Avoiding a postseason ban and vacated wins wasn’t good enough for Michigan.
Michigan announced Friday afternoon that it will appeal the punishments it received from the Committee on Infractions on Friday, claiming the decision made “fundamental errors in interpreting NCAA bylaws.”
“We appreciate the work of the Committee on Infractions. But, respectfully, in a number of instances the decision makes fundamental errors in interpreting NCAA bylaws; and it includes a number of conclusions that are directly contrary to the evidence -- or lack of evidence -- in the record. We will appeal this decision to ensure a fair result, and we will consider all other options,” the university said in a statement.
