Michigan's president is doubling down on stupidity as well. Goes to the top of the chain at Michigan.The cheating scheme Harbaugh had going was petty complex and a lot of people involved and then Jim claims he didn’t know anything about it but I’m sure he used the information. It would be way better if he fessed up instead of doubling down on stupid he deserves to be fired
What does it cost for a team to leave the B1G?
To be fair, in the SEC they wouldn't get punished at all because they all cheat.Michigan has no football identity without Ohio State. They're not going anywhere.
And I'm not quite following the logic anyway:
-We cheated
-We don't deny cheating
-We got caught. There's a paper trail
-We got a slap on the wrist with a wet noodle over it
-We are mad and going to the SEC
I'm not sure how going to the SEC fixes any of the above.
Michigan must be of the opinion that the SEC doesn't care if their conference members are cheating, and is therefore a better fit for a program that can't seem to stop breaking NCAA rules?
However, if they want to leave on their own volition, I don't necessarily think we should try to stop them either.Michigan can do whatever they want to do. I guess the question for the rest of the league is are we better off with or without Michigan. I say we are better with them here.
If that's the case (and I'm not saying it is) that's a reason they WON'T go.because they all cheat.
Why? One less mouth to feed. They have proven they can’t win anything that matters even when they do cheat. I’d rather play the fart sniffers in southern Cal than those in Ann ArborMichigan can do whatever they want to do.

The Michigan president is a Harbaugh sycophant. He'll do everything he can to extend Harbaugh's contract and give him a big raise.The cheating scheme Harbaugh had going was petty complex and a lot of people involved and then Jim claims he didn’t know anything about it but I’m sure he used the information.

To me, the issue is even deeper... it's about being a competitive championship level football program. Something the Big Ten hasn't really been for a long time.If that's the case (and I'm not saying it is) that's a reason they WON'T go.
The issue here isn't whether Michigan cheated. There's no denying it occurred.
The issue is that Michigan does not believe they should be punished for cheating.
Who is demanding they be punished? Their fellow conference members.
If they go to a place where everyone in the conference is cheating, and therefore nobody makes an issue of it, and therefore the competitive advantage balances out, what awaits them?
TCU 51 Michigan 45 (the last game they couldn't have cheated)
2-4 (their record in the last season they didn't cheat)
If that's a serious consideration (it isn't) then call their bluff. They aren't going anywhere unless they convince Ohio State to hold their hand.

And one less team to bring in viewers and media. Who is left if they leave? OSU and the new Pac members? People complain about the west now. Sure they haven't won a NC for a long time but there is definitely a brand there, a blue blood and most recently have been in the playoffs.Why? One less mouth to feed.

Wouldn't that be something if Michigan and OSU left for the SEC...And one less team to bring in viewers and media. Who is left if they leave? OSU and the new Pac members?

Cool.. surprised we haven’t seen video of other teams spying yet..Everyone in the BIG cheats. Alot on here have their heads in the sand. Just makes them feel better saying the SEC cheats because they own the BIG.

Was it last week or the week before that evidence of this was supposed to come to light? Something about 5 BIG teams doing the same thing and UM was going to shine a light on it?Everyone in the BIG cheats. Alot on here have their heads in the sand. Just makes them feel better saying the SEC cheats because they own the BIG.
Teams like Clemson who have accomplished far more in recent history are begging to get in. It's not like Michigan would make or break the B1G.I’d be equally as shocked as when the Huskers announced their move to the B1G. Crazy landscape now but likely saber rattling… they know how much power they hold in the B1G. Would be fun to watch the meltdown nonetheless. I’m sure the B1G has a long list of interested applicants

It's a mute point anyways because Michigan isn't giving up millions to join a lesser conference just because they got their feelers hurt.You’re probably right… just hate seeing these long-standing rivalries go away. It’s gotta affect viewership but the streaming dollars outweigh history now. Not what college football is all about in my mind but here we are
