Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
ESPN Article: Sources confirmed to ESPN that Stalions purchased tickets on both sides of the stadium -- across from each bench -- for Ohio State's game with Penn State on Saturday. Michigan plays both teams in upcoming weeks. According to sources, the tickets purchased by Stalions were not used Saturday. Stalions' name emerged publicly in an ESPN story Friday. He was suspended with pay by Michigan.
None of the tickets that the 11 schools told ESPN about involved Michigan as an opponent, per sources. The games involved either one or both of the teams that the Wolverines were playing later that season, according to sources.
Sources indicated that Stalions forwarded tickets to at least three other individuals, with the ticket transfer showing up through ticket data tracking. Those tickets were used by individuals other than Stalions to get into the game, including the one in the video the NCAA is expected to receive.
Sources told ESPN last week of an "elaborate" scouting system, and that appears to be emerging less than a week after Yahoo Sports first reported that the NCAA was investigating Michigan's scouting. Stalions often purchased the tickets with his own credit card, according to sources. The sources added that tickets at multiple venues were bought via the online retailers such as StubHub or SeatGeek.
The ticket purchases fall into a seat location pattern -- somewhere around the 45-yard line and raised up enough for a clear view of the opposite sideline.
One source told ESPN that Stalions bought tickets to five different games at that school over the past three years. Another said it was four games over the past two years. A third source said it was nine games over the past three years. Some of the purchases were single tickets, others were for multiple people, and sometimes seats were bought on both sides of the stadium near midfield.
One source said Stalions bought some tickets across from the home sideline in order to scout the home team, which Michigan played that season. But the source added there have also been tickets purchased on the other side of the stadium facing the sideline of the opponent, including one purchase across from the visiting sideline in the weeks before Michigan played Ohio State.
The first NCAA rule in question is scouting in opposing stadiums, which has been in place since 1994. The second potential rule being broken, evidence of which had not been reported prior, could mean that Michigan violated Article 11 subsection H of the NCAA football rulebook: "Any attempt to record, either through audio or video means, any signals given by an opposing player, coach or other team personnel is prohibited."
It's uncertain who was funding the purchases. Stallions makes $55,000 per year, according to the University of Michigan's website. But the operation included thousands of dollars in ticket sales and the cost of travel to the stadiums.
scUM is SCREWED...big time.....
It will be interesting to hear who the sources are.

I don’t.
I want their season to be done now.
I want the pain of “what could have been” instead of potentially winning out and experiencing the joy that moment will bring.
I want JJ crying in front of a fucking camera from a Michigan podium saying how this isn’t fair.

The only question now is who "shoots" them first? The NCAA or Big10.

How can they get any benefit from the scheme without the offensive and defensive coordinators receiving the information, and then adjusting their calls during the games? The coordinators have to be involved with utilizing the information that’s been gathered, and to think that the head coach isn’t aware of what the coordinators are basing their calls on is ludicrously naive.
Harbaugh should receive a minimum of a 5-year show cause penalty in the next few months. Tressel got a 5 year show cause penalty for saying he had no knowledge of wrongdoing when signing an annual statement for the NCAA, and them being certain he had such knowledge based on emails.
Being in charge of a program that is pro-actively cheating to gain a competitive advantage during games should be much more serious than denying knowledge of something somebody was aware of but didn’t orchestrate. But I’ll settle for the same 5-year penalty - I just want the NCAA and/or the B1G to not take a painful amount of time to determine the culpability and bring the hammer down.
