Harbaugh makes 9 million per year.

Mich doesn't give a f**k about a 10k fine.

Some of the holding of our defensive players this year deserves a gofundme fine campaign. Happened again against Duke. It's almost unbelievable.

Apparently people on here don't follow college football. You blatantly criticize refs after game, you're guaranteed a fine. Doesn't matter whether you agree with it or not. It's just a fact. It will happen every time. Pay attention people.

I dont think the response from many is due to surprise that fines like this exist.

Power structures are interesting. They are typically set up in a fashion that allow those with the most power (game officials, coaches, world leaders etc) to avoid criticism, punish criticizers, and minimize their level of responsibility. All while imposing more responsibility, criticism and "rules" onto those with less power.

Fug the NCAA

If this was Miami we would be looking at a $50,000 fine or forfeit games.

If it were Miami, they'd take away our uniforms, fine us, and restrict our use of footballs to twenty minutes a week.

That seems like something the Tobacco Road brigade would do in the ACC.

Perhaps Harbaugh can clench his ****** real tight, and all of the sand will become diamonds, and he can pay the fine with the profits.

My point is that this is nothing new.

Outright criticism or blatant criticism of refs has been fined in college football for as long as I can remember. Which is why you rarely see it, and also why Harbaugh's criticism is so notable, because it rarely happens.

Harbaugh should sue over his free speech rights.
