Experts Slam NCAA for Failing to Properly Punish Michigan Cheating Scandal

According to the news article, the talk since last week, when the NCAA announced penalties against the Michigan Wolverines, has been whether the NCAA went far enough in their punishment. Most experts, including ESPN's Paul Finebaum and Stephen A. Smith, believe they did not.

Finebaum, in particular, has been highly critical of former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, accusing him of "highway robbery" and stealing a national championship. Finebaum claims that Harbaugh used illegal tactics, lied, and misled, before quickly leaving Michigan to join the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers, avoiding any real punishment. Finebaum believes the NFL should step in and penalize Harbaugh for his actions.

While Finebaum later walked back his statement about Harbaugh stealing a national championship, he still believes the situation "stinks" and that Michigan got away with cheating against "a bunch of no-name schools." Both Finebaum and Stephen A. Smith agree that Harbaugh deserves some form of punishment, but realize that is unlikely to happen now that he is in the NFL.
