Harbaugh and NCAA Agreement is Off
Harbaugh expected to coach all games this year, guess we’ll see what happens after that
August 12th, 2023 at 6:58 PM ^
Michigan is the two-time defending BIG champion, 2CFP playoffs, and we are starting the season ranked #2!
the hell is wrong with you !?
August 12th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
Fuck off Maizen.
August 12th, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
It's nice to know that whatever major disagreements we all have, we can all at least agree that you have the most consistently shit hot takes here.
August 13th, 2023 at 1:53 AM ^
You are the worst kind of troll...not an enemy troll, but a homer troll.
August 13th, 2023 at 8:28 AM ^
lol
Michigan has the #6 class in the country. Shut the fuck up.
August 13th, 2023 at 10:30 AM ^
That JH shit stinks amidst an ncaa investigation after 2 years of embarrassing nfl "courtship"s is a controversial take tells you everything about this board. Lord help us all! Somewhere David Koresh is smiling.
August 13th, 2023 at 12:00 PM ^
I love when there is zero panic from 100 players on the team but we project things on to 3-4 recruits. You think if shit was going south we would have exactly zero starting quality players transferring? You think some high school kid knows more than our players? Come on man grow up.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:14 PM ^
I find it concerning that this is hanging over him and he still hasn't signed a new contract. When Ono stepped in it seemed like everything would be resolved, but there hasn't been any news on that front for a long time. Why? Has Jim decided that this is his final season in AA?
August 13th, 2023 at 8:31 AM ^
Could it be that Ono wasn't the savior and Warde wasn't the devil like everyone made it out to be?
Could it be that Harbaugh is under contract and isn't interested in negotiating right now?
Could it be that Michigan and Harbaugh have agreed to wait until the NCAA case is resolved?
...It could be any or all of these things. And all would make sense. The BPONE on this board of "worst case scenario" is exhausting.
Sure, it could he his final season, but it could be 5 other things as well and there is no indication that one is more likely than the other.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^
Good, fuck the NCAA and their bullshit, subjective penalties.
Ooh, you lied about providing hamburgers, you deserve the worse punishment....fucking assholes.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
this x10,000,000,000,000
August 12th, 2023 at 5:33 PM ^
I like the cut of you gib, sir.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:37 PM ^
And I like the cut of your glib, sir.
[PS I think it's "jib," a kind of sail. The way different ships "cut"—shaped and trimmed—their jibs was an identifier.)
August 12th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
You sure about that? I think these guys would know better.
August 12th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
Once again, I'm laughin' out loud.
August 12th, 2023 at 11:25 PM ^
When you need a Gibb and a jib.
August 13th, 2023 at 9:00 AM ^
I'd rather listen to these dudes than go sailing. Unless you're talking abut this kind of sailing:
August 12th, 2023 at 5:56 PM ^
He committed violations regardless of how you childishly try to candy coat it.
Your swearing makes you sound like the childish temper tantrum type.
Harbaugh needs to take his lumps and move on regardless of how lame the charges might appear.
It’s gonna hurt recruiting. You can’t cuss your way out of it 🙄
August 12th, 2023 at 5:59 PM ^
This guy is clearly a Spartan/Buckeye troll.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
Not necessarily. He could enjoy self imposed Wolverine paw flagellation, everyday.
August 12th, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
He seems to be the latest Maizen account.
August 13th, 2023 at 5:42 AM ^
What’s worse? A new Maizen account or a new Maizen-like troll?
I would argue the latter - Michigan was still coming out of its nearly decade long funk when Maizen was doing his thing. This asshole is trolling a top 5, 2 time defending B1G champion.
If he is a Michigan fan, it’s like he has forgotten the whole plummet to the depths of irrelevance and near death event for the program.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:00 PM ^
Hey M Realist, like the NCAA, you're full of shit. You sound like a dickhead troll.
Ooh, I'm sorry, did I cuss too much?
August 12th, 2023 at 6:05 PM ^
Serious question: is this Rainer Saban?
August 12th, 2023 at 6:18 PM ^
I hope you do something that will require the mods to remove your ignorance from this site. Start by understanding "realist". As a hint, it is not a provocateur that tries to represent a point of view or perception that is based on a biased set of beliefs.
Go back to your "group" and pound sand.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:27 PM ^
The actual violations were level 2. The NCAA said that he lied to them which was probably not true.
August 12th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Its about time you head back to the RCMB.
August 12th, 2023 at 7:48 PM ^
The use of emojis, of course, is a sign of true erudition.
August 12th, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
What he did would have been a violation in the past, those days are long gone. Take a hike troll, we don't care. I hope next time he buys them each 2 hamburgers!
August 12th, 2023 at 9:10 PM ^
"Realist," noun, the misguided belief that oneself is brilliant, everyone else is an idiot, and telling them how stupid they are leads to productive conversations.
August 12th, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
😂 Ok…..
August 13th, 2023 at 7:49 AM ^
We can send your sorry ass to Bolivia.
August 14th, 2023 at 8:46 AM ^
I'm just going to start upvoting your comments because your life goal is have the most downvotes of all time. You probably twist a cap off a wine cooler every time you get negged.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:15 PM ^
The violation isn't really the hamburgers, it is more that they found evidence that Harbaugh impended/mislead an official investigation on recruiting site visit during a "no contact period" - which is technically a "Level 1" infraction.
Level 1 infraction usually result in a minimum ~6 game suspension and scholarship reductions. That's why Warde "negotiated" down to 4 games and no scholarship reductions.
In a black and white world, that was considered a "win," but the reason for the investigation was stupid to begin with because almost all programs contact recruits during dead periods.
August 12th, 2023 at 10:19 PM ^
I think it’s important to note that the NCAA claims to have evidence that Harbaugh mislead investigators. And they have offered zero proof of this. Stating it as a fact instead of an allegation with without proof is, IMO, wrong and gives the NCAA much, too much, credit for being a reliable arbiter of the facts.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:07 PM ^
This should have been the approach from the start - dare the NCAA to do something when the track record demonstrates they will not.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:09 PM ^
By this time next year, the power of the NCAA should go from miniscule to non-existent.
I'm sure JH knows this better than any of us. The question does remain why the deal is off. Who had a problem with it, and why?
August 12th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
Jim told Michigan in January he had no plans of serving a suspension. I shared some info back then about it, as it was on the table back in January. I’m sure he expressed to them again that he had no plans to serve it.
In the meantime, they had a plan in place for the suspension, if it did end up happening, but Harbaugh told Santa and Warde his feelings about the suspension.
If they try and make him serve it in 2024, assume he’ll head for the NFL.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:59 PM ^
Funny - Jimmy isn’t bigger than the NCAA. This will end poorly for Michigan if Harbaugh doesn’t wise up. He’s important to Michigan - the rest of the country and the NCAA doesn’t give a rats ass about Jim Harbaugh.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:04 PM ^
TV networks do, dumbfuck. We know who runs the sport and it isn’t the NCAA.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:18 PM ^
The NCAA doesn’t give a rats ass about Jim Harbaugh…why then are they investigating him?
August 12th, 2023 at 6:29 PM ^
If you are truly a realist, then when in the past 10 years has pushing back against the NCAA been a failed strategy? The evidence and reality is against you sir.
You blaming and bashing Harbaugh reveals your realism.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:36 PM ^
Troll realist.
August 12th, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
A baby's pinky finger is larger than the NCAA at this point. They have no meaningful power anymore. Everyone with a brain and eyes can see that. Which means you, I assume, are a jellyfish.
August 12th, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
ESPN’s article on this subject states:
The negotiated resolution between Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and the NCAA over alleged recruiting violations was not approved by the NCAA Committee on Infractions
This makes it sound like the NCAA infractions committee wants a more serious punishment. If they do apply a more serious penalty, I would hope that Warde takes them to court and finally breaks up the NCAA.
August 12th, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
Yes. I thought the same thing too. The NCAA wants a more severe penalty. Jim is fighting back!
August 12th, 2023 at 11:12 PM ^
I would hope that Warde takes them to court and finally breaks up the NCAA.
I don't think you said it sarcastically, but maybe it should be sarcastic?
August 12th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
Good. Fuck em. Another embarrassment for the NCAA. College football should be happy on Jim's behalf.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:02 PM ^
🙄 Jim will end up being a laughing stock in college football unless he realizes he’s not privileged or bigger than the NCAA - Harbaugh’s ego is gonna get a wake up call if he doesn’t wise up.
He’s already an odd ball - very good coach - but Captain Quirk.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:28 PM ^
He is literally more powerful than the NCAA. Even your sparty buds were laughing at how ridiculous the NCAA's suspension was.
