Had the rules been followed the clock would have stopped with one second left when the out of bounds WMU player touched it.

I seem to recall victories being vacated -- like the game had never been played -- over ineligible players in the past.

I swear if WMU had a backup punter who got one extra slice of pizza on the bus after the game they'd whack them for it.

So if it wasn't Michigan that was involved in this situation, I would ask. Would there be any possibility of the winning team doing the right thing and saying we didn't deserve the win we forfeit?
