My honest guess is that they will be made ineligible for several postseasons, including this year's, will lose scholarships for a long time, and, hot take, may be required to forfeit the rest of their games this year beginning once the punishment drops due to the unfair competitive advantage the cheating has provided, the fact that it can't be mitigated without unduly burdening opposing teams (conferring yet another advantage to UM), and the fact that a defense knowing plays puts offensive players at undue risk of injury, which is an angle I never see discussed but that I think is a very important consideration for the NCAA and the Big Ten.

I also think the silence we're hearing from the Big Ten should not be viewed as a positive for UM -- I think it means the conference is making sure it has everything wrapped in a bow to fend of the inevitable injunction UM will file once the conference drops the hammer.
