No! That is not the end of that. Are you kidding me? This is a major scandal, and not for Wake Forest. Anybody who used that information from Elrod cheated to win a football game. This includes coach Bobby Petrino and Louisville, the only school currently believed to have studied at the Tommy Elrod Institute of Higher Cheating. It apparently includes other schools as well. If the Atlantic Coast Conference has a shred of integrity, this will lead to major suspensions, at minimum.

Serious question, is it cheating for the other teams?

If so, why?

It is not cheating, you are just using information given to you. We used to look in trash cans and when go visit the other EQM on road trips for information and take what we could find.

This is no different then stealing signs or getting reads off a cadence.

There were times we found practice scripts, notes, position tests etc.

Every school looks for things, it is Wake's issue nobody else.

Can't believe you need an answer....but:

You can't knowingly accept IP (intellectual property) from someone from another organization that did not give you the information for you to use...This guy was not authorized to give this information to his competitors. It appears that he was not even suppose to be in possession of this material in most cases.

Would Apple get in trouble if some guy came from Google and gave them IP about some breakthrough new product and Apple utilized it?
