Mud slinging is a dangerous game

I’ve heard from people I trust over the years that UM has some serious dirt on OSU and MSU. Balas says there’s a 2 inch thick binder they have on other programs. Once the leaks come out that OSU was behind all of this, it’s open season to release the dirt we have. Should be interesting.

It makes no sense for the Big Ten to not try and shut all this down, quickly.  They've made things worse by apparently, trying to play tough guy with Michigan and backing up the conference mob coming for Harbaugh's head.  They're practically begging Michigan to defend itself by retaliating against the holier-than-thou teams throwing the mud our way, and filing lawsuit(s).  This can only make the whole conference look bad and detract tremendously from the upcoming CFP when it's possible two B10 teams might get in in the end.  This milk toast new B10 commissioner just failed his first big test.

It honestly feels like OSU thought they could just mudsling and either win in the court of public opinion or they thought Michigan wouldnt mudsling back

I am thoroughly enjoying the tweet storm right now

Also, how about this one... would be a real shame if former staffers have some documented text evidence that would show up in discovery should we get to that point. This industry talks and talks, ain't no telling what they could find.

I would love to know more about how referees are selected for UofM / OSU games.   I would also love a run down of the Big Ten response to every filing we have ever made regarding refereeing.

I’m very pleased that Michigan has kept their receipts for a rainy day. And I’m more pleased that they’re willing to share them with the world instead of holding them in a box under their bed.

I’m certain they’ve been crooked as hell and I don’t doubt UM has tons of stuff to share. Ya know, out of concern for “fairness” and “player safety”

I would love for that to be true, but it seems like wishful think.   If this were true then why weren't they out in the media with that information weeks ago.   The narrative is so against us at this point, I don't see it preventing the B1G from acting.
