An excerpt of LJB's timeline:

08/12/2023: Negotiations between the NCAA and Michigan regarding punishment for Jim Harbaugh over his Level I infraction are terminated after the NCAA rejects a proposed 4-game suspension for Harbaugh.

Two months later, this breaks...

10/17/2023: An "outside investigative firm" (presumably U.S. Integrity) notifies the NCAA of a potential prohibited sign-stealing In person scouting and electronic capture & recording scheme conducted by members of the Michigan football staff. The scheme allegedly involves Connor Stalions (and persons hired by him) attending opponents' games and filming their signs from coaches to players.

Eight Months after negotiations broke down:

04/16/2024: In a press release, The NCAA announces that Michigan has admitted to recruiting violations related to Burgergate...
As a result, Michigan received three years of probation, recruiting restrictions, and a fine consistent with a Level I infraction, and five former staff members received one-year show cause orders consistent with Level II infractions.
Former head coach Jim Harbaugh refused to cooperate with the investigation, and the NCAA referred his case to the Committee on Infractions

Three months later, but Nine Months after this came to light (babies gestate faster):

07/25/2024: ... the NCAA delivers a draft Notice of Allegations (NOA) to Michigan regarding the Sign Stealing In person scouting and electronic capture & recording scandal. The same draft NOA was also delivered to Central Michigan for its role in the scandal, namely allowing a Michigan football staffer (Connor Stalions) to be on the Chippewas' sideline for their September 1st game against Michigan State, where he was apparently filming Spartan play call signals using his special spy sunglasses (see above).

Less than two weeks later (but less than a week short of a year after negotiations broke down):

08/07/2024: The never-lying, never-cheating, never-stealing Jim Harbaugh receives from the NCAA a one-year suspension from coaching college football and a four-year show cause order as punishment for his Level I failure to cooperate violation in the Burgergate scandal. According to the NCAA press release, Harbaugh displayed "intentional disregard for NCAA legislation" and engaged in "unethical conduct":

In the following week, scUM announced-then-un-announced that Harbaugh would be honorary Captain at the season opener.

Seven months later, here we are.

They dragged burger-gate out until they had just received their NOA about sign-gate.
Now they've dragged sign-gate out until the FBI has completed their investigation into voyeur-gate, or at least enough to charge him, meaning whatever info is there is now fair game.

They have actually helped the NCAA time things such that they go from NOA to punishment for their previous crimes in practically the same news-cycle... now they have timed their next Notice of Inquiry to line up with the penalty (or at least COI) phase of sign-gate.

Are they a multiple-multiple offender now? Offender cubed? Offender! (factorial?)

Live look-in on their preparations for said COI

"A university employee was able to install unauthorized encryption services onto their university-issued device and use to break into the training accounts of other athletic directors while on a university network. For 3 years."

Having worked for several years in a Higher Ed IT Dept, this definitely caught my eye. I wasn't in IT security but - what kind of security does scUM have set up, that allowed this to happen, then go unnoticed for so long? Universities with Medical Centers deal with both HIPAA and FERPA data. You'd think their devices are heavily locked down. IT is surely scrambling. I wonder how many, and what variety of heads will roll when this is all over. I just wish Jimmy was still there to get his full comeuppance.

This didn't occur to me when it happened, because Harbaugh has been out of college football. But a one-year suspension - that's huge. How many did Tressel get? 5-game suspension? I know Ohio State tried to get away with a 2-game suspension, but the NCAA was going to increase that. But I don't think he was looking at a full-year suspension. And Ohio State did the worst thing anyone can ever do in college sports, according to the cheaters. Except, of course, their own Fab 5 did pretty much the same crime. But they were somehow victims.
To put that into additional perspective, Sean Payton was suspended for 1 year when he allowed (maybe managed) his team to have a bounty system, attempting to injure opposing players. So Burgergate was equal to purposely injuring players. I'm pretty sure that Burgergate was not simply about burgers.
Sorry - back on track about the real crimes they committed. Yeah - the one-year suspension, which is worse than what Tressel got, was just the appetizer to the meal.

This is salacious enough to blow up in the media. Clearly there was an effort by their staff to spy on other programs. Weiss didn’t hack for the nudes, the nudes were something he stumble on while doing opponent “research.”

This plus the sign stealing and the fact that the university clearly knew by virtue of the “master spreadsheet” screams LOIC.

The sex angle could blow it up and if so the punishment will be severe.

Some people would pay extra for that.

There's a lot of great things about the creeping, peeping perv angle. Perhaps the greatest is that this is exactly the kind of dirty, salacious sex scandal that will draw in the the regular non-sports press. And that, my friends, is something that will be absolutely knee-capping to the most image and p.r. obsessed university in the world.

And for those who care, I got my drink bought for me after the match yesterday, which means I lost. Did better than I thought I would have though. 11-7, 6-11, 12-14.

Squash is for ice-dancers, why not racquetball?
