If you were a Michigan State, Ohio State, or any college football fan hoping for a harsh punishment for Michigan levied by the NCAA on Friday, you were probably let down.
It was reported by multiple outlets on Thursday that Michigan would know its punishment on Friday around noon, but the report surfaced earlier than expected.
Pete Thamel reported the findings by the NCAA Committee of Infractions, and they essentially handed Michigan a small slap on the wrist for the cheating scandal that took place from 2021-23.
Sources: Among Michigan’s punishments in the NCAA COI ruling, per me and @danwetzel:
*Michigan receives a significant fine, expected to be more than $20 million, from loss of postseason football revenue for the next two seasons.
