Michigan has sent its response to the Big Ten

For those interested in showing support (there are other styles as well).

At the beginning of this process and cheeseburger gate, I would get so annoyed because Michigan could not make any response with an ongoing investigation by the NCAA. Did the B1G with their arrogant approach in trying to handout a punishment with Michigan allow Michigan to give their response that would have been otherwise held back if they would not have stepped in? This whole thing was not supposed to go this way according to the call the 13 teams had with the B1G after Michigan got off the call. I find this hilarious that it is backfiring in a very bad way for them. 

Probably wiping his text and correspondence history.

And I honestly don't mean to belabor this point (although it is kind of fun), but rather the absence of anything from him really does seem like quite the statement (of what, who knows, but something clearly happened here to make him go radio silent all of a sudden).

Still a lot that can happen.

But it seems that Michigan’s multi-front counterattack is having an effect.

Jay Feely has gotten outspoken at times in his post-football career but I still find it notable that he just openly tweeted about OSU players that he played with in the NFL speaking openly of getting paid in college. You don’t generally hear that stuff, but the overreaction from the B1G has opened boxes that they won’t want opened. 

Monday the league sent a notice of potential to administer a punishment and required a response by today.

depends what the PR firm and the lawyers say

With the way everything has happened in this case, yes I would think so 

I'm guessing it'll come out and will say what Santa basically said last week, except maybe a bit more about "treat us equivalent to the other schools" now that this is a much wider story.

I believe Michigan's response would be available under FOIA but that could take a while to get.

I'm not sure why the University wouldn't go public with it.

but politely

Context for the non-history buffs:

I love this.  The U.S. commander basically telling the Germans to fuck off as Bastogne was surrounded.  The good guys won then, too.

Any man that eloquent has got to be saved.  --G Patton

Excellent reference.  I have read more books on that battle than any other as I try to track down the roles of three uncles that were there on the north shoulder, south shoulder, and middle tip but not at Bastogne.  And fortunately, they were all at a wedding 8 years later.

I am amazed at how much information is being pulled 50 years later from personal diaries and forgotten records so that heroic stories can be recovered for history.  Alamo in the Ardennes is gut-wrenching while The Longest Winter is remarkable.

This wins today!
