*2024 tCun Shenanigans, Arguments, Cobras, Feckless Marmots, Fake Pandas, Dirty Cheaters

The term "willfully" keeps popping into my head. It appears that from at least January 2023 on, a number of people (potentially including president Oh No!) knew about the cheating and took actions that enabled the coaching staff to continue to willfully violate NCAA rules. Whether these people are merely accomplices or rise to the level of conspirators, I don't know. But this seems really bad.
This is what Joe Paterno did - he knew of the bad, or wrong things, and he did nothing. Okay, fine - he told the athletic director. Whatever. Call the police!! He should have slapped McQueary for not calling the police and then he should have called the police. Every day he didn't call the police was another day he let it go.

*ichigan did the same thing for X number of days. By not telling someone, they enabled the cheating. And so *ichigan, as a school, is tainted. The real professors and teachers should be furious that this was allowed to happen for as long as it did. Their school has a very high reputation, and cheating at any department taints the reputation of every department.

By the way, if their punishment ends up being 50% as good as the internet rumors, I will be happy.

If it ends up being more than 50%…

If nothing else, they should be outraged that Ono and Harbaugh have publicly turned them into the win at all costs football factory that they always pretended they weren't.

There's definitely likely still a good number of "real academic" types who can't stand and won't stand for this kind of shit.

The thought of scUM marching into negotiations and acting like they are going to call all of the shots while the NCAA sits their with the receipts in hand while scUM is rambling about how they arent going to accept any punishment other than a small slap on the wrist and maybe some fines while being given immunity from any further investigations is hilarious because you know that's probably indeed how things have actually gone so far with that.
This.

Yea what a joke. he claims to be "upset" but keeps dancing around saying they outright cheated. The "well we can't really know how much the illegal scouting actually affected things" claims are outright asinine.

I’d like for someone to straight up ask him how he would feel as a QB back in Colorado if a defense he was playing knew, for 80% of his snaps, if the play was run or pass… let alone anything more detailed than that. Just knowing if you’re defending a run or a pass is enough of an advantage that it becomes a significant advantage very quickly. The ‘we don’t know the impact’ bull shit would stop immediately.

One question regarding the "Untold" story.

Stalion's lawyer swears someone must have hacked into his email (not laptop - he specifically said email) to get the spreadsheets because he did not share them with anyone.

Is Stalions using his email for a different purpose than the rest of us?

Any deflection they have tried using is basically hanging on everyone else being stupid enough to believe it.

Preliminary (at least) confirmation of Ord’s theory about the investigation being brought by sports books (3rd pic)
To dig a little further into this point, the specific part of the post that I was referring to was:

The prevailing belief among my sourcing is that this investigation was contracted by sports books who ultimately HAD HELP by someone on UM’s staff.

It seems to me that the help that they had was from someone who "owed them something", or over whom they had some means of control. I will leave the details as an exercise for the reader.
