Seems like they were caught red handed cheating but the college football writers normally aren’t foaming at the mouth over stuff like this especially with a “blue blood” like Michigan

Thamel, Dellenger, Forde, etc are tweeting about this every hour of the day

Nobody likes a cheater. Just look at everyone cheering the Astros loss.

I heard Harbaugh banged Thamel's wife.

Harbaugh rustles the jimmies of a bunch of people. That’s why they are taking aim at him.

To be fair, I don’t remember a similar case happening at a blue blood, and UM’s staffer is leaving behind a readily available paper trail to pick apart.

Forde has written a few articles all the way back in January attacking Harbaugh and Michigan saying they think they're morally superior and basically Harbaugh is a mess and is wrong for flirting with the NFL over the years and I hate them, etc...

Bringing up them minor b.s. Michigan had in the off-season like it was a huge deal...and Harbaugh should've been suspended longer.

So Forde is dancing and taking a victory lap now.

I mean, they cheated...I'm not sure why people are having a hard time with this.

Do others do it - I'm sure, but they have been smart enough to not get caught.

That said, Michigan has violated an NCAA rule, so the NCAA is investigating. Could you imagine if Bama had done this, been caught, and the NCAA turned a blind eye? The rest of the SEC would be beside themselves screaming about how they broke the rules and are getting away with it.

I honestly think it’s because of Harbaughs politics

I don’t know but Michigan deserves all the attacks. Those slapdicks are the most self-important, holier than thou, self righteous group of fans to walk the earth.

If this was about an SEC school, they’d be shouting from the rooftops about how they do things the right way.

frick them

Guys, come on. This has the NCAA written all over it, especially with their mouthpiece, Forde.

Harbaugh told them to kick rocks with the suspension on something they could not prove. Well, they found something they can get him.

Every team in the country does it. Even down to teams giving other teams their notes on the signals from prior weeks.

You really want to go down that road? Because the end of that story is not very favorable to the alphabet crews claims regarding homosexuality and pedophilia.

Why would I care? Not a member of either side.

Catholicism has some very serious issues.

1. This isn't "cheating" like recruits getting money or jewelry, this is actual cheating.
2. Michigan is known for being VERY holier than thou when it comes to athletics.
