It's made the NY Times/The Athletic, which provides some additional information on the lawsuit

Ex-Michigan athletes suing school, Matt Weiss and others alleging former OC hacked personal accounts

The lawsuit says Michigan failed to monitor Weiss, who was fired in January 2023 after a report of suspicious computer activity.

www.nytimes.com

The University assigned and directed job duties to and upon Weiss,” the lawsuit states. “Those job duties and direction directly resulted in Weiss accessing private, personal, intimate images and information of Plaintiffs and others similar to them, all of which were private, and entrusted to be safeguarded by the university and its agents.”

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the two plaintiffs and seeks to cover “all persons whose personal information, images, data, social media, or videos were accessed by Weiss without authorization.” The suit said the exact number of potential class members is unknown but likely exceeds 1,000.

The former athletes are also suing Keffer Development Services, the third-party vendor responsible for maintaining athletes’ medical information on a database that Weiss allegedly hacked.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the two plaintiffs and seeks to cover “all persons whose personal information, images, data, social media or videos were accessed by Weiss without authorization.” The lawsuit alleges that the university violated its Title IX obligations through its failure to train and monitor Weiss and its failure to protect students’ personal information.

The plaintiffs asked the court for a judgment exceeding $100 million.

That is the fuse being lit.

This all has been an interesting exercise in nothingness thus far. If they are legally compelled to provide (truthful) information the rings of their hell have just been unlocked.

Or, as we used to say, pucker factor of 9.98 out of a possible 10. That sucker is really tight.

I think we get to talk about this shit for a long time. The Weiss shit will take longer to resolve than the Stallions bullshit. But it will extract a much greater price both in terms of actual cost but also reputation / PR. Me thinks we will have 2-3 years of this shit. The good news is that soon we will have enough real intel (released NOA) to shut up the assholes up north. Then it will glorious watching them eat their own ....

I wonder if TCUN appropriately reported Weiss when they became aware that he was accessing people’s PHI? I know the answer to this but this could get much larger for the University outside of these lawsuits. Illegal use and disclosure of PHI is definitely a no no for the University along with any staffers that knew and didn’t report.

Even Larry Ellison may be starting to sweat a bit now.

As awful as the Weiss story is, and it is, please do not let the NCAA lose focus on the cheating and accessing practice files!!!

Some dude on reddit dropping some interesting stuff. Obviously TIFWIW:

When asked what he could prove:


so there's that.

Somewhere there is a Penn State Cultist tying strings to pins in the wall that connect this cabal of content specialists to the pedo ring of rich elites that railroaded Joe Pa (with the help of the cowardly BOT and corrupt B1G officials of course).

If this gets too big, UM will probably be able to paint itself as just a victim that couldn't have done anything. ...

Just a reminder, this is who they REALLY are:

Oh yea "The university was exploited and taken advantage of by a sick lone wolf individual" type of statement will be incoming.

Boom.

Two female former student athletes from the University of Michigan have filed a federal lawsuit against the university and its former assistant football coach

"His ability to do so was aided by the University and the Regents both of whom permitted him to have access and use of electronic credentials that were means of viewing and downloading personal, private, and intimate images of Plaintiffs and others similar to them. The recklessness and negligence and misconduct of the Regents, the University, and Keffer in these respects enabled Weiss to target female college athletes to obtain their private and sensitive information without authorization, including but not limited to Plaintiffs."
