No, these sick cocksuckers are everywhere. This is out of the realm of football.
Yep, it isn't political, it isn't religion (except maybe for 1), it isn't sports culture.
I don't think so, but you half to get rid of the vermin who infest your team. I know Penn State had their problems, but they have cleared it out. Any team can be hit. Any cover up should be punished.
Perhaps you are right… Michigan should have been punished (if what you are saying is true). The NCAA is way behind.
Hard to imagine they win this. UM did in fact catch him. But UM may just settle to get rid of it.And now, the first of many (perhaps a couple of thousand) lawsuits were filed vs Weiss and Michigan - a UM soccer player and a UM gymnast claim that Weiss had intimate pictures from his hacking scheme.
2 former UM athletes sue ex-Michigan coordinator, accuse him of stealing 'intimate' photos
The lawsuit came one day after Matt Weiss was charged with stealing intimate photographs and videos of athletes.www.detroitnews.com
"The lawsuit alleges that the two women, one who was a gymnast in 2017 and 2018 and one who was a soccer player from 2017 to 2023, were among Weiss's thousands of victims. The University of Michigan and its Board of Regents failed to supervise and monitor Weiss, which led to women having their privacy invaded, according to the lawsuit."
This is going to end up being very expensive for UM.
Word to the wise: Nothing you have is private. If you don't want others and/or the world to see it, best not to snap the picture.
First of all, I know of no actual evidence, but it sounds like a criminal case followed by a class action civil case. Nothing here appears to be cheating, but Michigan will be paying some serious coin. Matt Weiss will need money for his account.
They caught him, alright - after several years of his antics. Michigan will never allow this to go to court. They would be destroyed by the discovery process alone.
I do imagine all of the cases which will be filed (and there will be many) will be combined into one case and Michigan will set up a fund to compensate victims. It's gonna be a big pile of cash.
We can wait for more facts here but just based on a criminal existing in your midsts I’m not sure that makes you negligent and or financially responsible to the victims. UM has 40,000 employees and he was committing the crime 3x longer under the Ravens org. He was caught by UM IT and immediately fired. Unless there was some coverup or some obvious sign was probably ignored, I don’t think an employer is responsible just because an employee committed a crime while employed. IE, the Bo thing was bad because there was gross negligence and or a cover up by the athletic department.
Why wouldn’t the Ravens be more responsible then? He was only employed by UM for under 2 years and was at the ravens for over 6 while committing the crimes?
if they can prove Michigan was somehow negligent in the way they handled student data.
It wouldn't exactly be shocking if they were. That athletic department is rotten, to put it nicely.
I’m not fully up to date on how civil trials play out but I don’t think UM will just pay off any lawsuit they get hit with; especially if there isn’t a valid argument that they should be held liable.
I’d agree with this. I would not be shocked. But that would have to be true for the students to have a legitimate complaint here against the school.
While working at Michigan, he used university-owned equipment to perpetrate his crimes.
