Is this like that old trick bigger kids used to play on us when we were little...???
Grabbing your arm and popping yourself with it...
Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself...
At least, that's what the University of Michigan did with their football team Tuesday.
University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman says the sanction show that "we have said all along, we take full responsibility for knowing and following NCAA rules, and we will address concerns, quickly and head on. We believe the sanctions we have imposed fit the nature of the violations."
Sure...
Here's what they found out about themselves... and how they punished themselves in bold... the release is from their own selves...
The U-M exceeded the limit on the number of coaches allowed. Michigan has reduced the number of quality-control staff members by 40 percent and prohibited them from attending practices, games and coaches meetings for the remainder of 2010.
The U-M violated the restrictions on practice and training time. Michigan self-imposed reductions in practice and training times on a 2:1 basis, for a total of 130 hours during the next two years.
Michigan will issue letters of reprimand to seven individuals who shared in the responsibility for these violations occurring over an extended period, and one dismissal has occurred as a result of an issue of integrity.
The school found no evidence of student-athlete abuse, nor any evidence that its employees disregarded student-athlete welfare.
While Michigan could be considered a repeat violator from 2003 in men’s basketball, the institution does not believe it is warranted in this instance...
The school is recommending two years probation as punishment, but won't know it's sentencing until football season is well underway.
Here's some of what all this led to in 2009, a loss to Ohio State...
