I guess it's kinda like... say I break into my neighbor's house. Maybe I want to rob him. I break in, hack the security system, whatever. While grabbing the laptop and the big screen TV, I notice the 2 little kids tied up in the closet. I call the cops and get him arrested. Yeah, I should probably get punished for breaking and entering and attempting to steal property. But that doesn't change the fact that my neighbor had kidnapped 2 little kids.

True. But if you could see the kids from the windows (i.e. you know what games Wild Stallyns was at and can confirm through ticket data and surveillance) then you’d have to be pretty dumb to also tell the cops you broke in (i.e. leak the ‘stolen’ spreadsheet).

This case could have easily been blown wide open with parallel construction.

Considering the evidence that we've actually seen (not the stuff we've heard rumors of), it doesn't seem plausible that a PI firm would have bothered doing anything illegal to gather evidence.

Suppose that:
1) Ohio State suspected sign stealing
2) Hired a PI firm to gather proof
3) Said PI firm looked into it and found the mountains of evidence we've seen without trying all that hard

What PI firm, with that mountain of evidence in hand, would then say, "You know what we ought to do? We should risk jail time and do something illegal to gather evidence of something that we already have dispositive evidence for."

Exactly no legit PI firm is going to go openly spreading out info that they illegally hacked. That's why the "THEY HACKED US!" crap is complete BS. But they are still holding out hope for it.

You can argue the schematics about how petty or not petty Day or Ohio State involving a PI firm to investigate scUMs sign stealing is like DFBIA is, but there is nothing illegal or against the rules about it.

I would like to think that tOSU’s fan base has a “decided semantic advantage” over the DFBIA.

And even if the PI firm DID commit a crime, they'd be on the hook, not their client.... absent evidence that the client directed the firm to take illegal action. And even then, what firm says "oh, you want us to break the law? No problem"

"Pete Thamel reported tonight that in the Big Ten Athletic Directors meeting with Tony Petitti, the most powerful message came from Michigan State athletic director, Alan Haller.

While is has been rumored that Ryan Day has been the most vocal coach, Haller’s message is being discussed the most since it included alterations in preparation that Michigan State needed to go through prior to its game with Michigan when he received a call in the middle of game week.

He also referenced last year, when the Big Ten quickly and aggressively forced Michigan State to suspend numerous players after the tunnel incident in Ann Arbor before the league finished investigating the incident."



Buy that guy a beer. And then buy him another.

This one?

It's hilarious that all of this is stemming from a rumor of the PI firm allegedly being based in New Hampshire "DAY IS FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE MUST FOR SURE BE A CONNECTION!" - That is likely the only real "documentation" Balas and his dopes have.
