Nut Case……….

I don't think that most people up north of Ohio even understand what happened here. It isn't about stealing signs. They are right, everyone does it. It is about a payed member of Michigan's coaching staff (however low level you make him) attended games for the purpose of scouting and filming the side lines of coming opponents. Did it give them an unfair advantage? I am not entirely sure if was a big advantage. They have a good team. But obviously, someone or a group of someones thought that it was worth the risk to do it and keep doing it. So they broke the rule. Over 30 times over a couple years. It is a NCAA rule they broke. Everyone else didn't break a NCAA rule. That is what they are being investigated for and that is why they were hit by the league. If Harbaugh knew ( there is no evidence he did as of yet) then he lied to the NCAA and that is bad. It is what got Tressel kicked out of the game.
Bottom line is they are in trouble. Lots of trouble. They have proof this happened. The investigation is about connecting they dots to see if the whole program is dirty or just a rogue coach. It almost had to be more than one coach or someone would have asked how this low level assistent knew so much about signals in football. Also if he was alone, why doesn't the program hate him? Why doesn't the school go after him? Is it because they want him to remain loyal to them and not get angry and start talking to the wrong people?
