Move along. Nothing to see here.... Nothing to see here.

Although the allegations are probably true... (hell they were accused of same thing in 2022), just like the 4 game suspension for Harbaugh this year when they played weak teams, any infraction will be met with a MASSIVE PENALTY OF NOTHING.

NCAA SUCKS. Look at KU basketball. They had audio tapes of the players being paid and nothing happened....

If you ain't cheating, you aint' trying.

Sign stealing...lol.
Isn't the reason signs/signals are utilized is to have an unknown element to plays. Change your signs ffs. Protect your signs. "Stealing" ain't the word for deciphering the code.

Since when is this illegal?

Been part of the game for 100 years

It sounds like the type of sign stealing they were doing was aginst NCAA rules. Not just looking across the field during a game... They may have done some covert stuff.

They had a former military captain in their "recruiting" group that must have been doing some illegal stuff (illegal per NCAA rules). They are saying its worse than the charges against Harbaugh from last year and worse than the Astros or Patriots cheating. Not sure if that's the case since the details are murky.

Sources: U-M staffer eyed as center of scheme

AGREED

 

[KVB]

Yeah, the sign stealing itself isn't against the rules, it's how they went about doing that breaks rules.

Rules Michigan Violated.

The first NCAA rule in question is scouting in opposing stadiums, which has been in place since 1994. The second potential rule being broken, evidence of which had not been reported prior, could mean that Michigan violated Article 11 subsection H of the NCAA football rulebook: "Any attempt to record, either through audio or video means, any signals given by an opposing player, coach or other team personnel is prohibited."
