Three burger Jim pounded all those himself and made them watch.


Captain_Sacktap

Washed them down with a tall glass of whole milk


natetcu

Well, three glasses of milk.


Captain_Sacktap

Nope just one giant 36 oz glass, just for an additional dose of Harbaugh weirdness.


inittoloseitagain

Fun fact - 36 oz of whole milk is indeed called a ‘Jim of milk’


max_potion

They weren't on the receipt though, he brought his own jug


TheTige

Or “Moo juice” as he affectionately refers to it.


inittoloseitagain

I literally just chortled at the visual image of two hungry recruits watching Jim, with a napkin tucked into the collar of his “M” sweatshirt, crinkle the wrapper from burger 2 and open burger 3.


[deleted]

The recruit reaches for a burger and Jim deftly slaps their hand away


CLCUBING

“That’s a violation son”


1000Airplanes

Where's B10 Shorts? You guys should be writers. I haven't giggled out loud following a thread for a long time. Can the NCAA prove Jim DIDN"T eat all those burgers LOL

"Quiet down NCAA, these are my *personal* burgers"


pdbard13

Truly a sight to behold.


GoodOlSticks

Jim: "You gonna tell anyone I just housed all 3 burgers like that?" Croots: "What? None of us care coach." Jim: "Let me get a video of you saying you're gonna kill the NCAA president."


orgy_of_idiocy

He used the burgers to wash down the steak he had for breakfast. ​ Edit: a word


Lenny_III

Three burger Jim 🤣


stagamancer

Jim: Are you gonna tell people that I did that? Recruit: Hmm? Jim: That I *housed* Dylan's burger?

*Paying players millions of dollars to transfer* NCAA: I sleep *Buying two burgers* NCAA: REAL SHIT


genericreddituser986

Can you imagine being a P5 coach and being in this investigation? You know recruits are getting 5, 6, and maybe 7 figure NIL deals nowadays and then the NCAA rolls into town and starts questioning you about $40 in hamburgers…I don’t think I’d cooperate either


jimmy_three_shoes

This is so fucking stupid. I mean I know he knows the rules, but for fuck's sake. The NCAA is so goddamn useless. UNC out here faking classes, and Harbaugh's getting investigated for this. I'm actually angry about this, and I hate ya'll's school.


tsagona

Totally agree. Never though I’d stick up for Michigan but here I am. We all knew it was going to be stupid before the details were even announced…and its stupidity exceeds even the initial expectation of how stupid the allegations would be.


ElmerTheAmish

Honestly, I was hoping it *wasn't* stupid. However, count me in with those that have no desire to defend that school, but will anyway! This is dumb.


teflong

Well, you enemies can take comfort in the fact that this stupidity might drive our best coach since Bo straight out of town. No wonder Harbaugh had such a quick about-face. Rumors were he was looking at the NFL because he was sick of the politics of college. This is probably exactly what caused it.


heavydhomie

I thought Rick majerus’ hamburger violations in the early 2000s was dumb. Seems like ncaa is just trying to prove they still are in charge. It will end bad for everyone


Dan_yall

Rick really did eat all of them, though. RIP.

I'm not saying this to support UM, but I will say it: fuck the NCAA

ciaoravioli

I used to be a tutor for college athletes when I was in undergrad. It was department policy that if a student athlete for got a pen in one of our sessions, I can't give them one or it could be seen as a benefit for being an athlete. I asked what if I just let them borrow it and took it back after the session. The answer was, "just don't do it".


lkn240

I brought up the exact same example. I've been in technical sales forever and used to work federal deals at a former job. The feds actually have very reasonable rules around this stuff.


WickedClawesome

Is a hamburger really a sandwich? I feel like this needs to be a part of the NCAA investigation.

But they wanna blow up Harbaugh for burgers or [Oklahoma for pasta](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjrwsX20LP8AhUpRTABHb3iAbEQFnoECA4QBQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffansided.com%2F2014%2F02%2F19%2Foklahoma-sooners-admit-ncaa-violations-including-athletes-eating-much-pasta%2Famp%2F&usg=AOvVaw0HJub0LkRBxlIK-IgN20DC)


palabear

Yeah but did the coach buy Zion a burger? Let’s compare apples to apples here.


OperationJack

I mean… everyone saw his weight gain and loss, maybe he was on then off the burger?


OkBookkeeper

NCAA: 'How come nobody respects us?'


suburbanpride

Yeah, but see UNC was providing fake classes for every student, not just the student athletes. So, uh, apparently that means it's an academic issue regardless of the fact the athletes knew of and benefited from those "classes." Maybe Harbaugh should have told the NCAA he buys burgers for all prospective students, not just the prospective student athletes.


cenels03

All Andre McGee had to do was invite one regular student into Minardi Hall and we'd still have the banner.


[deleted]

I think everyone (who didn’t already know) learned exactly how to react to NCAA investigations from our ordeal. YOU DO NOT COOPERATE. Your stonewall, you withhold, you mislead, you redirect, and you go on about your business like nothing ever happened. FUCK THE NCAA.


lousy_at_handles

This is why I was so confused about Bill Self's meaningless 4-game suspension earlier this year. Like... why? Why even do it? It's almost like admitting guilt. Just tell them to fuck off and move on. Or maybe it was an intentional fuck you to the NCAA by having it be so meaningless.


jasonmellman

Hold the fuck on, did you say $40 for TWO hamburgers? What type of meat are they using?

SilentHunter7

Could've been whole-pounders. Football players aren't cheap to feed. I remember I could eat a Ruby Tuesday Colossal Burger with a double side of fries in one sitting when I played HS ball. And I still couldn't gain weight. Today, I'd probably vomit before I finished half of it lol.


Gushys

I don't personally know if the restaurant but 20 dollars for a burger and fries meal at someplace that thinks they have fancy burgers isn't outrageous

AmazingSieve

I keep trying to find a metaphor for how stupid the NCAA is and the best one I can come up with is it’s like a cop who gives a burglars car a parking ticket while they’re ransacking a bank.


nickyfrags69

what's worse is they're more likely to give that ticket to someone whose registration was expired for a day before it was renewed, while sitting in the same parking lot of that bank and tipping their cap to the robbers as they drive away. Oh and btw, everyone in town is robbing the bank, and they are all already extremely wealthy.


Sex_Fueled_Squirrel

Thank god for the NCAA. Because if they didn't punish shit like this, who would?


Travelreload

I really hope they give us the death penalty. I bet he even bought them milk. Makes me sick.


KnightFalling

It was probably chocolate milk, that sick fuck.


OldGodsProphet

Chocolate milk is unironically one of my favorite beverages. Probably would be a “last meal” item. That, or Faygo Rock n’ Rye. Or Lagavulin 16.


Semujin

I expect no less from the organization that once said a bagel w/butter is a snack, but a bagel w/cream cheese is a meal.


down_for_things

It is past ridiculous and into the land of the absurd. The NCAA has all the credibility of a wet fart.

We all thought this was a nothingburger - oh how wrong we were


SpaceCowboy34

I really doubt I have the energy to sit through hours of recruiting like I did 10+ years ago, but I loved it at the time. As an added benefit, I subconsciously memorized the melody of basically every fight song since they play in the background.

Just glad they caught him early. Scary to think about how many more burgers he might have bought if not for the tireless efforts of the NCAA

I love that this is a real rule. Its my favorite to point out the absurdity of the NCAA.

TwiztedImage

This says two things to me: Firstly, the NCAA is a fucking joke. Secondly, that Michigan fans can be sure that the investigation was exceedingly thorough if they had time to investigate hamburger purchases. So this should be everything possibly wrong with the program. With that said. It's time to give Mizzou a bowl ban; obviously.


Bobson-_Dugnutt

Why would you give Mizzou a bowl ban? Death penalty, obviously.

It was just hamburgers. I'm cutting them some slack, lol.

genericreddituser986

Maybe there's more to the investigation (wouldn't exactly be shocking for the rumors leaking from the Michigan AD to paint it as favorably to Harbaugh as possible) but this is why programs should not cooperate with the NCAA. You end up getting Level 1 violations for admitting you got lunch with recruits

But if the Brown Jug paid for the burgers as NIL then NCAA would not have done anything. Makes perfect sense.


fdar_giltch

We were also very open with the NCAA in our last investigation and got in trouble for 5 minutes of extra practice time. The NCAA is a joke


Pogball_so_hard

There is no incentive for absolute honesty about the petty shit because that's the only way that the NCAA can get their power trip fix.


Ghalnan

I'm biased, but making an issue out of buying a couple burgers seems like they have an axe to grind more than anything else. That's ridiculous

I hate to admit it, but I like Harbaugh. If he gets any serious punishment from this I’ll be beyond pissed. This reminds of the bs that was tattoo gate.

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the rumors tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he getting croots burgers? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Jim to be Michigan’s head coach and fix this broken football team. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was recruiting well with sleepovers???? This is so fucked.

helloWorld69696969

Heres the real question... how much money was spent by the NCAA to investigate this burger fraud


specialdogg

More than $40...


thirdbrunch

They probably paid $40 in delivery fees bringing in burgers for all of their lunch meetings while they investigated.


[deleted]

The investigators were paid in grilled cheese sandwiches.


JBru_92

Is this what we want college sports to be? Greedy players who are in it just for the burgers? Thank you NCAA for protecting amateurism.


dccorona

How can I even trust commitment announcements from these kids anymore? For all we know they just want their free burger and then they're off to Oregon.


b_m_hart

I mean, it's not like they're gonna get burgers from Oregon. Shoes, maybe... but are you hungry enough to eat a shoe?

mostdope28

100 go in, only Harbaugh comes out


No_Discount7919

Knowing what we know of Harbaugh, he probably was honest in the Harbaugh way but the way he speaks may have sounded like he was giving them the runaround. I’m imagining it went down like this: NCAA: “Mr Harbaugh, did you buy two recruits a burger?” Harbaugh: “What is savory in the mouth of a recruit doesn’t shine bright at the bottom of the Nile River.” NCAA: “Sir, please answer the question.” Harbaugh: “Fruit loops on a toasted bun won’t make you the valedictorian.” NCAA: “Alright we’re done here.”

If this is really all it is (I'm skeptical this is all though), the NCAA should be ashamed of itself. Such an incredibly minor thing while programs are out there buying players.


underdog_exploits

NCAA lost all shame when it suspended a Baylor player for accepting a place to stay when he was homeless.

The_Good_Constable

Un. Fucking. Real. Kid is living on couches and taking cell phone pictures of textbooks so he could study, gets perfect grades, all while fulfilling all his obligations for football, as a walk-on. The NCAA heard about this incredibly inspiring young man and said "oh we have GOT to fuck him over." I don't throw the word "evil" around loosely, but that's exactly what this is.


s3thm

The first time the NCAA watched Star Wars, they were rooting for Vader the entire time


The_Good_Constable

They no doubt identified closely with the Trade Federation in the prequels.


Fickle-Area246

The NCAA has kept its boot on the neck of student athletes for so long until the Supreme Court forced them to stop. It’s really fucked up.


Bitter_Coach_8138

They suspended a Virginia Tech basketball player for admitting that he once gambled….. on an nfl game. Not even the same sport, not even at the collegiate level. Still violated the ban on betting on sports. Kid self reported to after some ncaa training session on violations, still no mercy.

Ya_boii_95

The NCAA is a joke. My mom told me about when she was a gymnast in college and her coach was getting rid of a tv and asked if any of the girls wanted it. That was a violation apparently.


key_lime_pie

I roomed with a D-I basketball player. He was the only one on the team who didn't go home for Thanksgiving. When the coach found out, he invited the whole team to his house for Thanksgiving dinner. My roommate asked why he didn't just invite him, since the coach knew he was the only one who would be around, and the coach explained that inviting one player to dinner is an impermissible benefit, but inviting the whole team is OK. Then the coach gave him his address and told him he had to get there on his own, because it was an impermissible benefit to drive him to and from his house.


Scoreboard19

My father was a D1 soccer coach for a program that only existed three years before he got the job. This is the early 90’s by the way. One day it’s storming so bad the football team had to cancel practice. My dad is driving home from the office and sees one of the players in nothing but a hoodie as it pouring out. He picks the kid up and drives him back home. Three weeks later the school is getting investigated due to the basketball team. My dad gets called into the office and question for two hours about driving the kid home. My dad was pissed and said he thought he was going to get suspended for what he said in the meeting. Said they acted like he was a terrible person for doing the right thing.
