Suspect accused of football game threat enters guilty plea
July 1, 2020
A man who used Facebook to threaten a shooting at Ohio State University and vowed to hurt players on the football team and then-head coach Urban Meyer pleaded guilty Wednesday, authorities said.
An indictment unsealed late last year in federal court in Columbus accused Daniel Rippy of making the “electronic communication” threat from California during the game between Ohio State and the University of Michigan in 2018. The game was played in Columbus that year, and Ohio State won 62-39.
Rippy threatened a shooting at the school, saying in a Facebook message to the university, “I’m seriously going to hurt the students and all of the players from the football team,” according to a statement of facts filed Wednesday with the plea agreement.
In separate messages, Rippy also threatened “to injure or kill specific players, their family members and the head coach,” the document said.
Rippy previously entered a not guilty plea before Judge Algenon Marbley, who ordered him to remain in detention.
“Graphic threats of violence against anyone, but especially threats during high-profile events, are taken seriously and will be prosecuted,” said David DeVillers, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
Rippy faces five years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing, which has not been scheduled.
Rippy “understands and accepts” the terms of the plea agreement, his federal public defender, Soumyajit Dutta, said in a signed statement as part of Wednesday’s plea agreement.
Rippy was arrested Dec. 28 in Livermore, California, released on bond, but then failed to report to the court’s Pretrial Services division as required. Rippy also didn’t report to a halfway house as required, court documents said.
He was rearrested in January and ordered sent to Ohio.

Bill "Bank" Greene on Michigan's 2020 team. Some surprising comments from Greene, a noted anti-homer....
Discusses (1) Harbaugh entering the last year of his contract (expires at end on 2021 season) with no extension on the table, how it's a bad sign for program stability and negatively impacts recruiting; (2) Nico Collins and Ambry Thomas opting out even though they are not NFL ready; (3) Osman Savage and Aaron Lewis (both 2020 signees) transferring before the start of the 2020 season; and (4) presumptive starting QB Dylan McCaffrey transferring days after he and his family held rallies to save the 2020 Big Ten season (hints that the Michigan staff lied to him about being the starting QB, then gave the job to Joe Milton).
Predicts that Michigan will go 4-4 or 5-3 this season, with Ohio State thrashing them again: "There's nobody in America right now that thinks Michigan is on a par with Ohio State ... I see no chance they're going to beat Ohio State this year ... barring some miracle."
As for Michigan's future: "Definitely not a program that's getting better ... the needle is pointing down. [Michigan has been] getting murdered [in The Game] ... complete no-shows, non-competes."

They're probably waiting for him to go 4-2, after an almost-not-blowout at State Penn (bad calls and missed calls and non calls from the Pennsyltucky officiating crew notwithstanding) before they put an extension on the table.Was not aware Harbaugh's contract had not been extended. I would like to think that hurts recruiting.
But the increased likelihood that he might leave probably helps them.
