More Michigan Cheating

Michigan not only stole OSU's signals, we stole their direction as well

Just excuses. Sorry, OSU fans, but Jim Harbaugh still OWNS Ryan Day
 
Some theories floating around that people not affiliated with the program being used to scout opponents would operate in a grey area. And we do know that Harbaugh likes operating in grey areas (on-campus football camps banned because of harbaugh - whole team vacations limited because of Harbaugh)

Can you imagine (Coach gets his first P5 gig):

"Welcome to Nebraska and the big time Skippy, gonna need ya take the Go Big Red credit card and head on out and scout Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, & Minnesota offense , check for signs and come tell us what they all mean and what's workin for them"

I'm not talking about sitting in the stands and recording the video. Teams are given full game video, multiple camera angles and full field shots (which include signals) to scout future teams. So yes, in 1994 having someone sitting in the stands recording video would be an advantage. In 2023 I just don't see the argument.

You keep saying that over and over.

If that's the case then what was the purpose of Michigan "having someone sit in the stands recording video" of future opponents signs?

Well, we don't' really know the context of what's being accused here. I personally can't think of an advantage a team would have by sitting someone in the stands. From someone who sits in the stands 7-8 times a year, I can tell you most of the time I come home, watch highlights and see a bunch of stuff that I didn't/couldn't see in the stadium. I guess you could gain some minor bits of information from being in person but it would have to and couldn't only be supplemental to the video scouting that every single team does. Unless they were very literally on the sidelines of games I just can't see what significant value this would hold.

I think that's for a few reasons. but mostly, I think another coach had made the accusation and forced the NCAA to look into it. But I think the NCAA lacks any significant proof of it. I also do think Harbaugh pissed someone off at the NCAA. But I also think the NCAA is an organization who's lost all teeth so, as of late, they've been going hard on nonsense because they can't actually enforce more significant things anymore.

And Michigan had a bad year in 2020, like many teams, because like 10 starters opted out. The roster was a mess. But Michigan had a pretty clearly established good team prior to 2020 under Harbaugh. The only difference was the Ohio State win.

More likely someone sitting in the stands (who was aware of the rule) behind the Michigan individual that was recording said future opponents signs.

If we did anything, I very much doubt that Michigan had anyone on payroll at games. Especially anyone who would be recognized as a "michigan individual".

The fact that this broke on OSU forums, the claim was "vast network of spies" and now is "low level staffer with military grade gear" is hilarious to me. Tells me everything I need to know about how much Harbaugh has ruined that program. We know where this attack is coming from.

It doesn't matter where the news broke because the Big 10 notified all of Michigan's future opponents.
 
MAIZEandBLUE09 said:
I'm not saying that. I'm saying it broke on OSU forums first because the accusation, IE the only other people who would know outside the NCAA, came from the Ohio State staff. That's a pretty easy conclusion to make.

False.

All of Michigan's future opponents were notified by the Big 10.
