JUB: 5yrs 55mil on the table for Jim.

It's a hypothetical.

No, but no one remembers the last time that it had been 1469 Days since tsio beat Michigan.

Jim Tressel got a 5-year show cause. 

I believe Tressel received a 5 year show cause. 
 

Tennessee was recently hit with a boatload of Level I sanctions and Jeremy Pruitt received a 6 year show cause. 

Yeah, Ezeh-E is taking that position below, and honestly, it's not a bad point. Of course, we don't know 1) if this is true and 2) if it is true, what is the language that is causing trouble?

For all we know, it's the same standard language that UM has always had, and now it's Harbaugh who is balking at it because he's suddenly concerned about it. Even if that is the case, your point still stands, but it's not necessarily Michigan adding in new language (although it probably is).

I don't know the ins and outs of potential NCAA punishments, but they didn't bring someone in to help Moore out for those 3 games this year and they luckily had Minter's dad around to take over for Partridge. Could they hire someone for 1 year to take on certain roles? I don't know. Regardless, it's not a great alternative, but still an alternative.

'This is what's wrong with our country."

Good lord. Take a break.

JH and M have the leverage now.

How? Because they won some games? Didn't stop the Big Ten from suspending Harbaugh, and they didn't even have the bylaws that allowed them to. The NCAA is actually following its own rule book.

WTF?

I also think the culture hea created is great but... you do realize the main reason we have no transfers right now is because we're in the playoffs, right? Come mid January we will almost assuredly have several portal departures.  That doesn't mean the sky is falling in Ann Arbor, it's just how the sport is 

U FIRE when fired upon.

Ah yes, like when all the drip drip of the Stallions stuff came out and Michigan "FIRED" upon everyone by... releasing the Purdue/OSU/Rutgers stuff and that was it.

If the NCAA were to come down hard on the program and the way out was for Harbaugh to leave, that's a reasonable out to look at especially because Harbaugh has already looked to the NFL multiple times before. They're not firing him and he's going to the unemployment line. He's taking another job.

Also, fuck off with that pussy and what's wrong with our country shit. You sound like an 80 year old that's mad a black man was president once.

I'm just not that confident that the NCAA won't do something crazy and excessive. 

NCAA has already admitted that there is no evidence implicating Harbaugh 

There is no evidence connecting him thus far. 

I think the burger-gate thing is an apt example here. The violations were nothing shocking. OSU self-reported very similar violations 4 and 2 years ago. That resulted in 2 months of no recruiting for 2 assistant coaches and a 30 minute reduction of team events for a couple of weeks.

In Harbaugh's case, it has turned into potentially 6 games or whatever the level 1 violation carries since he "didn't cooperate." Now, I assume Harbaugh didn't cooperate to mean he basically said as little as possible to the NCAA and they got their underwear in a wad and went after him. But for low level recruiting and coaching violations they're willing to go to the mat? What happens with this stuff that seems bigger (even though rules might not have technically been broken)? 

I mean, can they though? Like, the Big Ten utilized a nebulous "sportsmanship" rule to suspend him 3 games. Michigan didn't fight it for a few reasons, but I wouldn't assume the NCAA to follow their own rules because they don't constantly.
