Regardless if there was any early suspensions, it was always going to come down to tOSU beating scUM.

Which is why The Game is as significant this year as it was last year. Possibly even more so - revenge AND affirmation for the Bucks and the coaching staff.

We don't need Penn State to win, but if they physically took a toll, while possibly exposing some weaknesses - that would go a long way towards helping us. All the while we get young DBs playing time as the starters rest and get healthy.

Edit: worth pointing out how close we are to another potential #1 vs #2 matchup.

Only way to truly make this right for the immediate future is to beat them on the field. Plain and simple.

PSU just beat MD and put 51 points on them. They may have broken through and figured out their offensive issues. So, things may get interesting for the TCUN in Happy Valley.

From 11W board, no idea on the legitimacy of the poster, but

TTUN Scandal Part XLV: Harbaughgeddon

Let’s keep it going. too lazy to link the last one. Sue me Mod Edit: Title adjusted for conformity (to aid future site searches) and adding link to Part XLIV
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com

I jumped the gun a little last night supposedly will have clarity no later than Wednesday. Michigan is mad because not only does the big ten want harbaugh suspended indefinitely they also want Moore and minter suspended for the season. Michigan fighting this has also lead to negotiations with the big ten from fox because from what I hear coaches and ADs want their season over and pettiti wants just their staff done for year we’ll now Michigan is realizing how arrogant Michigan is and is now talking ideas and deals if they were to get out of these remaining games being that the psu and osu games will be huge

Do you still think they get the top three? That's the only compromise I can take.

That seems to be what pettiti wanted to do still wasn’t as severe as what everyone else wanted. But the analogy I’ll use is Michigan is that kid that got in trouble and is still acting out so pettiti is turning into the angry mom saying ok keep it up and you’ll really find out what a punishment is

I wonder if Pettiti proposed JH and the coordinators suspended for the season as punishment to make it harder to use the illegally gained information, if Santa didn’t like that then B1G is saying their season is done. And he asks Santa how can I tell the other teams that you aren’t getting a massive, illegally gained advantage from what has already happened?

Yeah you can stop reading after the first point.

This person (maybe is a lawyer but maybe isn’t) states the Big Ten would be breaking their own rules. They wouldn’t be so everything is moot what he says. The big ten has the right to do this and they should from what I’ve read of the rules.

So from that MgoBlow post…

1 - "Likelihood of success on the merits." UM must show that it is LIKELY to win its claim in its Complaint. The court will take evidence (declarations) and sometimes live testimony at a hearing. Legal arguments will include: did the B1G breach a contract (e.g. its own rules) or violate a federal or state law (ehhh probably none applicable) in its actions.

2. "Irreparable harm." UM must show that, absent getting emergency relief, it will suffer harm for which it is not able to be compensated with money damages. That doesn't mean you can't take money for it; it means it would be extremely difficult to compensate the harm with a money award, in part b/c there is no good way to calculate the impact. I think losing your HC when you are competing for a national championship and need to play the #11 and #1 teams in three weeks (plus November Maryland) is, sort of by definition, irreparable harm. And there is also the reputational harm. (I assume Jim will be a named plaintiff so he can assert his own interest in its reputation, on top of UM's reputation.)

3. "Balance of Interests." The court must weight the harm to UM (if there is no injunction) versus the harm to the defendants (if there is an injunction). I think this squarely goes to UM. There is no continuing sign-stealing; we all know about this. If PSU, UM(NTUM) or OSU are too stupid not to change their damn signs by now, that's on them, not us. Besides, is there any evidence Wyld Stalion wen to Lion/Terp/Buck games this year?

Apparently this lawyer thinks all three goes heavily in Michigfans favor. That’s ridiculous.

1. Big Ten isn’t about to be so stupid as to not follow their own rules.

2. Yes there will be harm to Michigan

3. However the harm is not as great as it is toward the other 13 schools.

So in other words 2/3 cancel each other out which leaves did the big ten follow the rules. Just don’t fuck it up Petitie and there’s nothing they can do.

Btw I love how this lawyer says “well we aren’t cheating anymore so there’s really no harm for them”. Wtf is that lol

I’m wondering if scUM loses to PSU this weekend maybe it will give Petitti a bit of a leg for repercussions/suspensions. Petitti is smart and savvy. Attended Harvard law but also has a career as the head of sports tv, so he understands the impact of ratings. Coming from CBS sports and the MLB network, he doesn’t want to damage his product and essentially make scUM unwatchable (because who’s watching if they are banned from post season play?). That said, if PSU can mount a victory it takes a lot of pressure off Petitti “damaging” scUMs viewership and can treat them as a non-CFP contender that broke major rules.
