Breaking News: Michigan Expected to Hear the NCAA Findings on Thursday

The initial reports are that the NCAA will report the findings on Michigan tomorrow.  The source also said that Michigan won the argument against the NCAA that Rich Rodriguez did not fail to promote an atmosphere of compliance.  Which would be a huge win in favor of Michigan. 

I expect to hear that the NCAA will accept the self imposed penalties that Michigan levied against itself.  The source close to the situation said it's "positive news for Michigan football.".

We will see the details on Thursday but this is the positive news that Rich Rodriguez needed this week.  Mostly after 3 losses in a row.

I wonder if U of M will take any legal action against the Freep for the loose allegations and poor research/reporting in their story against the football program.  I believe Michigan has invested over half a million dollars in this case and it would seem that the Freep could be responsible for some of that cost.  David Brandon should just send them a bill.

The latest update is that the NCAA added a 3rd year of probation.  3:00pm we will know the details.
