Jeff Lesson 97.1 Cites Source: Michigan Can Prove NINE Other B1G Schools Sent Analysts To Record Games
Didn't see this posted this am.
Per subject line, Michigan says they have the (NEW) receipts and are willing to make ugly a hell of a lot uglier. Might be the reason for all the delays...

As my dad taught me forever ago, never pull a gun unless it's loaded and you're willing to use it.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:42 AM ^
Interesting. Lesson claims his source is “very close” to the situation..”better than connected”. Also says Harbaugh’s contract will be signed the week of Ohio State and will be highest paid coach in Big Ten.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:45 AM ^
Source also believes no punishment this week, maybe none next week. Believes Big Ten will then say they are waiting on NCAA…
November 10th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
Source believes Big Ten will cite “new information coming to light” (including that mentioned by OP) as reason to defer to NCAA.
Sounds to me like Pettiti is trying to find a way to retreat and not look like a total ass.
November 10th, 2023 at 11:13 AM ^
This is a lot of shit from his source. Now I'm suspicious.
Claims no penalty this week, so we'll at least find out soon whether it's valid.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:48 AM ^
Comments noted by OP about UM having info on 9 other teams sending people to games starts at 7 min mark.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
the question is who does Lesson golf with at U of M???
November 10th, 2023 at 12:43 PM ^
His source is Jim Harbaugh.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:42 AM ^
Is the NonIntercourse Rule still on the books? 'Cause when we go Independent (again), I'd still like to play Minny.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:46 AM ^
I'd like to intercourse the whole conference...
November 10th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
And, if Michigan goes independent, I absolutely INSIST that we schedule six... no seven, games against Cornell.
November 10th, 2023 at 11:07 AM ^
Nonintercourse rule? Sounds kind of restrictive...
November 10th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
I am vehemently opposed to any rule preventing intercourse
November 10th, 2023 at 10:42 AM ^
I'm not a BIG 10 fan or CFB fan... I'm a Michigan football fan.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
How reliable is Lesson? I don't ask that as rhetorical question. I just don't know who he is.
November 10th, 2023 at 11:23 AM ^
He's a smart guy. Went to college for years, yielding the popular expression, "Lesson learned." And now you know...the REST of the story. Good day!
November 10th, 2023 at 11:41 AM ^
Sheesh this gem is buried. Wonderful callback to Paul Harvey.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
Leak it today and also announce the intention of leaving the Big ten at the end of the contract while exploring all options for early termination.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:45 AM ^
I love this approach. If the Big Ten and the NCAA ignore all of this it only serves to expose their rank hypocrisy and agenda. Force them to own it and be fair across the board, or show everyone what frauds they are. They asked for this, and now they've got it.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:45 AM ^
Good! These teams came after Michigan by going directly to the head of the python and asking him to squeeze the life out of Michigan, now it's Michigan's turn to eat its way out of the python's body and go after these teams.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:52 AM ^
That's... graphic. A python should know better than to try and swallow a whole wolverine.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:46 AM ^
How do you shoot the devil in the back??? What if you miss ???
November 10th, 2023 at 11:29 AM ^
With a baseball bat.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:47 AM ^
Man I hope we destroy psu tmrw
November 10th, 2023 at 10:48 AM ^
Michigan about to drop their MOAB= MICHIGAN OF ALL BOMBS
November 10th, 2023 at 10:52 AM ^
+1,000
November 10th, 2023 at 10:48 AM ^
If true, it should be in the introduction of the TRO.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
It should be in the introduction of Harbaugh's speech when he accepts the Big Ten trophy.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:49 AM ^
I don't live in Detroit area. Is Jeff Lesson credible? No shortage of "great sources" in this saga.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:49 AM ^
No penalty this week. Probably none next week. Then they will say we're waiting for the NCAA investigation. And as it stands now maaaybe some kind of reprimand, maybe a fine. Originally they were negotiating a few days ago. B1G wanted a three game suspension for Jimmy. Michigan told them to go where. Two games, they gave them the same answer. Then the University of Michigan came up with some very important data that got the attention of the young commissioner....he was given information...he was told by the Michigan people he was talking to that the University of Michigan has data on 9 other big ten teams that sent people to games. That this would get really ugly.
Dunno these dudes or their source but that's the money quote.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:49 AM ^
this is what happens when someone says the quiet words out loud and now everyone is about to get burned...
November 10th, 2023 at 10:50 AM ^
Who knows if this is true, but if it is OOOO MAN.
Just remember B1G, you asked for this, the blood is on your hands.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:50 AM ^
Holy ish if true!
November 10th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
What did our letter say?
"Moreover, the Conference should act cautiously when setting precedent given the reality that in-person scouting, collusion among opponents, and other questionable practices may well be far more prevalent than believed."
Don't act like we never told you!
November 10th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
Excellent!
November 10th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the fanboys!
November 10th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
9 times?
November 10th, 2023 at 12:01 PM ^
This is some high level referencing right here!
November 10th, 2023 at 12:25 PM ^
Wasn't sure how many people would get it but it's the first thing that popped in my head!
November 10th, 2023 at 10:52 AM ^
FREEDOM!
Go Blue!
November 10th, 2023 at 10:52 AM ^
I almost didn't watch because Riger's face and voice are so jarring. How is this guy on radio?
November 10th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
Well it sounds like he has the face for it.
November 10th, 2023 at 10:52 AM ^
All I need are some pearls to clutch
November 10th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
Bring it on Pettiti!
November 10th, 2023 at 10:56 AM ^
Pettiti means "frightened, shriveled little penis" in Sicilian.
It means that in English too.

November 10th, 2023 at 11:37 AM ^
Heavens I hate to be pedantic but this is a very rare opportunity for me to use my Sicilian background and learnings from my Italian teacher based in Catania, Sicily. He says “Pedditi” is a way of saying va fanculo (go f yourself).
do you have Sicilian roots, my brother?
November 10th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
Given how this whole thing has gone, wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this is true. No shock if we learn that some of the same shrieking violets during this saga went even further and directly knew (and instructed) that analysts were doing this, which of course there is no evidence of for our staff. Hope the team has been able to insulate themselves from this a best as possible, beat PSU tomorrow!!
