00:02 - That's not even the big story.

00:04 The big story right now as we bring in Bill

00:06 is what to make of this whole Michigan Wolverine situation

00:09 with the sign stealing scandal,

00:11 the egregiousness as to what appears to be one person

00:16 who's working for the university,

00:18 potentially even going on the sidelines

00:20 in a uniform of another team.

00:22 We don't even know if that's real or not.

00:23 But on top of it, as we bring in Bill,

00:26 we don't even know if the Big Ten's even gonna rule here.

00:28 It seems like they were like asking Michigan

00:31 to report their own findings first.

00:33 This is sort of an incredible story

00:35 that has so many ranges of outcomes here

00:38 because we just haven't seen this happen

00:39 in college football.

00:40 - Yeah, and the way the Big Ten

00:43 is handling this down the stretch,

00:44 I mean, be ready for anything this afternoon.

00:47 Jim Harbaugh could be suspended.

00:49 Michigan could be slapped on the wrist.

00:51 There's anything and everything in between.

00:53 And I think part of the frustration

00:55 that's gonna amount on both sides,

00:57 whether you want Michigan punished or not,

01:00 is that they seem to have rushed through this investigation.

01:04 They have public pressure certainly influenced,

01:06 social media influenced it.

01:09 And it's gonna lead to a conclusion

01:12 that I think is a little shoddy.

01:14 There's no other way to put it.

01:16 I mean, if they suspend Jim Harbaugh

01:18 when he's on a plane on the way to Penn State,

01:21 how that looks for the Big Ten is disastrous.

01:24 And regardless of what happens on the field,

01:26 I think Michigan at some point should pay something,

01:29 especially if that was Conor Stallions

01:32 on the Central Michigan sideline.

01:33 Don't get me wrong.

01:34 But it needs to be done in a professional way

01:38 that there's no room for error.

01:40 Imagine the lawsuits Michigan can file

01:42 if the Big Ten is wrong.

01:44 - Yeah, and the benefit would really be,

01:49 as Bill said, to take your time on this thing.

01:52 I mean, if Michigan did something wrong, Bill,

01:54 let it hang over them the rest of the college football season

01:57 and in the playoff and then rule after the season.

01:59 But I can't believe that all of a sudden

02:00 they have a decision on this,

02:02 unless maybe the decision is

02:04 is that they did find some egregiousness.

02:06 And then if that is the case,

02:07 boy, we're gonna probably have some sort of suspension.

02:10 I don't think vacation of any wins or anything like that.

02:14 But we could, as you said, see Harbaugh

02:16 maybe even out at Michigan, who knows?

02:18 I don't know, as you said, could be slap on the wrist.

02:20 We don't know.
