   No, you basically shitcan the program and this stops.   
      
   But the fact is that it starts with that you give absolutely no choice but   
   that Harbaugh is gone, today.  Or you throw them out of the Big Ten Conference.

   In this particular case, there are no innocent athletes.  And at some point,   
   you have to start making these players responsible for the choices they DO   
   make.   
      
   > think of off the top of my head is, if you allow players to transfer from a   
   school with a bowl ban and both (a) not have it count as their one free   
   transfer, and (b) let each school give one player from that team a scholarship   
   without it counting    
   against their limit of 85 (otherwise it becomes a case of pretty much every   
   school saying, "Sorry, but we can't take any of these players"), then a bowl   
   ban might work - it worked wonders at USC.    
      
   Good.  Make the kids responsible for the choices they make.  If they want to   
   go to a program that's endangered, especially one known endangered, they've   
   made what amounts to a business decision today.   
      
   > Even if they do fire Harbaugh, the question probably ends up becoming, which   
   NFL team's sideline will be be on in 2024? I hear the Raiders are in the   
   market...    
      
   Pretty much, as well as the Broncos, I'd wager the Packers might need a new HC   
   or at least OC.

   in 1988? My rulebooks only go back to 2007, but it wasn't marked as a rule   
   change so I assume it was a rule in 2005 and 2006 as well (except for football   
   and basketball, NCAA    
   rules are only usually updated every two years).   
      
   Yes they did, at least in D3.
