… that a fine of .000357% of Ohio State’s and Michigan’s athletic budgets will get their attention and stop post-game altercations? Who’s going to stop them, the ADs? The school presidents?
If the NCAA or individual conferences were serious about stopping ugly post-game incidents such as happened last Saturday, don’t fine the schools at all. Rather, establish a rule that if similar incidents occur again, that the coaches of both schools would be suspended for a game without pay. That would stop altercations such as happened in Columbus and at 7 other games last Saturday from ever happening again.
Then don’t spend any time at all studying videotape to see who started the fight and who was involved. We all know what a gang fight looks like. If one occurs at a football game, suspend both coaches without pay. That’ll stop them… in a hurry!
