In other words, we don't have the ability to be competitive in the NIL landscape.

The DFBIA has used this argument for years and now they are only ramping it with the continued bogus claims that they "don't do NIL"

Funny how most of the "guys who want to be there" tend to be lower level development guys. They really act like they wouldn't take every 5* they could if they were actually interested :lol: :lol: :lol:

Didn't Alford already whiff on some big time RB recruits scUM was supposedly "really in on"? Hilarious that the excuse every time you lose a recruiting battle and have to settled for plan B (or C or D in scUMs case) suddenly becomes "oh we only recruit guys who want to be here!"

Saw this posted on 11W.


This seems to me to be evidence that they used the information obtained from their surreptitious access to the server.

Seems like the only conceivable source for them to know what was coming, when it hadn't been run before, except for in practice.

Lowest of the low, DPIA

They HAD to have had practice footage.

I assumed the practice footage rumor would remain just that forever. But between this and additional chatter from Premier, 22, and Brohio about Weiss it's looking like it'll eventually come out.

If proven, raze the stadium and bulldoze the rubble.

Someone should ask walnut-brain Balas the following question: If the NCAA gave scUM three years probation for one Level I violation in Burgergate, how many years will scUM get for FIVE Level I violations in the Sign Stealing scandal? Including a Level I violation for scUM for its "pattern of noncompliance within the football program" and institutional efforts to impede the NCAA's investigation. Like the NCAA is just gonna tack on another 15 or 20 years to their probation and say: "Yeah, we're good. Keep your Natty."

It is interesting to go back nearly a year and look at the original reporting on this story, much of it which came from the non-traditional sports media like the Washington Post. Here is an ESPN article from October 26, 2023, citing the Washington Post:
The Washington Post reported that the investigative firm that discovered the scheme found records that indicated Michigan planned to send scouts to more than 40 games featuring 10 opponents this season at a cost of more than $15,000. The schedule included as many as eight games involving rival Ohio State and four or five in which two-time defending national champion Georgia was playing. * * *

According to the Post, the firm provided NCAA officials with photographs of people it believed were scouts working for Michigan, including current students who were working as interns inside the football program. Videos the scouts purportedly took while attending games were then uploaded to a computer drive "maintained and accessed by Stalions as well as several other Michigan assistants and coaches," according to the Post.
So, we've known for 10+ months that an outside investigative firm had hard evidence of Stalions's scheme, that scUM coaches were accessing Stalions's videos, and that such evidence had been turned over to the NCAA. A week later (November 2, 2023), in a phone conversation with scUM, NCAA investigators told scUM officials that they "knew and could prove" the extensive sign-stealing operation conducted by Stalions. The extent of the Sign Stealing scandal (including the costs), the participation of scUM coaches in the cheating, and the involvement of the outside investigative firm are very old news (despite the fact that scUM and its media symps are still portraying this scandal as a big old nothing burger with a heaping side of whataboutism).

It is interesting to note scUM's response to the initial charges: They suggested that the outside investigative firm was disreputable, stated that the NCAA investigation was a "publicity stunt", claimed that everybody steals signs (including scUM's opponents, making them the real victim, or whatever you want to call them), whined about "due process" and a "rush to judgment" (Santo Ono speaking there), and threatened to sue (but shockingly – cue Claude Rains – backed out of their TRO hearing at the last minute). It seems that scUM's "top men" originally thought that this whole investigation was based on Ohio State hiring Sam Spade to dig up dirt on scUM because the Buckeyes couldn't beat the Wolverines on the gridiron.

It also seems that this was still the semi-official position of scUM until the NOA and supporting evidence hit their desks (and the shit hit their fans) about a week ago. It looks like there has been a very loud wake up call received in The Whore and tunes have changed drastically (Warde Manuel: "If we do things that are against the rules, that we know are against the rules, we need to admit it and move forward and deal with it..... There’s a sense that you have a responsibility to adhere to rules we say we’re going to participate in."). Otherwise, radio silence from scUM, although their walnut-brained fanboys are still claiming "We didn't do anything wrong – probation and fines. And maybe no fines because we didn't do anything wrong." Good luck with that.

This isn't a witch hunt, a publicity stunt, or sour grapes. This isn't scUM doing what everyone else does but doing it better (Leaders and Best!!!). This is scUM blatantly and extensively cheating, and then covering up (destroying evidence, witness tampering, lying to investigators, not cooperating, systematic non-compliance and obstruction otherwise known as LOIC). The plunger is coming and I'm here for it.

It's bad. Worse than I even thought it was going to be, I thought they'd maybe at least be able to keep the ground and pound thing going somewhat. But not even that.

Warren is a lower tier MAC type QB and Orji at best is a very poor mans version of Devin Gardner. The OL is noticeably not as good as it's been and the WRs are just flat out bad, there's no excuse for a supposed upper level P5 teams WRs struggling at get any separation against a mid G5 secondary, the chances we see them significantly improve in that attribute this year is not likely.
Even their podcaster Diese or whatever his name is… is banking on 3-3 through six games.

He mentions it’ll take them too much time to gel on offense to weather Texas USC and Washington. However where he’s wrong is why is he expecting improvement? Their OL is shit, their QB situation is bad bad, but even worse is their WR skill.

They have zero talent at WR to take pressure off the running game. Their only hope is Loveland… but I’d imagine teams will start doubling him.

I wouldn’t pay any damned attention to Balas. That dude specifically has been way off on all of this.

You’re right. Their program was put on probation for 3 years basically because they didn’t cooperate. Their head coach was then suspended for a full year and given a 4 year show cause. All this for someone that’s far less severe than the in game scouting.

So how the fuck do you not put together that this situation has to be a far worse punishment? Like you mention, so what TCUN just gets more probation?

No, you’re getting it all taken away you ignorant fucks and I can’t wait to see them dismayed by how severe this’ll be. As PM from 11W says, they’re absolutely getting the wins and titles take away. That’s just he start of it.
