Right. A minor violation. And the covid dead period. And it was something that wasn't scheduled; the recruit was in town on an unofficial visit and the coaches met up with him and bought him a cheeseburger.
Fun tactic you are trying there but remember UM is now in "repeat offender" land, those others you listed aren't. So perhaps don't try to play the "you should have known" card.
Right. For the cheeseburger it was always a stupid violation. A violation that shouldn’t be a thing. Call this juror nullification.
Sure. All ridiculous. That is also a fact in a world where kids are getting Ferraris now.
Once again, the cheeseburger was the excuse he invented after he was busted meeting with recruits during a prohibited time. He was recruiting them, then claimed he just was buying lunch.
Bold is the key. NOW, not THEN.
The kid was already committed to Michigan and had been for over an entire year. Harbaugh stopped by while he was in town and bought him a cheeseburger during a special covid dead period and then told the NCAA to fuck off. This is fully OK with me.
THat's pretty much what this was. A 4 year punishment for a coach who left college on a 5 year NFL contract....literally a pointless neutered toothless move.
A minor recruiting violation; one that pretty much never results in any kind of NCAA punishment. The actual issue here is that Harbaugh told the NCAA to fuck off about it.
The lies we tell ourselves...
In person recruiting during a dead period is always a no no. Every coach knows that. Then paying for food and worst of all lying about it? Yeah, that's not gonna work out well for UM.
That man is ABOVE REPROACH, SIR! You watch your mouth!
