I know the NCAA is a giant bureaucratic mess, so this could end up being a big deal. But of all the cheating things a football program can do, I just can't get upset about making them work too hard.

2 points though...
1. The problem was identified and corrected before the FREEP report came out accusing the football team of wrongdoing. This "finding" is not a result of the investigation.
2. This is an internal issue only, and it is not something required by the NCAA.
However, I still think it might be damaging to the investigation. It puts no reason into anybody to have faith in the UM football program telling the truth. Had the reports been filed, it would have been a great tool in the defense of the program doing the right things.

You wouldnt think with all the cheating done in college basketball recruiting that a few phone calls would be a big deal either. But look at the state of Indiana basketball right now...FatHobbit wrote: I know the NCAA is a giant bureaucratic mess, so this could end up being a big deal.

I believe these sorts of things are secondary violations anyway. Pretty much get the same thing Lane Kiffin did after committing like 6 in his first 3 months on the job @ Tennessee

The NCAA hasn't touched USC and they damn near glow in the dark...
Why would anything happen to Michigan?

Go ahead and call me naive, but I think the NCAA is about the bring a sledgehammer down on USC's athletic program. They hear the same criticism we all do; that USC has become untouchable. That kind of negative publicity motivates bureaucracies into action like few things do.
As far as Michigan is concerned, I think this will end up being part of Shred Rod's epitaph when he's fired next year.

This will be interesting to keep an eye on. Just how serious is failing to keep accurate logs?

Like I said above, this is not an NCAA violation. The logs are simply an internal process meant to help keep the teams in compliance.BCSbunk wrote: This will be interesting to keep an eye on. Just how serious is failing to keep accurate logs?

well if they're not in compliance there's gotta be an NCAA violation in there somewhere....
