I keep seeing Michifags posting this but never back it up. If everyone does it, it should be easy to prove.

What is the effective difference between scouting future opponents live and learning their signs, and talking to coaches who played your future opponents in the past and receiving the signs from them? The end result is the same, it's absurd that one of these is against the rules and the other is fine.

Seems like a witchhunt. I'm thinking if Michigan had 3 losses on the season this wouldn't be a thing.

1000% correct. It’s a shame that them being unbeaten and possibly playoff bound should affect this outcome. The cheating seems to be one of reasons they are where they are.

So do we think Jim gets on the plane but then has to get off? Would be great to see him get escorted off the plane lol

I’ve heard that they may do it to start next year. That would mean nothing.

you think that what michigan did gives them some type of advantage over what everyone else does? every team uses some form of third party scouting service. it isn't illegal. what michigan did wrong was more procedural than anything that would give them a competitive advantage. i guess we'll see how they finish out the last 5 games of the regular season. the past 2 games don't look any different from the first 7. 3 games to go, though pennst and osu are the only good teams they play this year. rutgers is actually solid this year.

what about the osu game last year? osu knew michigan had their signals.

They why did they do it? It's clear Michigan itself believed it was an advantage

Not really. I just think they got caught and since they're actually good and have so much to lose now's the time they're getting exposed.

Hacking in to OSUs sever and taking practice video footage certainly had to help.

What he's saying is that it's not against the rules to hire a third party to scout your future opponents and give you the same information, Michigan was essentially just doing the same thing but keeping it in-house.

stalions was just sloppy with the way he went about it. should've just hired a 3rd party scouting service and got the same results.

there were rules broken, namely him being on the sidelines of at least one other game, but none of this is some huge advantage.

i think stalions is just one of these overzealous try-hards who gets too cute with things. he apparently needed more oversight and that falls on harbaugh.

hell, osu shared michigans signals with another school as an example among many.

this is a whole lot of nothing that was probably started over people within the michigan community on account of harbaughs political views and/or wanting a bigger piece of the pie for themselves.

it's all about drumming up outrage with an ignorant populace to smear the program.

I'll say this again.

If what they were doing was no big deal all 13 other B1G coaches wouldn't be pissed about it. Michigan historically has been really good and no one said they were cheating blatantly before.

It's more than us as outsiders understand obviously

Bret doesn't play Michigan this year, but did lose a really close one last year to them in November

I'm curious as I've never heard of a scouting service for future opponents, where have you seen/read that? I couldn't find anything like that but granted i only did a quick google search.

In Michigan, they don't call it cheating; they call it creative strategizing. How are you going to cheat and then play victim.

it's just doing the same thing conor stalions did except stalions should have used a go between like everyone else instead of paying people himself.

There's two elements to this. There's the team being really good, and the team being really sloppy about their clandestine operations.

If the team is really good and really good at concealing their operations, then there's no case. And of course if they're sloppy but they're not any good, then no need to make a case about it. There are plenty of other teams doing the same thing but winning 3 games a year.

In this case Michigan is really good, and they're sloppy with their operations so it's the perfect storm for the rest of the conference to bring them down.
