I'm still not optimistic that any meaningful punishment comes out of this. I just don't see the NCAA or the B1G dropping the hammer (unless its on their own foot).

If it were up to me however, because there is video clearly showing that both the OC and DC were in communication with Stallions, they are both suspended indefinitely, pending the results of the NCAA investigation. Then put a proposal in front of Harbaugh that he can also accept an indefinite suspension. If he continues to insist that he was not aware of any wrongdoing, he can continue to coach. If the investigation produces proof that he did in fact know this was going on, he will be slapped with a 5 yr show cause and ttun will receive a 3 yr bowl ban - beginning when the investigation wraps up (most likely sometime in 2027). All B1G wins from the 2021, 2022 & 2023 seasons are vacated as well as the 2021 & 2022 B1G championships.

Again, none of this is likely to happen, IMO.... They cheated, won a bunch of games because of it and I think they're gonna get away with it.

Since it looks like the next step is going to be Pettiti dealing with the University Presidents and Chancellors, Just how involved would interim OSU President Mohler get considering Ted Carter assumes the full time role in January?

Is Carter still the functioning President at Corn? If so, he will have a seat at that table. I assume that Mohler will talk to Gene Smith, some trustees and the faculty athletic council and vote accordingly. I assume we still have a vote despite having an interim, and I can't imagine that vote isn't to sanction and suspend.

I think the coaches and ad's put Petitty into a corner. He has to act, or he ends up pissing off 13 schools to protect 1. Auerbach says he's having a sitdown with Ono today. I would hope that's to tell him to deal with Simple Jim NOW! or else he and the other 13 schools will.

You know who's one smiling motherfucker kicking it in the Caribbean right now telling himself Marcellus Wallace was right? Kevin Warren.

I agree - with all of it. All of that SHOULD happen. None of it WILL happen. Not in time, anyway. I mean, M*ch*gan has enough info to cheat their way to a conference championship this year. The Big Ten will vacate that and the 2 before that. And this is about the worst thing the Big Ten can do. Get in there and stop the bank robber! They were in the process of robbing the bank for the third time, someone triggered the alarm, and they're still in there when the police showed up. Stop this now, take them down. Then build your case for 2021 and 2022, and see if anything else happened.
But I don't think they will...

The game within a game: Secrets of a college football signal stealer

Espionage on the sideline and in the coaches' booth is increasing in college football, but does all that effort make a difference on the field?

theathletic.com

He agreed to share some of his secrets with The Athletic to provide insight on the practice of signal stealing in college football. We agreed to not disclose his identity or the details of the teams he’s worked for or faced.

One example of his handiwork came against a conference rival. “I got their stretch, boot and power signals as soon as I saw their first series,” he says, acknowledging the simplicity of the boot giveaway. It was someone on the sideline gesturing as if they were putting boots on. “It’s too simple sometimes because they have to communicate it to the players and they don’t want to add another layer onto the players to not screw it up.

“Their coach makes the call. Right as he makes the call, I said, ‘You’re getting boot.’ They booted right into an edge blitz, and we made a pick.”

That interception, a pick-six, was a game changer, and by the end of the day they had held a gifted quarterback and his offense to less than half their offensive production from a year earlier.

This season, the business of signal stealing could become more challenging. In May, the NCAA passed a rule limiting the number of people who can use headsets during a game to 20, including the 15 coaches (head coach, 10 assistants and four graduate assistants). The other five headsets will go to four players and one other staffer who is in a non-coaching role. “What a drastic change that may be for some schools,” said one Power 5 coordinator who suspects some programs used those additional headsets as part of their signal-stealing operation.

So much worse stuff inside but I think it's Conor in my constant paranoia.

Bigger scandal than steroids in baseball?

Correct. But Tressel and Urban were the real dirty coaches......

FINALLY!

At this point JuggalOno goes all-in on Simple Jim. He had the chance for leadership and passed. Now, it's too late to get ahead of this and do the right thing and suspend/whack Simple Jim and his coaches. Now, he faces two possible scenarios. 1. Simple Jim and tsun ride this out in which case he's a hero. 2. Simple Jim goes down and the p.r. hit for the tsun is magnitudes greater than if they'd come clean and suspended/whacked Simple Jim in the beginning. If it's the latter, look for him to be gone before the end of 2024. If it's the former, look for him to be gone as soon as Simple Jim reverts to "I don't have your signs" Simple Jim. Honestly, I'm almost as eager to watch that clown's downfall as I am Simple Jim's.

It blows my mind that a large top-ranked research university is letting their "on-the-spectrum" coach, who has been caught red-handed as being involved in an ongoing cheating conspiracy, drag them into this mess just because he's figured out a way to win games by breaking the rules. I have to think any other president in the B1G would have, at a minimum, suspended Harbaugh by now pending the results of the several ongoing investigations. What is Ono afraid of? Not being liked by the student body?

Thought the same thing.

Wish "Slapshot" was in these meetings.

 

[AJHawkfan]

I'm so tired of hearing the justification that its no big deal because so many other teams do it. Oh yeah, then who else? Give me a list. Tell me names. Show me pictures and videos. If so many other teams do it, prove it. Show me another team who's been accused of the same shit the ttun is doing. If you can't prove it, then stfu becauase it can't be used as justification.

Ono's always been afraid of that and has always used sports to further his own brand. He's a poor man's Gordon Gee who Peter Principled himself into the tsun job. In the end, this is going to take him down, but he's too arrogant and over confident in his political scheming ability to realize it.

 

[ochre]

Yeah! Academic Integrity violations really carry tough punishment, Just like they gave it to North Carolina for those fake classes……errr..umm….Never mind!

yeah, good point. I meant more like the real penalties actual students face for submitted papers and such :).

Agreed.
"Everyone drives 73mph in 65mph zones." Well, yeah. M*ch*gan was caught going 98mph in that same zone. If 98mph is what M*ch*gan was doing, I'm not sure what 73mph is in this analogy.
Maybe other cars are going 98mph. I don't know - I don't see them. I hope no one else is going 98mph. But that wouldn't excuse the car the highway patrol stopped. It just means that the officer has more people to pull over after this one.
