It is wild to me that “off campus, in-person scouting of future opponents” is against the rules. I guess the All-22 gives you everything you could want.
I have no doubt that Michigan is guilty.
The rule is apparently from the '90s and was intended "as a cost-cutting measure to bring more equity to the sport." 😂I agree - if the violation is for scouting a game day. The game is on TV and the teams exchange tapes. That seems like a nearly impossible violation to police - although Michigan is about to get caught apparently. Now if a scout goes to a practice that would be wrong.
Post of the year. Congrats.The rule is apparently from the '90s and was intended "as a cost-cutting measure to bring more equity to the sport." 😂
It's very important for the NCAA to implement and enforce strong rules so that there is order and fairness in college football. 😂😂
Harbaugh of course claims no knowledge of these apparent elaborate efforts by his staff to steal signs from opponents. 😂😂😂😇
The question is, should he have known? 🤡🤣🤑
We know both the assistant at the center of this and his family very well. He is a great, great young man who was a big brother figure to my son through middle and high school. He won't deserve any of the scorn and irrelevant, gossipy reporting coming his way.
I'm wondering about the wording of the rule. If someone who is not on staff films a game in person and sends the video, is that considered a violation? Because the assistant is on the sidelines for games when the majority of opponents' games are being played.
The NCAA is a joke.Post of the year. Congrats.
Oh man the NCAA is hilarious.

I wonder how long before the thread is nukes as it doesn’t directly involve NUFB ….
In my opinion, no, but his contract has not been redone in light of conference championships. There was some reporting that it was about to be finished (Michigan has a bye next week) but now has been temporarily suspended.Will Harbaugh get the axe 🪓 from this?? Maybe next season he'll be coaching the chi bears??

So, is this the tactic?
Non-Stalions staffer or volunteer films upcoming opponent’s signals in-person, and Capt. Stalions deciphers during the week?
The reporting has been fair, I think. It draws heavily from an article published about him and his superfan-to-military-to-sidelines journey. I’m sure social media trolls were less fair.
It sounds like the allegations involve recruiting guys from his network to record sidelines. We will see.Everyone keeps talking around the "elaborate scheme" but no one is offering specifics.
Schiano was referring to the officiating. Some of the calls were the worst ever for a B1G game.
I’m sorry to say that he looks to be in trouble.It sounds like the allegations involve recruiting guys from his network to record sidelines. We will see.
I really hate seeing him and his family go through this. I’ve seen fair reporting, but there’s been a lot of anonymous sniping from sources with obvious axes to grind.
IIRC, the NCAA rules committee in 2021 recommended dropping the rule because in-game scouting offered only a minor advantage and it was costing more to enforce than it was worth. By all means, enforce the rules, suspend/fire who was involved (and I still feel awful for this young man and his family, because they really are great people), but the cries to dismantle the program don't match the NCAA's attitude about the rule itself.This is a nothing sandwich. They will get penalized a few scholarships next year. After giving Penn State a pass on the death penalty the NCAA has the sanction authority of the UNITED NATIONS.
Yeah dude, the only thing that is illegal is the thing that is illegal and what people are alleging.Yeah… most of this seems like a bunch of coaches bitching. “Michigan has a guy on staff who’s really good at picking up signals, it makes it harder to beat them.”
The only thing that would be illegal is if Michigan scouted opponents’ signals illegally, either in person at previous games or by somehow acquiring inappropriate recordings.
