"Michigan State initially warned the Big Ten it might consider not playing Saturday’s game out of concern for health and safety for its players"

Scouting other teams is ethical and advisable.

Its like timing a snap count.  

Bill Belichick does this stuff he’s called a genius

4. A highly professional staff, with veteran and seasoned players,who are recruited for intelligence with more emphasis than in other programs, figure stuff out. And opponents, who are getting blown out. Anyway, got butt hurt and were sore losers— who found a more than willing accomplice in the NCAA.

Consider that a 6-year guy, like many of our players are, will have spent a quarter of his life in Michigan football and as a student at the University of Michigan. We definitely are not pulling a Hans Niemann, anal beads in professional chess, level of prescience or knowledge. There's absolutely nothing in the on-field product to suggest that this is the case. 

The cost of being better than everyone else, and especially doing that while doing things the right way and in a different way than everybody else, is becoming a target of butt-sore losers

they don't play like a team that "knows what's coming"

If we're stealing signs, we must have to forgot to tell Keon Sabb to watch for the double pass against Indiana lol

I'm the most "the rules are the rules" guy you'll ever find, but I agree -- there is zero reason to believe that Michigan has broken the rules.  If Michigan is sending a staffer to games to do in-person scouting, that's cheating; but, if that's the case, they're pretty bad at it.  Brian and Seth's RPS scores should be off the charts if they actually knew what play was coming each time.

Furthermore, if the opponents knew that Michigan steals signs... it really shouldn't have been difficult to say "if I signal in a sweep right, run a counter to the left; if I signal in a dive, run a play-action."  At some point, if you know the enemy has broken your code, you start to feed misinformation.

I suspect this is the ultimate nothingburger.

And this is all speculation but I've seen rumors that it was Schiano and Day who brought up those complaints (with Day the claim is that they think they say someone on the sidelines of an OSU game), which then feels even more like former OSU guys who don't like losing and won't deal with it like adults.

Considering the recipients, I would opt for the direct approach:

It would seem that if the evidence is that good they would just cite the evidence.

But ncaa doesn’t control the playoffs, so we have that going for us. 

If there is evidence that Harbaugh or one of the coaches approved someone going to a game and recoding it or whatever, I am OK with screwing up the season. It is what it is. At least it is true. I can live with that. If it is just a rumor and they screw us over without evidence, then I would be pissed for a long time. 

Did I miss the news the rest of the season was cancelled? 

Yeah Michigan definitely out manuevered them with the self impossed 3 game suspension. They are probably salty about that.

I need this shirt.

And why would Michigan need a vast network to beat any of the teams played to date?

Checking in as a fellow member of the "vast network" who will be behind enemy lines on Saturday. Go Blue!

Would fans going to the game all please bring binoculars and a hand held radio and occasionally talk into them after staring at play calls just to increase the paranoia factor?

Pretty please???
