Threat Level Has a Lot to Keep Track Of, So It'd Be Nice if James Franklin Could Show Up to Work Just Once in His Life

Maybe Threat Level should upgrade to a biweekly column (no, don't) because at this point every New Thing that comes out about the Michigan sign-stealing scandal has been replaced within 48-72 hours with a dumber, funnier New Thing that makes it difficult to summarize in a 700 word missive every Monday.

Like, the jokes about Connor Stalions allegedly running a used vacuum chop shop out of his Ann Arbor residence and Blake Corum's name appearing on business records with Stalions essentially write themselves (something something Michigan's running game sucking something whatever I'll workshop it later), but then a few days later Michigan belatedly responds to the Big Ten with the whiniest Dear John letter they could muster, Tony Petitti and the Big Ten responds to that by suspending Harbaugh for three games (kind of), and then Michigan files for a temporary restraining order to prevent the punishment from happening, and then it turns out that the squabbles of one unruly football program and its parent institution isn't worth getting out of bed early on a weekend to local judges, so the whole thing gets pushed back another week.
