It started with the investigation closed/reopened story line from the "press conference", which (unless I missed something) is entirely inaccurate according to Steve's timeline updates over the last year, and now has morphed into "flew too close to the sun" from a number of media sources.
Even Pat Forde has bought into it the former, and the latter is a fairly common theme.
With regards to the reopening, to buy that means you think there was no NCAA activity from January through the end of April 2016. If anything, that was a more intense period of rumors surrounding further NCAA activity. Can we already disprove this portion of their narrative?
Now, the Icarus story is to me, the more dangerous one. The lesson they want you to take is that if you get out of your lane, no matter if it's legit or not, you'll get slapped down. In other words, UM is going to be hammered not because they did something wrong, but because they dared to be too successful too fast. That's a load of crap, and other than Dan Wolken, I'm not seeing anyone calling them on it. Am I asking for too much?
