I believe people should be able to disagree without being disagreeable. But some takes are so lazy, stupid, and factually wrong they deserve whatever they get. Dusty May just coached up a bunch of leftovers into a national powerhouse - and with half the money Kentucky spent.
Two years in, I’m ready to say that the four-team Playoff was superior to the 12-team Playoff in most ways. It succeeded in identifying the best team, protected the regular season and preserved some good non-CFP bowl matchups. Also, fewer decisions for the committee to screw up.
We will have wall-to-wall coverage of five-star RB Savion Hiter and his commitment to Michigan over @TheWolverineOn3 (Graphic by @BuiltbyCRF) #GoBlue. https://t.co/fl2KcQYDvp
@ckieser13@LineMountain Right, and you're assuming the outcomes. Michigan played both Indiana and Ohio State with results contrary to your assumptions. I agree with your overall point about schedule inequality but your argument is deeply flawed
@TomFornelli Cmon Tom, you dont even believe what youre writing. Michigan struggled against a good Fresno State team and we should panic. Oregon struggled with an FCS Idaho and youre only a little concerned. Iowa dominated an at best mediocre FCS school and you praise them. Make it make sense
@nick_fisher13@UMFanJosh I'm not saying there shouldn't be punishment but it should fit the crime. And the fact is the ncaa acknowledges adv scouting yields no significant advantage. But Harbaugh was the most vocal advocate for players getting paid & the ncaa doesnt like it when you challenge their money
@nick_fisher13@UMFanJosh And maybe none did but again that's not my point. The NCAA openly admitted that with the widespread availability of game film now it presents no significant advantage when they voted on it recently. It was only kept as a rule bc headsets was deemed to costly for small schools.
@nick_fisher13@UMFanJosh But I think that's the point most of us UM fans are arguing. Yes they broke the rules, fully acknowledge that. But how egregious is it really? Plus the rule was never even implemented for competitive reasons, it was purely cost savings for smaller programs so why the outrage?
