3 harsh lessons learned from Michigan's NCAA punishment

Michigan's two-year sign-stealing case with the NCAA has come to a halt. As most Michigan crazies would agree, they got away pretty easily, but their bitter enemies would say the Wolverines are guilty no matter what the outcome was. I've taken some time to ponder what all this means and have come up with the following, which will ruffle some feathers.

WARNING: If you dislike Michigan, then this article is not meant for you, otherwise enjoy.

1. The Michigan brand is basically bulletproof

Record fines won't do anything severe that will hurt the Michigan football brand. The school's endowment is already in the billions. The three-game suspension for Sherrone Moore is only going to make a difference in the trip to Nebraska this year because the other two matchups are against MAC schools. Therefore, the punishment is light, and the hammer that was promised for two years is and was complete and utter garbage.

The death penalty days are long gone and any vacated wins still proudly belong to Thee Ohio State Buckeyes.

2. Rival dwellers are playing the victim card

Hypocrisy is at its peak on social media after the findings that were released on Friday. The usual accounts and some that have popped up from the graveyard, who always have something to spew are so offended that they are resorting to playing the victim. They're acting as if Michigan's national championship hurt them so bad that they are suffering from a mental illness or something.

Ohio State and Michigan State lowlifes, specifically, are treating this as the worst scandal in NCAA history. They are ignoring their own shortcomings because they are so infatuated with the demise of Michigan football. The day will come when they are on trial AGAIN and they will be praying for remorse from a bloodthirsty group of rabid Wolverines who won't be as forgiving.

They brought this banter onto themselves and will have to live with the results forever. Being the most hated program in the NCAA and winningest is a blessing and a curse that comes with the territory. If you don't like Michigan, then BEAT THEM ON THE FIELD, WHERE IT COUNTS MOST.

3. Michigan should consider pursuing legal action against some

Defaming Michigan's name is all fun and games, but at what point does it go too far? BuckeyeScoop, on twitter, reported that Michigan offered up a postseason ban to the NCAA and people believed it like it was the gospel. Dan Dakich calls Michigan the most corrupt program in the history of the sport and despises Jim Harbaugh. He has become so triggered that he has lost all sense of human decency.

The university will appeal the sanctions because they want to rub it in the faces of those who cheer for their downfall. The wait for that may be another long journey, but worth it for Michigan's involvement. Running your mouth on social media is cowardly, but it makes money and has made stupid people important. It's time for Michigan to make some pay for their brainwashed, stubbornness.
