OT: Possible NCAA Investigation into Michigan Scouting Opponents.
- Thread starter tico brown
- Start date
Forfeited games as a penalty? Rutgers 6-1 and would be bowl eligible right now?!?!? With our luck, it would be proven RU was the only team they did not scout...because they didnt have to in order to win.
I can't believe that sanctimonious Coach Harbaugh would even consider cheating!
Prediction — this will end up as absolutely nothing.
From the article, sounds like a loophole:
"Sign stealing is not technically prohibited and has a long and colorful history as part of the game. Scouting opponents in person has been prohibited since 1994. Whether the NCAA believes Michigan was using staffers or others who may be loyal to the program is unknown. So, too, is whether information was detailed via video or some other means or if head coach Jim Harbaugh is involved."

We definitely blew the whistle ! Schiano basically friggen said this at the halftime interview of that game before! He was pissed.
From the article “Two of Michigan's opponents this season told Yahoo Sports they became aware that Michigan knew their play signs”
At halftime to the BTN cameras schiano said outright that some fu@$ed up stuff was happening out there . Go back and watch !
Wow, I can’t believe all of you are missing this.
Plum nails it again !

Well, there’s some stuff going on out there,” Schiano said on the Big Ten Network broadcast. “So we just got to slow it down a little bit. There’s some things going on that aren’t right as well. So we’ll talk about how to handle it.”
Echoing above...makes you wonder if that's what Schiano was referring to in the brief halftime interview at the game a few weeks ago. Tough to change signals at halftime of a game...maybe that's how the route got jumped by the CB for the pick 6--as if he knew it was coming.
ha true, the RU screw is a cruel mistress
And wasn’t Harbaugh’s previous suspension originally for four games before being reduced to three and come back vs Rutgers?
^Prediction -- this will prove to be an accurate assessment.
#1 defense my ***.
Interesting how we never ran that screen play before and yet the DB knew it was coming. Hmm

Not this year anyway... next down year.. or after Harbaugh jumps to the NFL and they hire some trans-woman coach to blame failures on.. then Michigan will self-impose some penalty that is quickly accepted by the conference and NCAA. They will vacate old wins but the other teams do not count them as wins either.
LOL. It's only a win if you posted GS was referring to cheating when it happened on September 23. Not a month after the game and after the NCAA Investigation news comes out.
You know.. putting this together.. what Schiano said at halftime plus that coach quote... I bet our players.. on both sides of the ball.. noticed both defensive and offensive audibles that perfectly matched the play calls signaled in on our side.
I would not be surprised if Michigan players outright shouted that so-and-so was going to blitz.. or "screen screen screen".. or similar obvious tip that they had stolen our signs. There had to be a lot of talk about it before the half for Schiano to say that... heck.. maybe coaches from other teams Michigan had already played tipped him off... though we were their first Big Ten game.
That’s what Greg was talking about when he said stuff is happening on the field lol
When does the NCAA ever do that, and in a timely fashion? Maybe they would do.it two years from now.
just watched the condensed version of all GW throws in that game- just a few things that happened that really turned that game from us- the obvious phantom hold early- killed a great chance to put them in an early 2 score hole. The Int for a TD- also only happened because they picked up the flag on an obvious taunting.#1 defense my ***.

And then end of game where we had to go for the 4th and 6 instead of it being a one score game that it should have been.
We actually had a pretty good game against them.
they had that sign but JH also had his scouts read our board so they knew that GW could never hit a WR in stride over the middle so they didn't worry about it. duh
Nothing will happen to Michigan. Rutgers does not get the W. The NCAA hammers the University of Michigan at IrrelevantTown with penalties so their flag football team can't play in next year's state fair.
