Both shows are at Columbus for Penn State - Ohio State.

But they will probably talk about Michigan more than anything else.

I love all the Harbaugh/sign-stealing signs and all the jokes.  It properly trivializes this ridiculous issue.  It's a big joke and it's being treated that way.

Hmmm...  Seems like they took it seriously.  More seriously than it deserves.

 

And as Reece said - it's in the rule book, so you can't just say 'I don't like that, I'm not doing it'.  Except that UNC, Kansas, LSU, et all have said/done that exact same thing.

1. Win out.

2. Sue the ever living shit out of the NCAA and ESPN.

 

They are dragging the school through the mud and waiting for evidence on Stalions computer because they have nothing else.

He was pretty annoying in that segment. He and others are trying to shift attention to sending staffers to future opponents’ games being the issue, but unless I missed it has there been even a shred of evidence of that happening? Should be pretty easy to prove. It’s almost like Michigan was accused of something without evidence and now they’re trying to fill in evidence of actual wrongdoing after the fact, such a farce.

Reece getting texts from the NCAA about it in real time. He's just a shill for them.

The NCAA is way outside the bounds of propriety on this. And they're slandering and libeling and damaging reputations with impunity in a multibillion dollar industry. 

Jim and Michigan should sue for hundreds of millions.

^^^This

 

One of the things I find most bothersome is that Michigan has been dragged through the mud on this issue, and it can't even defend itself. The damage in the court of public opinion it going to be extensive. Even if found that they were not in violation of a rule, these accusations will stick with the program.

Reece actually said on air, "I just got a text six seconds ago from a source in the NCAA..."

It was about testing of helmet communications which is what they were talking about on air. It was obvious that the NCAA has colluded with him about what to say and was monitoring and advising him in real time. Stupid of him to admit it.

The whole thing is clearly illegal and harmful.
