Helmet Comms for non-CFP Bowl Games Approved

mmmm nachos! 

Maybe Silver Shamrock makes them??

Well some Sonner Ctalions might crack the encryption (I presume there's encryption) but it'll probably be legal because apparently the B1G and NCAA aren't caught up to the effin' Industrial Revolution on these matters.

ya. not like there's decades of evidence from the nfl that they can analyze

There should be no impact on the players.  I do have concerns about the impact on tinfoil hat wearing coaches.  

Possible effect?  Well, for one, we won't need sign-stealers so Connor Stallions will be out of a job...oh, wait...

Hello, is this Signals Stalions Sign Stealers Inc.? 

Yes I would like to buy a used vacuum and perhaps clean up after myself at your Air BnB. 

It’s hard to hear you because you are in a car. Did you just say I could meet Blake Corum at your NIL event in Wyoming?  

That actually seems perfect. Someone thinking outside the box. 

How long before the tin foil hat wearing folks in Columbus and East Lansing start complaining that Michigan ordered the helmet communications so we know the frequency that's used and can still listen in?

Personally I think that Ohio booster who hired the PI firm should pay for the transition.

Freaking drama queen that one... 🙄

That the NCAA is already doing this supports my contention that regardless of what happens to Michigan or Harbaugh, the NCAA will within a year or two quietly rescind the 1994 rule against in-person scouting.

Just two years ago the NCAA itself actively considered rescinding the rule, as it concluded that in-person scouting conferred "minimal competitive advantage" relative to the cost of trying to enforce it.

Given that the rule was initially put into place not because of some high-minded moral or ethical imperative about the sanctity of college football but as a cost-saving rule for those programs that didn't want to spend the money on hiring professional video people, it doesn't make any sense for the rule to last much longer now that the NCAA is beginning to approve helmet communications that make sign-stealing largely irrelevant.

YOU get a radio and YOU get a radio and YOU get....

I'm down with that if it makes this whole thing calm down.

But next month, I'm still leakin' some shit about Ohio.

NCAA needs to validate that the technology the NFL has been successfully using for 29 years still works I guess.

No, the NCAA needs to first figure out how to profit from the technology

That suggestion would have been good three weeks ago. Now it's silly considering the material damage done to Michigan's (and Harbaugh's) brand and legal costs.

Yes.  Do this and then don't let Michigan use them the first year.  

Give everyone back the huge disadvantage they have been living with.  

I like it but what does OSU get fined for sharing stolen signs with Purdue and worse an out of conference foe?

time to reinvest in that radio shack stock

I think we should share the cost with OSU, Rutger, and Purdue, just for starters...

More plausible, Michigan's opponents would be allowed to use them.

It did, it clearly said CFP teams will not be eligible to use it.

1. The NFL has been using this technology since 1994 

2. There is a metric shit-ton more money involved in the NFL than any random college game so if these communications were easily hackable my guess is somebody would've successfully done it in the past 29 years.

that's the ncaa. ask rich rod and mitch mcgary
