Disagree...she has no obligation in his marriage. Who knows what he told her. She may have thought they were separated or had an open marriage.
I know it's shocking...people lie
In some states (NC for one) there is an alienation of affection law through which the other woman (or man) could be held liable for breaking up the marriage. It's not common but there was recently a case settled here against an influencer who was ordered to pay something like $1.5 million. I don't know if Michigan has any such laws.

I don't think DeBoer is realistic unless; however, if they get beat in the first round of the playoffs, maybe. Someone like Joe Brady is a maybe but the Bills may be in the playoffs for awhile so he won't be available any time soon.

Like I said in a previous post, I hope it takes years to find the next coach!

What is the real scandal. Cheating coaches are nothing new. Kiffin, Meyer.

1) Did he actually double her salary? Michigan couldn’t ignore that even if they beat OSU.

2) was she pregnant? That just doesn’t play well.

3) Did Michigan delay this past signing day even though they had the goods?

4) Donors wanted someone else and this was the excuse even if it almost causes a murder/suicide?

Point #3 is very interesting - if scUM's Athletic Department had been investigating Moore for weeks prior to this firing as has been reported (but not admitted by Michigan themselves - they have releases any public statement other than to say he's been fired) and they knew they were going to fire him, but waited until after signing day so they wouldn't lose their signing class, I would think this could generate an NCAA Violation for not disclosing this information to recruits which they (i.e., Michigan's Athletic Department and Senior Executives) almost certainly have a Fiduciary Obligation to do - i.e., they've certainly appear to have acted in "Bad Faith" with regard to their 2026 Class that they just signed. Should be interesting how the NCAA responds to this latest scandal involving a Jim Harbaugh hired Coach (wasn't Moore one of the Coaches sanctioned by NCAA in the Connor Stalions / Jim Harbaugh / Michigan Cheating Scandal??? If so, this could get very ugly for Michigan in regards to unethical behavior towards recruits and the NCAA.

Dave Portnoy, a Michigan alum and the founder of Barstool Sports, posted, 'On a serious note there have been a lot of schools over the years who have looked the other way with scandals. I'd just like to say I'm proud that Michigan refused to do the same.'
The clown spin is underway.
Aside from the elaborate rule-breaking system used to gain an unfair competitive advantage when we won the national championship in football, of course. Aside from that scandal, I’m proud Michigan hasn’t looked the other way with scandals. - Portnoy, pretty much 🤣

That’s exactly how I would feel per my previous post. They conned them into thinking he would be the coach until they got the signature. It’s not as bad as pre portal times, but still. How can I trust that program if they can lie about something so fundamental
Agreed. It just makes me loathe that program even more. They lie and cheat on a regular basis. Hope they lose the entire class. These recruits aren’t stupid. They know UM sat on this for weeks or even months.

She did have to know that as an employee of the athletic department a relationship with the head football coach was verboten and if it were discovered he would be fired. If she were, say, an English professor, it would be a nothing to see here situation.

Due to her pay raise, the AD had to have known, that much is obvious.
ESPN: “HR was aware.” If this is the case then it’s a whole different ball of wax.

Also ESPN: “Something happened in the last week.”

On the other hand, it’s high time that the b1g gives michigan the boot. michigan has a long list of scandals and cover-ups going back to bo, both in the athletic department and elsewhere at the school. michigan is an embarrassment.
Like they did with Harbaugh Stallion cheating scandal - what a tool.

Say what you want about James Franklin, but he was always a great representative of the University - he never embarrased his Employer like this (or the way Moore's predecessor did as well). Who still questions whether scUM/Harbaugh put winning over ethical behavior at this point and took a win regardless of means approach??? The most frightening part about scUM is that the Senior management of the school, including their scumbag President defended Harbaugh to the death with the NCAA - knowing that Harbaugh cheated and knowingly hired unethical coaches and staff members (how about the guy who violated the law in breaking into other Universities', and Michigan's, private computer networks)!?!?

I believe Taylor Lewan just said on ESPN that Matt Campbell should consider going to Michigan because he clearly wasn’t our first option. Is this real life?
Can confirm. Cignitti too. Also Lane K.

It's almost comical when it's not. Michigan has the Dr Anderson, Cheat gate1 and now Cheat gate 2 scandals. Michigan St has the Larry Nassar ( Pointed at USA Women's gymnastics) and Mel Tucker scandals, but PSU 's 2nd Mile scandal, lands at the top.
OSU had their own Dr. problem. Even made an HBO documentary about it. Just as bad--if not worse--than UM's Dr. All three were on a much larger scale than Sandusky.

This has the potential to get SO much worse. The staffer can really go after them. When you are in a subordinate position it is often assumed that you had no choice but to go along with a relationship just by definition. That is why there are policies against this. She can really make life difficult for the university if she chooses to. So can the police, and governing authorities like the NCAA (wait... the NCAA is not a governing authority anymore, how foolish of me). This audacity of the outlaw nature of this program is amazing, they give mid-80s Oklahoma and Miami a run for their money. Meanwhile, their arrogant **** alums are only concerned about getting a high profile coach. No shame.

Yeah, Franklin deserves a medal for not sleeping with his staff and not cheating. That is a pretty low bar for praising a former coach.

If she chose to be the other woman, then she chose to be part of the problem. Yes, he’s the bigger scumbag, but she’s not blameless.
Her extremely high profile supervisor used his influence over her to sleep with her. She is a victim and will be suing the sh*t out of the university. I can assure you she will be pointing out all of the institutional failures that led to this result, including the substantial, abnormal pay raise she received. She has been Lewinskied and her life is (at least temporarily) ruined. It is a sad situation for all involved and it should be left at that.

That being said, how can PSU take advantage? :)

I'd rather they struggle by getting a string of scrappy coaches. Is Richrod ready to try again?

"Where all da white women at"? 😂
I feel for this young girl. Yes, she made a mistake and had an affair with a married man. But she doesn’t deserve to have her life ruined at 19 for it.

I look at Moore as the adult in the situation. He knew better and likely leveraged his power in the situation to convince a young girl to do something dumb.

Now he’s blaming her for ruining his life?! Look in the mirror.

How many times does the cover-up outweigh the crime. There will be huge, i mean huge, consequences if senior management knew of this before signing day and buried it until yesterday. That is outright fraud.
I hear ya', but even if 100% true, absolutely NOTHING will happen.

Someone posted a picture of Moore and this woman walking around campus together in 2024. Whatever they were into, they were both all in on it. See - Lane Kiffin is smart; he cheats only with co-eds whom aren't in his employ.

I’m sure she believed he loved her and was going to leave his wife for her.

But at 18-19 years old, I still direct more of the blame to him.

Agreed. Apparently Larry Ellison would contribute to UM to cover DeBoer's buyout...not sure why, he's not a UM alum. I guess the other question is whether DeBoer wants to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Larry has his own problems today

Rumors are suggesting that they’ve been in talks with whomever the new guy is for some time. Pate even said that agents have known about this opening for a while. Maybe DeBoer wasn’t interested in State because he knew he could be a meatchicken man?

Also Also ESPN: "The Paterno Scandal is worse than this because Joe was not involved but it was football related and he is much more fun to push off a pedestal. As such, and in deference to our employee(s) who are Michigan grads, we will pre-empt all Michigan discussons and run a new 30 for 30 segment, called 'Let's revisit what happened to Penn State in 2011'.

She’s not 19. She graduated high school in 2013, was a junior at Purdue in 2015.
Unless she was a minor, her age has no relevance. What is relevant is that her high profile supervisor used his influence to sleep with her. She was inherently vulnerable regardless of age.

This is the bigger issue IMO; they had a supervisor/subordinate relationship - she could say she felt coerced/pressured. Big problem for UM.

I was responding to posters calling her 18-19.

Apparently she was Moore’s administrative assistant. In that case that’s a big no-no. That doesn’t square with ESPN saying that “HR was aware.” No way HR would okay this.

When they became aware is highly relevant. If they didn't act immediately, big problem. It sure is convenient that the firing happened after signing day.
