As I said before, Klatt's whole argument is complete undercut by his admission that there is such a thing as "illegal" sign stealing. Whatever threshold of advantage the illegal cheating gives a team is irrelevant. The fact that it is illegal, and especially where there is legal sign stealing allowed, satisfies the threshold standard.

Lines are drawn. We can argue about where they are drawn, I suppose. But, admitting there's a line, admitting it was crossed... well... are we finished here, Joel?

As for his other college football observations as color man for what I think is the best CFB crew, I think he's fine. He's just on a lark here... and I'm sure it has to do with who's writing his check and their relationship with the product being sold.

He was my favorite, but between this and his absurd stance on somehow getting targeting wrong every single time...... it's disappointing.

Mehe, Klatt is just a company man towing the line. scUM made Fox Sports a ton of money, and he/they aren't going to bite the hand. I'm sure the same would've been done for the Buckeyes had OSU been in the same position. Klatt has loved the Buckeyes more than most national media for a while. But he's towing the line for his paycheck, it is what it is. You shouldn't take any of these analysts serious. They will change their minds as much as the OH weather.

Especially when the landscape of TV/podcast revenue is always changing. I never expected CBS to show B1G games. But here we are. Just look at how Colorado is being ramped up in "excitement" because of the D-Bag coach. Clicks and views equal $$. Integrity has gone bye-bye.

- Registered Agents, Inc. is a non-starter in terms of a scandal. A registered agent in the state is needed and that company is one of them that is commonly used. You can use the RA address as the principal place of business in Wyoming, a big reason why companies choose Wyoming along with not having to disclose the true owners of the business.
- The RA can sign as an incorporator and that is common. Again, nothing there. And the RA can dissolve the company on behalf of the company.

100% this. I used RA when I created my s-corp for a lacrosse club about a dozen years ago. This is standard practice and is NOT a red flag.

Yeah, just look at how many bent over backwards to praise Deion last year, and some even this year, its laughable. If my dumbass can clearly see that the CU experiment will crash and burn, they have to genuinely know that too. But the hype equates to money for the network. Same with rating ND so high every year though many know that they are no closer to winning an NC now than they were 20+ years ago. I'm sure Klatt and Fox Sports were much happier that scUM won the NC than Washington, tbh, cheating or not

It's ironic, really, that there's years worth of gnashing of teeth on the ESPIN thread about bias (and plenty of that teeth gnashing is mine) for the SEC... Klatt may be a shill just like the rest of them, but he's our shill!

OTOH, I hate scUM a hell of a lot more than I give a shit about the B1G. So "our" shill may be a little too liberal usage of "our"

Almost all figures from the major networks have handled this poorly and are taking the "nothing to see here stance". They definitely got orders from the top not to talk about it and to only give positive light to Michigan. Nobody wants to admit that the sport was completely compromised for the last 3 seasons.

But Klatt takes the Michigan fluffing trying to paint them as the true victim to the highest heights.

Yeah, I think orders came down. For the first 2 or 3 days, Chris Childers was brutal towards tcun even mocking Ono. And then absolutely NOTHING. You can't tell me that Orwellian about face wasn't brought on by a call from some executive.

Oh well, when the sanctions come down, they won't be able to ignore it anymore.
