Anybody think the NCAA will do the "hat trick" of investigations for scUM's last football season?

NCAA investigation #1: Recruiting violations, i.e. Cheeseburger-gate

NCAA investigation #2: Sign stealing scheme.

Potential NCAA investigation #3: Assistant football coach Matt Weiss hacking into other schools computers. It is alleged that he hacked into Ohio State's "practice film" account. Regardless, even if he didn't; Penn State got screwed to the wall for a former assistant coach commiting a crime in the school's locker room/showers. Weiss is charged with committing a Federal crime while employed in scUM football program, on scUM premises, with scUM's computers, and undoubtedly with the knowledge of Harbaugh (however, he claims that he didn't know). Harbaugh's knowledge of Weiss's crime(s) is/are not required for a NCAA violation as under NCAA rules.

Under NCAA rules, a head coach is generally held responsible for the actions of their program, even if they claim they were unaware of rule violations. This concept is often referred to as the "responsible head coach" doctrine.

NCAA Division I Bylaw 11.1.1.1 states that a head coach is presumed responsible for the actions of all staff members who report to them, either directly or indirectly. If a violation occurs within the program, the coach is automatically assumed responsible unless they can demonstrate the following:
  • An atmosphere of compliance was promoted: This includes establishing clear expectations for following rules and emphasizing ethical conduct within the team.
  • The activities of their staff were monitored: The coach must show reasonable steps were taken to oversee staff actions to ensure adherence to NCAA rules.
The NCAA holds head coaches accountable for their program's overall compliance, making "plausible deniability" largely ineffective.

Screw Blue! - How we really feel about that school up north in Ann Arbor!

wtf is "ledged"?

I don't think the NCAA will get involved with the Weiss stuff so long as there is an active lawsuit or investigation from outside parties going on.

1. alleged - I have already caught/fixed that one.
2.
The trial date for Matthew Weiss, the former University of Michigan football offensive coordinator, is set for November 4, 2025. This date was established after he waived his right to a speedy trial, according to The Detroit News. The trial will be held before the Honorable Nancy Edmunds in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. A final pretrial conference is scheduled for October 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

Yeah, hopefully the case does go to trial (i.e. no plea bargain) and lots of incriminating evidence showing NCAA violations is presented during the trial, etc.

I remember getting hit with "gobshite" in a pub in the UK back when I was stationed there circa 2001 and thinking "my God, these brits operate at a very high level." That's fairly commonplace now, but in 2001 that was some hoverboard shit.

Trying to match insults with a Brit is like trying to run a marathon against a Kenyan. I will say that my folks (Jews) can bring the insult heat too, but the best stuff is Yiddish curse phrases more so than creative portmanteaus.
