Sure thing Tommy………
…….. Jim Harbaugh’s rule breaking, a Sign Stealing Scandal, and a Michigan administrator whining going public saying, ‘The NCAA’s punishment is too harsh’. And now you saying ‘it’s time to move on.
Tell you what Tommy, You have Michigan return the Tarnished Nattie Title Trophy and then we’ll talk about ‘moving on’.

Not sure they can take the trophy. It isn't a NCAA sanctioned event. They can vacate a bunch of games for that season.

Send it back to the CFP……. they’re the ones who selected Michigan to participate knowing the Wolverines were under investigation. The CFP knew Harbaugh was put in a hotel room on game days, they knew Stalions was accused of illegal actions, they knew the Michigan Administration was battling with the NCAA as a stall tactic…… AND SELECTED THEM ANYWAY, simply because Michigan is a BIG BRAND while knowing the TV guys just love BIG BRANDS, because BIG BRANDS BRINGS BIG TV RATINGS, THAT BRINGS BIG VIEWER RATINGS, THAT BRINGS BIG BUCKS TO THE TV GUYS……. at the expense of THE CREDIBILITY OF THE NATIONAL TITLE and COLLEGE ATHLETICS IN GENERAL.
This would not have happened IF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN HAD DONE THEIR JOB TO BEGIN WITH……… and with that, and considering we now know violations were committed one might ask why Michigan wouldn’t return the trophy and why the CFP wouldn’t demand its return.
……… and with that Your Honor, I rest my case.

Who knows what they do. One thing is for sure, they seem to get away with what ever they do. I wonder if the AD's dad worked for SMU some years ago.

I remember what one of the guys supplying money to SMU said afterwards…… ‘We just decided that if everybody (conference members) are going to cheat we’re going to show they how to cheat.’
……… to me, what’s going now in College Athletics is just Deja vu all over again.

I think it is rare that there is non recruiting type cheating in CFB. Do people try to steal signs ....yes, but that is more gamesmanship than cheating. What Michigan did was plain ole cheating.
