Neither CBS Sports nor ESPN have anything about Michigan in their top headlines. I don't even see anything on their main pages.
Are we sure this is as big of a deal nationally as people here are claiming/want to believe?
Yeah Finebaum is angry but he usually is about something. There's definitely been articles about it. But if this was truly on the level everyone here believes wouldn't it be the main headline?

Need to make an exception and pay under rookie scale. 😂
The Big Ten loses nothing financially by doing it either. A one loss Big Ten champ still goes to the playoff.
It's not just public pressure; it's pressure from the conference members. All 13 other schools want action taken immediately.
Why wouldn't they? I imagine that they have seen the same evidence their coaches have.
You keep saying nothing is lost financially which isn't true. At all
There's zero proof all 13 schools want action taken. Provide any proof all 13 ADs and school presidents have said that. You're still talking about coaches
So you admit you're assuming they will and don't actually know that, right?
Coaches wanting sanctions and ADs wanting sanctions are very very different things.
Why don’t we all just call it day, and accept rampant cheating and illegal behavior as normal in college football. I’m positive that Vegas can create the necessary algorithms to accommodate this and create an accurate line. And isn’t that what really matters?

It is two of top stories under NCAAF on ESPN. It is top story on Yahoo sports NCAAF about Purdue HC being upset. It seems like you are hoping it is not big, yet it is. Not child abuse level like Bo/Anderson scandal but big.
let's indulge your fantasy...UM gets banned from the big ten championship..they run the table and go 12-0...cfp says no UM since they are under sanction, not in the conference championship..no to 11-1 osu who lost to Michigan...two $ec teams get in..that's the e$pn wet dream
Right it's not on the main page of any site. You have to dig to find it. If it was a huge story it'd be front and venter.
Why would I care if it's big or not? Doesn't even make sense. Many here are acting like the world is ending over this and the Big Ten is being forced to act. That's wishful thinking.
Are you willing to concede that this year it is very unlikely that more than one Big Ten team will make the playoff? If that's the case, then it doesn't matter to the Big Ten if that team is UM, OSU or PSU. UM being banned from the post-season only matters from their share of bowl revenue (or playoff revenue). The per team share of playoff revenue is <$500K per team, which isn't very much in the scheme of these budgets. But so long as PSU or OSU make the playoff, zero dollars are lost from the CFP.
Your refusal to admit that ADs take their football advice from the football coaches is comical.
It's the biggest story in college football right now. That is very big for cf, not that much of a story for the rest of sports.
No, if Michigan is banned from post-season, they don't play in Big Ten Championship. Which means OSU or PSU does. That winner absolutely would go to the CFP. The only way the SEC gets 2 in would be with an undefeated champion (Georgia) and a one loss other team. But that team would have to come from the East because otherwise they'd lose to UGA in the champioship game. Only candiate would be Missouri....LOL.
Why would the ADs differ in their opinion from the head coaches on a topic like this?
It doesn't affect any other sports.
It is unlikely to substantially affect budgets.
Where is this nonsensical theory coming from?
We have 2 teams in the top 3. Unless we beat Michigan it isn't unlikely.
Your refusal to accept that taking advice doesn't mean doing what they want is terrifying.
Because football coaches are looking at it from a competition standpoint only. ADs look at it from everything including financial (stating it doesn't have a substantial impact is false) and what it may hold for them in the future.
ADs and coaches often don't even get along let alone agree with them.
If Michigan wins out it is not a lock the Big Ten gets a team if Michigan is banned. Ohio State, not us, would have a great shot but they also have a great shot at 11-1 with Michigan not banned.
Banning Michigan hurts us not helps us. You don't seem to grasp that.
Only way 2 SEC teams REMOTELY get in if 1 loss Bama beats undefeated UGA in the SEC ccg. Regardless of fantasy...
Wonder how long before you get picked on for the $ in SEC? Certain posters lament that, yet I wonder if they will say a word...
If you mean me, yeah the $ is ridiculous but I'm busy dealing with UNC's ridiculousness.
I agree though...11-1 Bama has to beat 12-0 Georgia for the SEC to get two. I don't believe Washington runs the table. And the Big XII might already be out.
That is fine but just a reminder that Sandusky was not on staff when that occurred. Anderson was staff as team doctor. Over 1000 victims..good job sweeping under rug by throwing 1/2 B instead of actually investigating.
And you make a great point. They did sweep it under the rug. What administration do you believe handled it better? And isn't the responsibility of the administration to make major things like this as least impactful as possible?
Your plan conveniently takes until after the psu Michigan game of course 😂😂😂
All you buckeyes love you some wolverines when they play PSU.
I am fine with no B2G in the CFP if that’s what happens. Better than having cheaters represent the conference.
Playing by the rules important.
It’s also after the 125th Game of the Century!!! Can’t diminish The Game…..
Fox suing for damages relating to Michigan getting punished for violating league by laws is laughable.
Maybe the Ann Arbor chamber of commerce can too.
Fox, all the schools, coaches and more should sue Michigan and Hairball personally, along with the coordinators, for damages. Make them personably liable for what they did.
If it could be done quicker, I would be more than happy with that. I was just throwing out rough guesses as to what an accurate but quick process would be. You have to collect the info, get it to Michigan and give Michigan time to respond. Would love for PSU to foot stomp Michigan or Michigan to forfeit game.
Would prefer the former. And, I really hate to say it, I would prefer OSU to do the same.
And you're perfectly fine in having that viewpoint. I care about the money involved far more than whether or not Michigan plays for a title or not.
Michigan forfeiting doesn't help Penn State at all. Clearly you don't care about that but in no way is that the ideal situation as a Lions fan
I care mostly about OSU, but if PSU were to beat Michigan, I would be very happy about that. My main goal in this discussion is to stop the cheaters, Michigan, from benefitting from their cheating
