Bullet dodged...

Who dodged the Bullet? Rich Rod?

Doesn't sound good for Michigan.

Doesn't sound as if they have dodged any bullet.

"Michigan may be subject under the “Repeat violator” rule, because these allegations occurred within the five years since the NCAA sanctioned U-M for violations within its basketball program.

The university expects to go before the NCAA committee on infractions in August. That committee will determine what sanctions, if any, to impose."

Five major violations. With specific detail as to each violation.

Heard on a radio report (so it may or may not be accurate) the people at Michigan stated there was nothing new in the NCAA report the institution did not uncover in its investigation (and isn't that a shock - like the school will tell the NCAA "oh, by the way, you missed these other violations") - which implies the school does not dispute the findings.

Exceeding the number of permissible coaches. Too much practice time. Making mandatory summer workouts. Coach failing to properly monitor his staff. Institution compliance officers failing to properly monitor staff. All involving activities that lead to a direct competitive advantage (not that Michigan made benefit from this advantage).

And the icing on the cake - Michigan is inside the repeat offender window.

I am sensing a post-season ban of two years. Doubt this will include a loss of scholarships as it did not involve any recruiting infractions.

We are the ones who dodged a bullet. We should thank Rich's wife for changiing his mind.

No doubt Joe. We dodged the bullet. We would've had players bailing left and right along with the NCAA setting up an extension office on campus.

Who dodged the Bullet?

We are the ones who dodged a bullet.

There we go.

Whether or not we should thank Coach Moore is really the issue. I appreciate him 'under bidding' on CRR when he was forced to make an offer...

ha, everyone was thinking Michigan dodged a bullet... thanks Rita

edit below...

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/stewart_mandel/02/23/michigan-ncaa/ looks like they already have a date schedule with NCAA. Some things that caught my attention in the article

Michigan has 90 days to respond to the allegations, after which it is expected to appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions at its Aug. 13-14 meeting in Seattle. Based on the NCAA's stated timeline, the school will likely learn of its sanctions roughly two months later, around the same time we'll find out whether Rodriguez will finally produce a winning Big Ten football team in this, his third season.

....

The party with the most to lose is clearly Rodriguez, whose 26-month stint in Ann Arbor must seem like an eternity at this point both to him and the school's followers. As if the indignity of overseeing the Wolverines' first losing seasons since 1967 wasn't enough, he now stands accused of allowing the first major violations in the program's history.

That's really the crux of the matter here. No, there are no seedy agents or rogue boosters involved in this case. These alleged violations, while seemingly minor, were the direct work of Rodriguez's own staff.

pretty good point, that this is all Coach Rod - who has been coaching for how long again?

"ChaseGoodbread
My question is, if all the extra practicing only bought Rich Rodriguez an 8-16 record, what's UM's record if they HADN'T practiced extra?"

Hahahahahaha
