But doesn't that go against the statement from UMPD that the Weiss investigation and and the "sign stealing" investigation are in no way related?

Lawyer words.
"No way related" in what sense?
The hacking isn't technically related to sign stealing, but it's pretty obvious everything in this case goes back to his laptop and what was found on it when they started looking at whatever was the triggering event.
My theory is the triggering event was hacking the Woody.
But it could just as well be an anonymous report about alleged underage photos / content on his laptop.

Yep. I do. And I know we need due process and all that. But in the meantime, the bad guy is walking the streets, doing more bad guy stuff. He's got a garage full of stolen goods. Put a cop outside his house to watch him. He's going to steal more shit and he's going to sell it. Stop him before he can go any further.

We've also long reached the point where, in this analogy, the suspect would be arrested.
Effectively stopping their life while they sit in jail (end their season) or post bail (self sanction).

And let's not be naive to the money. The conference is more concerned about that than whether or not we feel cheated. That's just life. Expecting them to shut down tCun and blow them to hell after a couple weeks of news stories and photos is not realistic.

I hope they get everything they deserve, but it's not going to happen tomorrow.

One thing is for sure, the cheating scandal is going to drive viewership up for every TSUN game. Same for internet clicks on every sports oriented website. Don’t know if this sort of thing affects decisions by people who matter. I’m guessing the decision makers at B1G headquarters figure they can always vacate wins later, so why blow up the season. They’ve sold their souls for money on a thousand other issues, so why stop now?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Honestly, if there is some indication they used espionage on OSU to win the last couple, and the success tanks, Scum will be stuck with that huge ass contract.

So if they feel comfortable, I guess bully on them.

It's kind of W-W for them.
If NCAA and B1G does nothing, they're good.
If they do something, they can fire him for cause and get out of it.

What if Stalions was rogue? He out there gathering all this intel and getting in on plays to make them think he's a defensive coaching prodigy hoping he can get promoted to HC at some point?

But..there is no way Hairball never knew him and didn't know all this was going on, he even denied knowing about it at all up to yesterday.

Follow the money. He can't afford all these tickets on 50k, let alone paying his subordinates.

Somebody was funding it. The OC and DC clearly know too.

If they had 50 hours of 2022 practice video, what makes you think they don't have *at least* 50 hours of 2023 practice video?

I’m thinking the footage was on Weiss’s laptop, and he got fired in January after the University Police discovered computer access crimes. Doing another video hack after that seems like it’s probably too brazen for the remaining tCun coaches. And I suppose it’s possible that Scalions was involved in the hacking and it could have continued into this season, but I wouldn’t bet on that.

As camera tech becomes smaller and the resolutions orders of magnitude greater, this was ultimately unavoidable.

I think this will be the death of the “check with me” no huddle/tempo offense with color coded GAs waving sandwich boards and playing charades, and college coaches will be forced to let their QBs trust their eyes and make calls at the line, and barring earpieces for the QB and MLB being allowed at the FBS level, reverting to running in plays with the near-side WR.

I mean, would we lose anything if Day ran the plays into a huddle by rotating Fleming/Tate/and X as the third receivers while Harrison and Egbuka stay on the field?

Considering how long it takes them to get the damn play call in, we better get ready for some more delay of game penalties if they do that.
