As everyone knows at this point, the University of Michigan has announced self-imposed sanctions relating to alleged NCAA Rules violations occurring over the last two years. SCM has examined these allegations posed by the NCAA Investigation, sifted through Michigan's responses at length, and come to the conclusion that while the infractions were indeed minor, they demanded an appropriate response. Which Michigan has issued, officially. However, after carefully combing through Michigan's response we at Maize n Brew have uncovered a separate, OMG SECRET!1!!!!!11!!!!, list of self-imposed sanctions that will affect the Football Team for the next three years:
- Players' individual nap times reduced by half an hour during the off-season;
