NCAA president: "Michigan won national championship fair and square"

This was pretty obvious to all but the most extreme haters.

Baker’s comment today doesn’t really change anything. It’s not like he was going to come out and say, “Well who knows maybe we will end up vacating that title down the road.” Of course he’s going to affirm confidence in the current outcome, he knows that if investigations eventually reveal something serious that he can always reverse course under the auspice of new information.

And honestly, U-M did have the best team in the country this season. As a Spartan it’s painful to say, but it’s true. People wondered if they would slip after the cheating scandal broke, and they didn’t. Now you could argue that cheating for three years helped them recruit elite players. You could argue that future opponents didn’t have enough time to change their playcalling. But there really is no compelling evidence that they were not the best team in the country, though I would have loved to see them play Georgia.

That being said, moving forward Michigan will ALWAYS be thought of as cheaters. While they can try to convince themselves that “everyone cheats”, deep down inside, even Matt knows that they sold their souls for a trophy. We are talking about a program that was caught red handed with a CMU baseball cap and Ray Ban spyglasses. They are the Ann Arbor Astros.
Cheaters. That is the legacy they deserve.

There will be no asterisks on the Michigan Wolverines as they won The National Championship fair & square 15-0 2023 National Champions. The NCAA doesn't sponsor CFP or The National Championship Game Michigan isn't going to be stripped of the title which never been a fan of the NCAA doing it just like I don't like vacating when the games are on video of the wins.
