Sanctions
Here is what I hope happens.
NCAA abolishes 2008 & 2009 from the record books, they never happened.
2010 marks a new beginning for UofM.
GO BLUE!
Edit:Not 0-24, rather 0-0, never happened. Bowl streak still alive. I still have hair on my head. I never had to punch my TV. Nothing,last game I remember is Cap One Bowl. I'm sooo exited about RR being hired.

You do know they only get rid of wins, right? Our record would change from 8-16 to 0-24. Given the choice I'll keep the crappy seasons.

Dude look it up. It happened to the Sooners recently. They vacated 8 wins. There record went from 8-4 to 0-12. The NCAA doesn't care about losses, only the wins you got.

read.... sarcasm.... must... take.... everything.... seriously....
And for the record, if our "punishment" consists of having to forfeit the wins for the last two years, I'd take it in a heart beat.

No, when you vacate a season, all games (including losses) are officially stricken from the record. That's what happened to our basketball program.

There will be no need for any sanctions after Brandon's planned "Chappelle Defense" at the hearing:
NCAA, you have a problem with that? You know what you should do? You should sanction me. Sanction me with your army. Oh, wait a minute! You don't have an army! I guess that means you need to shut the fuck up!

Brandon should also use the fif defense. "I plead the Fif. 1, 2, 3, 4, Fif."
February 24th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
But I still prefer the Chewbacca Defense.

I'm late and used the "C.D." on another post sorry Blue in S.B.. But hey it's an air tight D.

I've got a coalition of the willing, I've got 40 schools READY TO ROLL, SON. Illinois. Stanford's sending gold-plated bathrooms. Pitt said they're willing to make it rain with Elijah Field's money. Charlie Weis and his sandwich cart. What I'm sayin' is, I am not doing this by myself and I'm not disrespecting the NCAA, even though they don't got no army. Go sell some officially-licensed apparel, bitches.

The NCAA can never take this away...
February 24th, 2010 at 6:19 PM ^
Only because it happened so repetitively
February 24th, 2010 at 6:36 PM ^
I think Michigan should self impose sanctions for no bowl games for two years starting in 2008.
February 24th, 2010 at 6:38 PM ^
They're way ahead of you, man. Way ahead of you.

I would like to see the top 50 or so schools quit the NCAA, form their own sanctioning body, and throw away about 99 percent of the rulebook.
Since the current system is a joke anyway, I would definitely allow players to be paid, and would allow them freedom to sign with whoever they want with no waiting from year to year. Contracts could be for anywhere from one to four years, and players could have as long as they want to play their four years.
Classes would be optional, and there would be no time limits on training or practice. All players would then be guaranteed that they could come back and attend classes whenever they want until they graduate.
As you can tell, I'm not a fan of shamateurism.

a losing record in the years they are targeting? I don't think that makes any sense. Isn't that like kicking out the crutches of a man with a broken leg?
Obviously these allegations don't warrant, much less prove any competitive advantage. If you gain a competitive advantage and still lose to Toledo and MSU twice, then I think the NCAA should take pity on Michigan and take away a couple of LOSSES.
February 24th, 2010 at 9:44 PM ^
+ 1 toyou for equaling losing to toledo and MSU
