This time for scouting future opponents in person, which has been prohibited since 1994. Allegedly, they scouted opponents to steal signs.
Michigan football under NCAA investigation ... again
- Thread starter phoenix4nu
- Start date
Officially using this as an excuse for why the beat the hell out of the Huskers. HAD TO STEAL OUR SIGNS TO BEAT THE BIG RED!
Yes, that has got to be it……should vacate the win immediately. Closer to bowl eligible…
Now EVERY B1G team is going to know our offsides signal!!
I asked an NAIA coach one time what some of those signs mean that were held up on the sidelines, he said nothing, they are just a distraction to keep teams wondering what they mean.
I was just saying how Minnesota's administration sabotages men's basketball whenever they're good.
I'm sure Michigan being so good in football rubs a lot of Michigan's administration the wrong way. People in academia in the upper-midwest DESPISE football & men's basketball. And so does the media.
Nobody made harbaugh cancel his season in 2020
He is a pussy
Little brother syndrome like you read about
surprised not to see "if you aint cheating, you aint winning" guy in here yet, lamenting the fact that NU doesnt cheat enough.
I can't believe they would bother cheating based on the lame schedule they have played so far.
Capt. Obvious statement:
If true, it would make things much easier if you know what the other team is going to do
Also, they should have to vacate any wins

Harbaugh seems like the type of slime ball who would cheat to get any kind of advantage over a team - even though he needs no extra advantage.
Reminds me of Belichick. I remember the specific opponent they were initially busted on was some bottom-dweller team at the time.
What does this even mean? it's out there in the public for all to see... If someone gives the bird from the sideline and that's the signal for ramming the FB up their Ass it's not like it's hidden... can't tell me that EVERY team ignores this... I call BS and I'm not a Hairball fan
This is where I’m at. I’m the furthest thing from a Michigan fan, but this smells like a bureaucratic NCAA hissy fit. They’re losing their power month by month and eventually they will completely lose their grasp of collegiate football.
Anyone that trusts the NCAA at this point in regards to CFB must like to stare at the sun. Joe Moglia literally called the NCAA “the worst leadership I have ever seen” on Zatehcka and Justice’s podcast.
Or, maybe Michigan is actually cheating. What, you think they're making this up as some kind of a last-ditch gambit to hang onto their relevancy? Something smells alright.
I could very well be wrong. I just cannot stand the NCAA.
We did it to some degree in high school. Several times. Not quite like this. Generally just when the other team was dumb enough to not disguise their calls. And we’d have about 90% of them down by halftime. And the really dumb ones wouldn’t adjust at the half.
on average, people drive drunk 80 times before getting arrested for it.
point is, this likely isn't the first or only time they've done something shady.

Lol, what if Michigan actually wins a legitimate natty in the poll era/cfp era and has to vacate it?
That’s the kind of frontier justice you love to see.

Agree. As strong as that team is, there is ZERO reason to risk everything on something like sign stealing.
Throw more money at everyone involved. Sure it might not be moral/ethical whatever, but it would be so 2023 and besides, who cares about all those boomer words. PFFFFT.
Seems to be the go to solution.

Boys! Boys! Boys! Don't you know how much pressure Jim is under coaching back in Ann Arbor? If he doesn't win enough games the school is likely to do something silly like withhold a portion of his pay.
So is it Shady that players spend obscene amounts of time studying film to pick up any little detail that could give them an advantage? How they line up, the audibles they call, the looks they give but oh no... don't look at the sideline signals, that's CHEEEEEETIN! LOL Give me a break
If the rule in question is in person scouting and the school broke it, then penalize them and any other school that does this.
If they didn’t violate the rule or the rule is not enforced consistently, then move on.

I guarantee there are forces in the Michigan administration who would love nothing more than to derail the football program. That's just how it is at most midwestern universities.
Look for Harbaugh to bolt to the NFL after this year. I could see Belichick stepping down and Harbaugh replacing him.
Is driving with a closed bottle of liquor you intend to consume worse than driving with weed in your car?
Probably, but one is explicitly against the rules and proves you're not above breaking them
I have never seen that stat but I believe it and honestly it is probably on the low end. Anyone that has ever went to happy hour after work has driven home drunk.
I guess now teams are "worried" about playing UM, which is fantastic.
All it will take is one team to refuse to play them and Michigan will crumble.
