If you want to frame it like that. I agree. Talking about a level playing field is asinine in college football though. There is no such thing as a level playing field in CFB. You have teams spending more on locker room upgrades than some teams have in their entire football budget for multiple years.
The Washington Post article already released confirmed information that the hard drive with all of Stalions' information was accessed by other coaches on the team, so 2/2a aren't true. Care to try again?
We dont know you are not a talking monkey, but it very much soulnds like you are. See how that works...
Yes. And if used for your own use that's fine. IF given to opponents of that team, that's literally scouting of future opponents (the team giving the information doesn't seem like they're in violation but certainly the team asking for/receiving the information).
I have not seen anything that actually supports this. There was a claim floating around twitter, that so far seems unsupported. Stallions being hte one one suspended/fired seems to very much suggest there is no connections beyond him on staff.

So who confirmed the information? Let me guess. Is it a Mr. Jeff Unnamed Source?
We're talking two things here, though. B10 and NCAA. We don't know if this violates the NCAA rule.
There's some obvious answers out there, especially for the better teams in the conference. It also behooves a lot of teams long term to get Harbaugh out.
Right, so there is no "rule" violation in the B10. This is just a determination being made by the commissioner, given broad leeway to independently make that determination. Hence the controversy. There is no B10 rule Michigan violated in plain text.
The B1G isn't going to be able to much of anything. Only way they do is if there is evidence of Harbaugh knowing about this. They may suspend him for a game.
And conference leadership is...the schools. The B10 governing body is...the schools; specifically the presidents.
Good point, the Washington Post is putting out articles biased against michigan without any kind of solid sources
The NCAA did make that a rule. There seems to be enough evidence here, or lack thereof, to reasonably suggest that Harbaugh probably didn't know a crazy person on staff was donning a disguise on the sidelines of the CMU/MSU game. The NCAA isn't bound by rule to make that conclusion. They can if necessary. But, again, we still don't know if they even view this as a rule violation and if they do, what level (1, 2 or 3)
