wookGive me a break do you really think U of M is the only school that is guilty of this? You do certain things to win.
I'm sure a lot of schools bend the rules and the rules are to a degree based upon semantics--what is really "mandatory" and so forth. But the allegations against Michigan blow the rules out of the water--and apparently the compliance office wasn't paying attention. Sounds like a situation ripe for those pesky NCAA words "lack of institutional control." Another point: most kids playing football, even at "big time" schools aren't going to earn a dime playing football, whereas, the schools themselves are making millions off of them. True, they are getting their education paid for, but what good is that if the rules aren't enforced and they don't actually have time to go to class or study?
