I don't quite understand why you are so concerned with other people's expectations. Your concern that message board posters will embarrass you and MSU is a little over the edge. Maybe you should try Buddha instead of Confucius.*** (That's a religious philosophy joke. Don't get your panties too wadded up.)

If the matrix isn't going to be followed then the NCAA should not have put it out there. Someone is going to get embarrassed in this situation: OM or the NCAA. OM has pissed in the NCAA's cheerios and is now gaslighting them saying they haven't. Additionally OM has boosters going to newfound lengths to obstruct "justice" which will have ramifications if allowed to work. And you think the NCAA should go light? If I were on the COI I would throw the book at them not because they are OM but because of the threat their actions pose to amateur student athletics.
