Does the Michigan Daily need to be added to the banned list?

And, I will volunteer to be banned from this discussion. 

This article is out of context and dumb, but cannibalizing and suggest banning our own, the Michigan Daily, is even dumber.  Thus, this discussion is dumb. 

We found the guy who wrote the article lol

I have read about 15 posts on RCMB that were almost identical to this story - although I will credit him with using better grammar than the Sparties.

I get what this kid was doing here but he is trying too hard. 

Banning newspapers is stupid but this OP did make me think about the fact that the Michigan Daily almost never gets posted on this site - which is interesting.  Anyone have any theories on why?  Quality of posts not good or maybe not timely?

Not a very in depth view on the topic. He broke the rules... Yeah so what. Many universities have and in most instances the NCAA response is inconsistent. That's the bigger story, the NCAA is broken and rule enforcement is a joke.

Our AD acknowledged the minor penalties that we never denied in the first place. The self imposed punishment wasn’t an admission of guilt to lying but a way to get these imbeciles off our backs

We contacted recruits at a time when they were in lockdown or shortly thereafter, that much is true. The rest is allegations that Harbaugh denies. This article more or less says that the team celebrates wrongdoing. It’s a shit hit piece.

Meh...it's very clearly an opinion piece. Yes, there are some facts. But also, there are a lot of suppositions about what Michigan, the players, etc. are trying to do.

The most egregious part, in my opinion, was letting the NCAA off the hook for talking about the case and then deriding Harbaugh apologists. If we're talking about facts...the NCAA shouldn't be talking to the media about the case, and Harbaugh is in fact prevented from talking about it.

He lost me before that, but that was the real tipping point that made me dismiss the article's points entirely.

He is actually quite factual in the article. 

LOL!   Name all of the "facts" in this paragraph, for instance:

It doesn’t really matter, because all these gimmicks are meant to do is paint Harbaugh as a saint, and the NCAA as the devil. They ignore the essential fact that Harbaugh allegedly violated NCAA recruiting regulations — including contacting recruits during a COVID-19 dead period. They also ignore that Harbaugh allegedly lied to investigators about those violations. Harbaugh tried to gain an edge on other programs, and he got caught.

It's a "fact" that these are "gimmicks" and that the author knows precisely what they are intended to do? Or is the fact here that the author just made that shit up?

How is it an "essential fact" that there are vague rumors of allegations against Harbaugh?  Who is making the allegations that the author is treating as "fact?"  A good journalist would never try to use this passive voice bullshit to smear a public figure.

This is shit journalism, only tolerable to read because the author is such an obvious tool that he includes such a pearl-clutching line as "[p]layers are protesting their own school, for god’s sake."  That's a line that should never be written by an Daily writer ever.  The rest of the train wreck that is this opinion piece never quite reaches that journalistic low again, but hardly for lack of trying.
