Sources: Stalions bought 30 tickets over 3 yeara

I saw in an Athletic comment that someone mentioned Baylor also had a similar violation in the past, and that the penalty was minor. But that's all I've seen/heard with regard to penalties/previous violations of the rule.

There's no set punishment. But I fear the obvious choice would be vacated wins. Unless somehow, someway this little operation didn't result in a competitive advantage.

Also, a well-deserved show cause for Mr. Stallions and anyone else who knew/participated. After the NCAA is done, I hope the University destroys him. He very well may have single-handedly ruined the best three-year stretch in our modern history. 

What good does this guy falling on the sword do when the NCAA already thinks Harbaugh is a liar?

IIRC, the rulebook does not define a specific penalty for that.  Which could either be a really good thing (slap on the write and/or rules re-written/clarified), or a really bad thing (postseason ban on some future season), show cause for some coach(es).  

I don’t really think anybody knows.  I think the team just has to play the games without concern for what is going to happen.  It does not say there is any evidence related to this season at this point.  

1. The penalties are not stated

2. Really not much because teams, in theory, should be changing their signs every week. Which is why this whole thing is so infuriating. This clown is going to ruin our best three seasons for nothing more than personal hubris and ambition. After the NCAA gives him a show cause, I hope the University destroys him.

My reading (from Dan Wetzel's reporting) is there is no associated penalty:

The 2023 NCAA football rule book addresses sign stealing in a general way under a section titled Prohibited Field Equipment. It states that “any attempt to record, either through audio or video means, any signals given by an opposing player, coach or other team personnel is prohibited.” No corresponding penalty is listed.

Imagine keestering a bowling pin with no lube. Then make that thought 5 times worse. The damage is done to our reputation regardless of what comes out now. 

Which is interesting since the stadiums would almost certainly have cameras that capture the sidelines as well (beyond what the networks have at their own disposal).  It may not be the most optimal views to see opposing signals, but in aggregate it would be more than enough.

If the ncaa is going to throw a conniption fit about some random people in the stands pointing cell phones at the sidelines, just wait until they start using AI and public source video.

Seems like you'd need more than grainy surveillance video of people using cell phones during games to say they used electronic means to do in-person scouting.

I dunno about a very good case. May be he writes for a blog. May be he wanted to get pictures of the people on the sidelines. They have a case of innuendo. Unless they have the actual videos of what he had, there is no proof. It is a good case of assumptions, so far. Just saying...

Except for the part about "directing people to do in person scouting".  Unless they can find any of those people and get them to talk, it's circumstantial.  

Electronic means to do what?  They need to show proof that electronic data was captured by the people and sent to him (which they may have, we'll see).

Not really ..
