they created the easy out...all you have to do is claim someone in the crowd was overheard calling you a threatening mean name and poof...you get to transfer in the name of safety. Oh wait...that's only if your AD is a member of the NCAA council from Columbus.

Trials have been cancelled the last couple of months.  Oddly, preliminary hearings have continued.  They’re letting people out of MCJ by the truckload.  Lot of guys getting extremely light sentences.  
 

I have no clue how we’re going to do trials.  There’s no way jurors are going to report and no one is going to do anything about it given the circumstances. You get some case that needs 100 jurors just to get a panel and you’re gonna call the assembly room and they’ll say, “Sorry, no jurors today.”

And even if we get juries, do we question witnesses wearing masks?  How do they ID people wearing masks?  Do jurors have to sit six feet apart?  Because that will mean they have to sit in the audience.  it’s gonna be a shit show.

true...though again...see point 1...AD from Columbus=free pass on most things. Want to bet the basketball players trying to transfer to UM run into some obstacles? See point Shea Patterson. It's just amazing.  And you have the kid from Costal Carolina wants to be near his mom suffering a brain tumor and he's shot down...only the NCAA.

Can anyone name a rule that the ncaa came up with early instead of later that helped Michigan instead of hurting them? Robin Benzing and the pro foreign players, quality control staffers and Mitch McGary come to mind as NCAA screwjobs for Michigan.

I’m split on how I feel about the transfer rule. I get it to some degree. Immediate eligibility would make it basically a free agency and it would get ridiculous. Especially with NIL now. 
 

But I don’t think it’s really fair. A kid shouldn’t be punished for moving on to better opportunities.
