This, if it's only not coaching those three games, it's a big nothing burger punishment.
Still think it's bull **** that the conference dropped the suspension news less than 24 hours before kickoff.
If they're so confident they are in the right, they shouldn't have to fear legal action from Michigan.
The suspension should have been dropped earlier to allow all parties enough time to let the process play out.

Not sure how reliable this source is and I tend to believe it would never happen, but here it is.

Michigan Wolverines, SEC or ACC school? Sounds insane, right?

I have no doubt there's sabre rattling, but it would be very hard to see them getting out of the conference any time soon. Didn't they just sign a new GOR recently?Not sure how reliable this source is and I tend to believe it would never happen, but here it is.

I'd take them in the B12. Benjamins baby.
I did a quick search last night and honestly couldn't find a grant of rights for the Big 10. I know the SEC doesn't have one. Not sure about B1G...
Their current TV deal runs through 2030.
It’s complete BS, regents are publicly elected, this is all just a political posturing move. I know 2 regents, one very well and this isn’t even remotely on the table. Same thing with OSU in 2020, it just makes the fans happy and increases approval rating for the AD, nothing actually based in reality.Not sure how reliable this source is and I tend to believe it would never happen, but here it is.

They have their media deal that they agreed on last summer. All of the schools signed their broadcast rights away. It would definitely contain protective stipulations for their broadcast partners, in case a school tried to leave. It may not use the specific "Grant of Rights" terminology, but I guarantee there is plenty of language to compel schools to pay a significant exit fee in the event of leaving.

Some extremely angry words from the Michigan AD. He is royally pissed at the B1G … and not without reason, I’d say.
Best one I've heard is Jerry Tarkanian when he said "9 out of 10 schools are cheating. The one that isn't is in last place."
The Big Ten ADs should be very concerned about the precedent Pettiti is setting. I'm sure he can now suspend almost any head coach whenever he wants, because every staff has rules violations if you look hard enough.

Meh. Let them rage. There's no denial in that diatribe. Just anger about being held accountable. I'm sure they expected that they would be able to push this off long enough to avoid meaningful punishment.
The fact is that the Big 10 conference is not bound by the same rules as a court of law, which takes some oomph out the due process argument.
Yup. All I hear is them being mad that they got caught and are being held accountable.
Either don't cheat, or don't get caught.
I LOL at the emphatically “No one” language while we have been listening to excuses all week from their fans.
I’m living here for this game because Mgoblog is going full nuclear meltdown over those two calls already.
