I presume that Ono was aware of this information as president of the university when the attempt at stonewalling the B1G occurred. It is absolutely stunning that Ono is trying to protect Harbaugh from this. Ono is willfully allowing the reputation of his university to be damaged on the hope that the football team will win a few more games that are almost certainly going to be vacated at some future date. It makes zero sense. I have to think that at any other university having a similar academic reputation, the president of the university would have put the coaches head on a spike by now."Given the University’s statement that evidence was scant and the Conference’s assertions
unsupported, the Conference made affirmative efforts to verify the University’s prior knowledge
of and access to relevant evidence. Accordingly, pursuant to the mandatory cooperation
provisions in the Sportsmanship Policy, the Conference requested the University’s consent to
allow the Conference to obtain from the NCAA all documents and information that the NCAA
had made available to the University in connection with the investigation into the impermissible
scheme. The University initially refused to provide such consent, citing confidentiality
provisions in the NCAA’s bylaws. The University also asserted that “[h]istorically, the NCAA,
to our knowledge, has not permitted disclosure.” The Conference promptly obtained written
confirmation from the NCAA that it did not object to providing such documents and information
upon receiving the University’s consent. The University ultimately provided its consent after
receiving this written confirmation from the NCAA."

"This additional evidence ... confirms what the evidence already reviewed by the Conference makes clear ...
This evidence also revealed significant new information from
interviews that the University attended, information that is covered by confidentiality under the
NCAA’s rules so as not discussed further here."
