The Michigan football sign-stealing scandal is now threatening to cloud or potentially even ruin the Wolverines' best season of the Jim Harbaugh era. Tony, Rainer, and Andrew hop on for an emergency podcast on the topic to discuss how we got here, everything you need to know about the scandal up to this point, and the impact it could have on the remainder of the season. 

Plus:

-Is it possible Harbaugh didn't know about the scheme, and does it even matter at this point?

-What are some historic comparisons?

-Could the Wolverines theoretically be banned from the postseason?

You can find that and a lot more on this edition of Hail Yes!

Did Dusty May nail his first offseason with Michigan? Plus, recapping Tony's interview with U-M AD Warde Manuel

Transfers, transfers and more transfers. That's the state of college sports these days and with Tuesday serving as the official deadline for entering your name in the transfer portal, there was a rash of players testing the waters.

Tony and Rainer open the show by discussing how we got to this point and the sustainability (or lack thereof) long term. Then the guys break down how Michigan has navigated the madness so far and debate whether their model of building through development is even sustainable anymore.

Into the (transfer) portal: What has happened to college sports and how does it affect Michigan?

With the Michigan football and basketball seasons wrapped up, you'd expect things to be slowing down, but if anything. this week seems to be the opposite. The guys start the show by getting into the talk of the state, the NFL draft, and what to expect from some of the big-name former Wolverines who have entered their names, including star quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Then after the first break, Tony and Rainer discuss the program's spring game last weekend and the questions raised from the exhibition, particularly at quarterback. 

And last but not least, the guys discuss Dusty May's hot streak in the portal, landing five players since Saturday from all over the country.
