You nailed it! Perfect gif for the moment.
... can you have the SF logo be replaced with the Block M as the water cascades over him?
Let's thank the baby Jesus they didn't win the Superbowl that year. He would still be in the NFL.

Hail to the Victors!
Harbaugh FTW!!
ALL HAIL HARBAUGH!!!
That didn't take long
Suck it SEC.
Fuck Sankey, the SEC and the ACC
You are missing one...add Delaney to that list. Can't believe he was going to just sit in the corner and let this happen.
Someone please post that photo of the Northern Civil War General with the Michigan hat on

though I kind of want to see the winking girl breast lift one now too
thank you!
Probably the right decision.

Definitely!
Probably the right decision.
DOJ investigations were something the NCAA wanted no part of. The NCAA knows that any investigation involving the SEC would be very damaging for them.

Not surprised one bit... Even without the DOJ look around, the ban wasn't going to stand. Too much against it publicity wise. School presidents are smarter than the people running the SEC and ACC athletic conferences...
Harbaugh runs college football
Ban lifted? You don't say...
for everyone!
I saw this on Twitter, too. Rittenberg...
Schwing!

There is win everywhere in this whole mini-drama. Except for the PAC12, SEC, ACC and their lapdogs.
Not so much win for them.
If it was anyone other than the NCAA, I would also be encouraged by this (from the official NCAA Statement:
“The Board of Directors is interested in a holistic review of the football recruiting environment, and camps are a piece of that puzzle,” said Board of Directors chair Harris Pastides, president of the University of South Carolina. “We share the Council’s interest in improving the camp environment, and we support the Council’s efforts to create a model that emphasizes the scholastic environment as an appropriate place for recruiting future student-athletes.”
A holistic review of recruiting at FBS schools would be great for Michigan and most of the B1G, assuming that the review was done competently. Unfortunately, we cannot make that assumption.
*excluding bag men.
I read that on the NCAA page. That whole statement smacks of academic doublespeak and 'harruummmpphing' about both the BoD and D1 Council being on the same page all along. I call bullshit! The BoD struck down a blatant territorial grab that pissed off the nation enough that they simply couldn't allow it.
11 against the ban, 1 abstention (and let's not forget everyone's favorite pirate!)
But I'm referencing the whole mini-drama. It's never a win to have your representative vote against something without a mandate, then have that betrayal of your constituency made public.
Of all the Power 5 conferences, I think the PAC12 did the most damage to their image. Everyone already knew the SEC and ACC were morally bankrupt.
I dunno. If anything, they shitcan the loser and regain the high ground.

Dump good ol' Chianti Dan?!?!
This is great news since we have the hardest working coach in college football! Does anyone know if the NCAA intends to impose any restrictions that fall short of an outright ban (e.g., maximum number of camps, etc.)?

I think the term I read was that there would be a "comprehensive review" of football recruiting, including camps. Presumably that review will include off site spring break practices, but not consider a ban on the continued use of bagmen in the SEC.
