
Near the end of last season, the school released embarrassing details of an internal audit that discovered Rodriguez's team failed to file forms tracking how much time players spent on football during his first season and the following offseason.
The audit looked into compliance areas for several Michigan teams, including the football and men's basketball programs. Auditors reviewed practice logs for a week during the season and a week in the offseason.
It found "a concern" that the football program failed to file monthly Countable Athletically Related Activities forms created by the school to track how much players work out and practice. The forms are a tool to comply with the NCAA rules.
The school report did not find issues of noncompliance -- a key issue for NCAA investigators -- but acknowledged the practice logs for football were not available to be reviewed when the audit was conducted. The forms since had been turned in on a timely basis, according to the school.
"My reading of the situation is we had a breakdown of communication," Brandon said Tuesday. "We found we were not being vigilant in the way those (time records) were being filled and managed."
The time record system that the football staff designed "was too cumbersome to manage" and is being changed.

usc should probably pay some attention to whatever punishment TTUN gets from this. If TTUN gets ball-tagged, relatively speaking, then USC might as well get a bottle of KY, bend over, grab their ankles, and hope that Paul Dee doesn't have a lot of staying power.

The USC matter will be settled well before the matter with Michigan is (NCAA is supposed to rule on the USC issue within 8-10 weeks, whereas they'll wait until the Michigan responds and appears before the infractions committee in the summer).

That is the biggie. There are a lot of minor infractions out there and every team commits something to some degree. The False and misleading info could be the gasoline on the fire and will hurt Michigan.

Ann Arbor's favorite news source already has the presser up. Check it out, it looks likes DickRod flips off the camera subtly at the beginning. :biggrin:

  1. It's not subtle.
  2. He wasn't flipping off the cameraman; he was flipping off the new AD.
DickRod. Still a monumental ass.

As much as I would love to see the hammer come down on this, ultimately the rules are in place to prevent one team from gaining a competitive advantage.
There is clear evidence that this did not happen.

I totally disagree. They went from 3-9 to 5-7. All that extra practice time garnered them a 67% increase of wins from year one to year two!!!11!!barwis!!
