ANOTHER FUN AUGUST IN MICHIGAN
There's a bit of a Failure To Monitor to-do at Michigan over those unsanctioned workouts that happened a billionteen months ago that we're pretty sure everyone's up to when the appropriate backs are turned. (The documents are available for perusal here, if you're that bored or just get titillated seeing the phrase "atmosphere of compliance.") While the violations are characterized as major, Brian, not known for hysterics where buckets of kittens are not involved, says not so fast with the hand-wringing and scholarship-counting. And our resident favorite Buckeye fan has a fair take on the episode that we can safely say speaks for the entire EDSBS family:

Michigan's program has three months to respond. Hearing's in August. So, there's scant reason to live in February. As you were.

This just in...
The NCAA has announced that it will accept the removal of Forcier’s soul-patch-type-thing as an acceptable form of self-imposed sanctions.
Quadruple hyphen score, btw.
Brian Kelly says no Burger King at 3 AM.

Sometimes, I don't have the words for things.
Fortunately for me, Black Heart Gold Pants has a t-shirt with the appropriate words.

Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

An "atmosphere of compliance"...
…has thus far resulted in three offspring in the Fact household. Sadly, said children have completely polluted that atmosphere.

We are seriously the only program in the country that could manage to get in trouble for enforcing a “go to class” policy. Sheesh.
The NCAA: We care about student-athletes, but only in season. Ditch class all you want out of season and we’ll make sure you don’t get punished for it.

Chapter 141
In which, I observe, other, heretofore “superior” schools, receive their customized tutelage in the meaning of the word “capricious” as delivered by the wise men and women in Kansas City.
Are we really surprised?
The guy who came from West Virginia can’t count time, big deal.
I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

At some point, I’d like to subject all other schools to Drew Sharp and Michael Rosenberg. If for no other reason than to get them out of Michigan, perhaps permanently.
Michigan Commits Major Violations
so the ncaa is currently digging around the campus of miami (ohio) looking for secondary violations in order to dock them 20 scholarships.
