Michigan Sign-Stealing
Sanctions
Once upon a time, a future Hall of Fame coach lost his job in disgrace for lying on an NCAA compliance form in claiming he knew of no unreported NCAA violations by his players. The condemnation was harsh, especially from fans of his archrival who had tired of losing to him every year.
“Spare us the hymnal, cooler-poopers,” wrote MGoBlog. “Jim Tressel is was a football coach, not a social worker. As he did this, he turned boys into men like every football coach does. This just makes him a football coach. He’s also a hypocrite and liar who lived up to the ‘Senator’ nickname in the end, his moral rectitude just a cover.”
My, how the tables have turned. These days, the phrase “hypocrite(s) and liar(s)” ought to be added to the lyrics of “Hail to the Victors.”
