The Athletic Reporting that NCAA Infractions Include Analyst Coaching on Field

Submitted by Maizinator on January 5th, 2023 at 7:03 PM

The article is paywalled, so I'll just summarize key points about infractions:

1.  3 sources confirmed that one is for an analyst coaching players on the field
2.  primary source indicated one involves text messages that violated rules.

The NCAA are fools if they bring the hammer down on negligible infractions that are self reported. The logical consequence is that no one will self report if there is no leniency for doing so. At that point the only fools would be those still self reporting. 
 

And this is where I grit my teeth and hope that neither the NCAA nor my school’s administration are fools…

100% this. From what I heard, Michigan gave the NCAA the middle finger for digging into this with everything else going on. 
 

This probably wouldn’t have even gone public if it weren’t for Michigans response. Now the NCAA is going to come down hard on Michigan as a result. Potentially on Harbaugh himself.

Warde: 'Mr. President, I'd like to have a meeting to discuss the investigation.'

NCAA: 'No, we have what we need.

Warde: 'But, uh, I don't agree and would like the chance to refute.'

NCAA: 'No.  We have what we need and there's no reason to refute or discuss it.'

Warde: 'Well, okay, but I don't like this.'

 

Warde doesn't strike me as the guy who goes out on a limb to defend his employees if it would make for a public fray...  Do Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 bring up any memories?

The NCAA is so corrupt and broken that it would be difficult for me to care less whether Michigan violated the rules.  Seriously, who gives a crap?  As someone said in earlier thread, programs get away with murder but jaywalkers, now that’s serious.  Fuck those guys.

A private "not-for-profit" billion dollar organization that has monopoly power to generate multi-million dollar annual compensation packages off of the labor adults but somehow also has the legal authority to violate several standard labor laws while unfairly limiting the ability of those adults to profit off of their own actions?

You mean those guys?

Yeah, fuck those guys.

Good thing they got the wolverines on these egregious fouls. This isn't something trivial like hookers and blow and students taking tests for athletes ... (Louisville-North Carolina)
