How do you know Manuel didn't lobby for more balanced scheduling?

Meeting notes? First person testimony? A video, perhaps? Do you have any evidence to back up your claim.
The answer to the last question, of course, is that you don't. You're just venting your spleen because you hate Warde Manuel. We all get it.
But to repeat some earlier points I've made before, in the era of the B1G/SEC enlarging by bringing in only high value programs and the television networks paying something in the vicinity of $2.4B, you can expect Michigan's schedule to be consistently more difficult than in years past. Add in how NIL can, in part, propel a school like Indiana to the national championship, and it's pretty obvious college football is operating in a radically different environment.
As far as Penn State is concerned, their 2028 conference schedule includes Indiana, Oregon, Ohio State and USC. I won't be shocked if there's some PSU message board members saying that conference schedule is unbalanced and School X is getting off easy.
