Sources: NCAA investigating Michigan football for alleged rule violations related to

[thewolverines24]

I just posted that link in #116.

Sorry! I missed it

Well if it's on mgoblog, I guess that's that

Well,, when you have a bunch of lawyers, on that site, its pretty credible info.

At the end of the day, the NCAAs own rule or non-rule was taken to a place they didnt think would go. They will have to rewrite the bylaws, if they dont want this type of thing going on. Orrr they get rid of it altogether liked they discussed a couple years ago.

Right, because lawyers are bound by a code of ethics...and they don't get things wrong, particularly when they're in bunches.

I expect that this will finally introduce wireless communication, which has only been around for 112 years.

I think the bylaws they found are pretty cut and clear. This has nothing to do with ethics. These are the bylaws written by the NCAA. The lawyers didnt make them up.

I remain convinced this entire thing is bullshit.

We didn't do anything most other teams aren't already doing and have been doing to us for years, and it's not that big of a deal to begin with.

I'll add: this Stalions guy seems like a fanatic, and while a lot of programs have guys who violate even more serious rules (remember THIS SEC bagmen story?), it seems a bit of a culture clash to have someone like him around our program. We should probably politely distance ourselves from him, and move on. I say politely, because we don't want a crazy guy like him developing a vendetta against us.

Hopefully he finds a more chill hobby.

you are starting to sound like an SEC fan

I will never understand that. These programs have MILLIONS of dollars...i bet they all could invest $30K in the wireless devices.

 

[Michchamp]

Yeah, I don't care. Can't control what other fans are going to say about us.

We haven't done anything even close to this or this, and only in the latter case did they even get in trouble, and even then the punishment didn't fit the crime, in my opinion.

Well this is good news that these are just 2 totally different issues with idiots Harbs hired.

It has been discussed multiple times. Coaches don't want it because... They want to be able to steal signs.

There are legitimate questions regarding liability. Apparently installing the audio devices voids the helmet warranty. Unlike the NFL which has 1 helmet supplier and collectively bargains between the league and players, CFB doesn't have any such central entity. Who would be responsible if a player wearing the headset gets injured? The school? Conference?

That's what they lean on to prevent going to the audio, the real reason they don't is they want to be able to steal signals.

Isaiah Hole report today:

I actually spoke to a Big Ten source, who gave me a quote ? if other people are out there sharing anonymous quotes and these ESPN and SI articles, I can too. So, here is what I learned, ?Every Sunday, coaches and support staff with mutual connections throughout the conference contact each other to trade not just schematic notes, but also to trade signals. Some of the top teams who consistently trade signals and have very accurate information on common opponents are Michigan, Rutgers, Ohio State, Indiana, and Purdue. Other teams who are decent at it and would always look to trade are Illinois, Northwestern, Maryland, Minnesota, and Penn State. Wisconsin was oblivious to it but is likely no longer with the new staff. Michigan State, Iowa, and Nebraska appear to be oblivious and out of the loop.?

The other note I wrote down from my conversation, ?Each team knows who each team?s [sign-stealer] is, and they have their phone number.? So, this is a pretty common practice, and clearly this also suggests that teams aren?t necessarily as afraid of Michigan as they are publicly proclaiming ? or, I should say, anonymously proclaiming. This gives credence to, ?Michigan is annihilating everything in its path. What can we do in order to kind of keep Michigan from achieving its goals??

Again, this whole thing is pointless.

The bad news is: this will all blow over and you'll remember your football team is 2-5 and may not win another game, since IU is on the road.

Sparty better not be in passing situations too much. Those 2 Indiana DEs are going to eat them alive.

Thamel was reporting that NCAA investigators were on campus interviewing staff today. Webb and Angelique Chenglis (both more plugged-into Michigan than most people) reported that was bullshit. Coaches went out on recruiting trips immediately following practice this afternoon.

I don?t believe this is going anywhere. Harbaugh won?t be severely diciplined and will come out of this ok. Slap on the hands at the most. It has all been overblown because people naturally love scandals. It makes for better news.

Isaiah Hole claims things are going to be fine according to his sources. FWIW!

The problem with all these accusations is they have attached to Michigan as cheaters. People will identify Michigan football as cheaters whenever Michigan football is mentioned.

I know those are the haters, but it?s still not a good attachment to the program. We (you/I and this forum) know the truth and will be defending that tag for years to come if in fact there is no offence.
