'Shame on Michigan Football - Again' ... and why

This is an opinion piece. That admission is in no way intended as a defense or an apology. Simply put, it shouts 'Shame on Michigan Football - Again'.

In the 2021, 2022, and 2023 college football seasons, the Michigan Football program systematically cheated. A cover-up by the Wolverines was unsuccessful. As always, the NCAA investigation took far too long. As described in the recently announced ruling, the NCAA found "overwhelming evidence" of Michigan's guilt.

  • "Over the course of three seasons, the Michigan football program committed violations involving an off-campus, in-person scouting scheme, impermissible recruiting inducements and communications, head coach responsibility rules, individuals' failures to cooperate and Michigan's failure to monitor, according to a decision released by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel.
