NCAA proposing changing rules likely in response to Harbaugh
Looks like the NCAA is proposing a rules change to make suspensions more stringent and penalties for hiring coaches cited for show-cause in relation to level 1 and 2 violations. This is being proposed after the NCAA president was quoted as saying we won the national championship "fair and square". So it doesn’t appear that we will be stripped of the title. Though who knows what future ramifications are.
Among other items, the council also voted Wednesday to adopt stiffer penalties for individuals who violate NCAA rules. Moving forward, coaches who are suspended will be required to stay away from their teams on days between games in addition to missing games themselves. Schools who hire coaches with show-cause penalties from past violations could receive penalties, and the NCAA plans to create a public database of individuals with a history of Level 1 or Level 2 violations.

I can’t understand why the NCAA just doesn’t “start” with the NFL rules for sideline communications and make any adjustments they feel are appropriate.

Any rules about in season hiring of coaches from your next opponent?

Oh pish.

Level 1/2 violations aren't destroying CFB, it's the transfer portal, nil, and lawlessness of the sport.
January 10th, 2024 at 9:13 PM ^
Agree with you there.
January 10th, 2024 at 9:31 PM ^
it's the transfer portal, nil
Lots of Level 1/2 violations going on there.

NIL is fine, it's the level 1 violation of using it as an inducement that is not being enforced is a problem. Transfer portal is a bit of an issue but mainly the level 1 violation of tampering that is not being enforced is a problem.

I used to think that suspension meant full suspension. What did I know :)

Jim has been on the NCAA's hit list since he started at Michigan because they suspected he was going to make waves. And they quickly saw that they were correct when he started participating in southern camps. They changed the rules to make that illegal and moved Jim up the top of the list. He was rocking the boat.
Anyone who saw Jim at the Tuesday national press conference knows that he is now on their super urgent hit list. He is leading the movement to pay the athletes.
They are indicating now that they will not try to require forfeiture of games or the national championship. That is to show that they are completely fair. But I'm pretty sure that they think that will cover them when they go after Jim unreasonably hard.

This is really bad news for Jim McElwain.

Just another dying institution gnashing and wailing on its way towards irrelevance

The NCAA runs a championship for every sport except FBS. The stupidity, absurdity, and potential for corruption of this situation are bonkers. I am sure Santa Ono will fix it.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:51 PM ^
How in the hell have they not had records of violators already!?!? No wonder!
January 11th, 2024 at 12:11 AM ^
This looks like an end run to make an example out of Harbaugh and Michigan. And Michigan needs to take a hard line and demand complete transparency in whatever penalties they are assessed in the pending case.
You know the NCAA is going to demand no public response from the university or Harbaugh about their enforcement action. I want full transparency in whatever action is taken.

Do what the SEC does. Fuck off NCAA!
January 11th, 2024 at 6:07 AM ^
It’s time to go full legal eagle on these pricks. They’re gonna try and force Jim out through ticky tack BS, meanwhile the sec and several basketball programs present fake NIl money and things far more deviant. Meanwhile we have an idiot armed with a fleet of iPhones recording rain games against Umas and our rivals recording the recordings. Instead of sacking up they flew to Indy to cry like babies.

Someone is going to legally challenge the show-cause, and eventually win. Blacklisting and lack of due process will are the most likely results that courts will not agree with. Just my opinion.
January 11th, 2024 at 12:14 PM ^
Fuck the NCAA. It’s no longer an amateur game. They failed the ONE thing they were here for. Go away; all you’re doing is taking money from schools and harassing the biggest generator for absolutely no good reason.

So how about also cleaning up the dumb rules?
I mean how many current top level coaches have a level 1 or 2 violation? I bet more than people would realize.
