    From Michael Falkner@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 19 22:51:06 2023
    High-level NCAA investigation, but this one is of a different kind!

    It appears the NCAA is alleging a high-level and pervasive scouting and sign-stealing operation (including apparently a centerpiece of a low-level football staffer with military experience, according to ESPN's "sources"), where the operation sent out
    scouts to future Big Ten opponents and potential CFP foes to steal their signals for a potential game against the Wolverines.

    Stay tuned.

    Seems like this guy was only hired in '22? So, it would apply to last year and this year but not '21. I actually didn't realize the NCAA banned in-person scouting in 1994 as an equity measure.

    The staffer has been suspended by the university, with pay, for the investigation.

    The question now is whether that's simply due diligence, or...

    Apparently, he was only paid starting in '22, but had been volunteering since '15. Started the scouting and sign-stealing program in '21. Maybe this led to his employment?

    Nothing from That School Up North would surprise me. The real question is if they will renew Harbaugh's contract.

    the country. Just sayin'

    You posted these exact same words in another thread.

    Are you afraid we didn't see your drivel before?

    Do better.

    You didn't figure it out from his copypasta political statements?

    I did. IWishIHadAnEducation Mike is world-famous for his cut and paste jobs. Everyone in this chatroom knows this already.

    I was trying to subtly hint that making the same post in two different threads is bad form. Not that he cares since he's a neanderthal.
