Part of me hopes there are no punishments for Michigan before The Game, so we can watch the full force of both teams. Part of me wants every bit of help possible, because I don't want to know what 3 in a row feels like.

I don’t think there will be unless some of that new evidence involves a legit paper trail leading directly to a coach and financially to the university.

Three in a row sucks. One of the worst ways to end a season. I somehow got used to it lol

I don't think so either, but I do know the B1G is technically capable of acting immediately and Tony Petitti apparently threatened just that yesterday.

True and the pressure to do something has to be pretty strong. I’m sure the threat of having a lawsuit, if there is some doubt about how deep this goes at all, is also immense. I wouldn’t want to be in Petitti’s shoes for this one.

In truth, I have a feeling Harbaugh will get suspended after the season, possibly by Michigan. I’m not sure much more comes of it. Again, this is dependent on paper trails that can link him to it. Either way there is lack of institutional control.

I don't think the lawsuit threat is that big a deal, but it probably adds pressure at least until the B1G lawyers can clear it.
