Do the allegations against Michigan concern you?
Yes
No
My Answer: Of course. Based on the little that I've heard, the findings probably won't result in anything major, but even the minor things (reduction in scholarships?) hinders the program from returning to where it should be. In addition, even if there are no penalties, it is clear we have a coach and staff that care less about following the rules than I am comfortable. How can you not be concerned that something else will happen with this guy in charge? If your answer is because the University and the Athletic Department will be watching so closely that it would be impossible for him to do anything illegal (to the NCAA), then you are answering exactly like I am. You are concerned about RR's ability to run a program within the rules without constant oversight. I understand that there are people in the AD that are supposed to be doing that and probably messed up, too, but it shouldn't be a department, er university-wide project to keep the football team compliant. Compliance needs to start at the bottom with a little oversight to make sure up the ranks. RR has turned that system over.
The results on the WTKA website are:
Yes 36%
No 64%
I haven't listened much since this came out, so I have no idea who is saying what on there, but there are way too many homers on the air there, and too many listeners who are influenced by the homer announcers.

My answer is that I am concerned. I don't understand how so many people could screw this up. Everyone should know if stretching counts.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should know what non-coaches can do during voluntary training.
Everyone should know that the most important thing if a rule does get broken that the first thing to do is self report and then fix the problem, don't run to the newspaper and tell them about issues, don't try to cover up your mistakes.
Although this all amounts to a minor issue IMO, it is a sign that not everyone is on the same page, not everyone knows the rules.
