COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS IN MORAL FREE-FALL. In a SHOCKING scandal that has rocked the sports world to its core, the University of Michigan has been EXPOSED as a program in UTTER CHAOS after head coach Sherrone Moore was FIRED and ARRESTED following an alleged ILLICIT relationship with a staffer—a bombshell revelation that questions EVERYTHING about the administration’s oversight.
But the ROT goes deeper. As Michigan scrambles to save face, its so-called “legacy” candidates, Kalen DeBoer and Kenny Dillingham, have PUBLICLY SNUBBED the tainted program. Their emphatic rejections signal a COLLEGE SPORTS ELITE now treating Michigan’s vaunted helmet like a BIOHAZARD symbol. Is this the END of a national powerhouse?

Now, in a desperate move that reeks of cronyism, the program is attempting to INSTALL failed Charlotte head coach Biff Poggi as its permanent savior—a decision championed by former players while insiders whisper about a MASSIVE COVER-UP. Is this a merit-based promotion, or a PANICKED attempt to bury the truth?
Players, reeling from a profound sense of BETRAYAL according to Poggi himself, are being used as pawns in a cynical PR campaign to project “unity.” The so-called “awesome vibe” touted by a tight end is a FACADE, a thin veneer over a program drowning in scandal and hypocrisy.

The entire sordid affair exposes the UGLY UNDERBELLY of big-money college sports, where coaching ethics are sacrificed at the altar of winning, and young athletes are left to clean up the mess. The betrayal felt by these players is a DAMNING INDICTMENT of a system PROFOUNDLY broken.
