The former Ohio state coach, Urban Meyer, called the NCAA for the punishment he raised against Michigan for his signs robbery scheme.
Michigan received a fine that is expected to exceed $ 20 million, while Chief coach Sherrone Moore will have an additional game added to his suspension of two games already self -imposed, which will serve this season.
Meyer, 61, compared Michigan’s punishment with the sanctions that the state of Ohio received in 2011.

The NCAA gave Ohio State a bowl of one year after a scandal that involved eight players who received $ 14,000 in cash and tattoos in exchange for team shirts, rings and other memories. Ohio State also faced additional sanctions at the top of the bowl ban.
“In December 2011, I had to stand in front of a group of older people and tell them that they were not allowed to play in a bowl or a championship game in their last year of university football, for something they had nothing to do. One of the most difficult things I have done,” Meyer said in a posse for his podcast, “The triple option.”
“That same group was 12-0 and could not play for the National University Soccer Championship. “

Meyer agreed with NCAA’s decision not to punish Michigan’s players for something they did not do, but still criticized the NCAA.
“The recent NCAA ruling so as not to punish the players who were not involved is correct. However, this failure also shows that the NCAA as an application arm no longer exists,” said Meyer.
Former chief coach Jim Harbaugh, employee Connor Stalions and assistant coach Denard Robinson were also punished for his roles in the scandal.
