The long, winding and often weird saga surrounding Michigan football and its sign-stealing scandal appears to finally be drawing to a close.

The NCAA has notified relevant parties in the Wolverines’ infractions case that an announcement on the investigation’s findings and punishments will be released on Aug. 15, a source confirmed to the Detroit Free Press, a part of the USA TODAY Network, on Aug. 14.

This may be something to watch here. There's only been two situations in the last 15 or so years. The one you'll remember the most: Sandusky and Penn State, The second was Pitino and the NC he won at Louisville.

It just seems ... odd.

Larry Ellison's Bank Account:

- $50K fine + 10% of FB team’s budget fine equivalent to loss of 2 postseason $$$ (CFP/bowl) fine equivalent to cost of 10% of all FB scholarships

Oh that's nice. They didn't seem to care about that any time in the past. And why were there no wins vacated? So UM gets off easy... as expected.

It’s written almost as an afterthought but the 14-week prohibition on recruiting communications will hurt. All the mail to prospects is gone. They’re left with phone calls and face-to-face meetings.

...and boosters, and agents, and future NIL partners.

I felt that part was the most hollow.

The NCAA is a joke. They need to at least apologize to every program that they slammed in the past andMADE THEM VACATE WINS AND FORFIET GAMES.

big 10 crap!!

We learned something today that's been on the books; right or wrong. There is no vacating wins unless there is an ineligible player.

While it's true one, or a group of, boosters could come in and cover the fines one thing is true. That's a hell of a dollar number: over three times their last fine against a school. It's bigger than the vast majority of schools total budgets that aren't in the P4 conferences.

As I read it, recruiting communications aren’t limited to school-to-prospect.

Where did you read that? The only thing I've seen is this:

To me,, this is much worse than a player selling a textbook and keeping the proceed, which doesn't enhance a player's skills or ability, and therefore, doesn't impact a team's (nor a player's) competitive level.s. The freaking coaching staff cheats to gain a competitive advantage. How does that not deserve vacated wins?

“…prohibition on recruiting communications in the football program…” It doesn’t say by who so it could be applied to everyone related to the football program. It identifies the football program specifically as being impacted (in the football program not by the football program) so it doesn’t apply to basketball, women’s tennis or other sports.

That's the point. Oracle's owner isn't the football program. The NCAA has no control or power over what or who he contacts.

I'm thinking if they tried to step in they are looking at civil litigation for restricting earning (for someone not involved in UM's fiasco: more innocent than those left 'unpunished' still in Ann Arbor.)

We can't compare the two. As messed up as the textbook story was IF a player received a $2 test booklet and didn't pay for it? He's ineligible.

This doesn't affect the eligibility of SA's.

No one is saying there shouldn't be a heavier sanction—that I've seen. But, they can't because it's not in the bylaws.

I understand, but an ineligible coaching staff should be something too. Bylaws should be updated. oh well. onward to hopefully a great season for Bama!!
