This is the perfect first response to this news.

... can you have the SF logo be replaced with the Block M as the water cascades over him?
Just barely beat me to it.

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.

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!

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.
Dump good ol' Chianti Dan?!?!
