Why Can’t the NCAA Allegation Be Published?

So I guess this was Mork's "secret sauce", then? 

I wonder if it is in any way connected to Matt Weiss' firing. Maybe he was looking at other teams' scouting when he wasn't supposed to be? 

I don't think this is accurate. The B1G is notifying future opponents saying they have clear evidence (or whatever the wording is).

It's more than an allegation...it's just a matter of whether what they have warrants any type of reaction (too late).

I upvoted you at “neckbeard rat fucks”

written form, so it's libel

But there is no libel in publishing a true statement, even if it results in harm.  The truth is an absolute defense to a claim of slander and/ or libel.

All of this is to distract from the fact that MSU sucks and people are starting to really be concerned that UM might actually be very, very good.  So, rather than take the L that is coming, let's come up with other bullshit.

I’m starting to get the feeling that Harbaugh has some real enemies not only in the NCAA and Big Ten but also in the Michigan athletic department. The entire way this is being alleged and discussed throughout the media is highly suspect.  In the ESPN article it says that some of the allegations pre-date 2022.  Based on that wording, it is entirely possible that these allegations are not even from this year.  
 

Manuel’s statement was also very strange in light of the circumstances.  It’s highly unusual for somebody in that position to not at least be a little defensive.  Particularly when the NCAA and the Big Ten are essentially telling Michigan’s opponents they are doing something that has not been proven.  He should be irate.  
 

This is all really really shady.

Spot on. That's obviously what's happening. There's all kinds of gamesmanship that goes on.  Teams mix up their signals and do various things. Some of it is probably technically against the rules. You still have to block and catch the passes and make throws and tackle, etc. I doubt it changed the outcome of any game we've played this year.  This is just them getting us on a technicality because the NCAA doesn't like us and people don't like Harbaugh. They could do this to amy school if they wanted to. Leaking the allegations and not providing evidence first proves that their motive is to ratfuck us and give them every advantage with they feign it's a out integrity of the support. Of course every other school that's been dog walked by Michigan is gonna agree Michigan cheats.  It's sinister, but ingenious and very smart strategy by NCAA.

what evidence is there?   from what I've read, there are accusatory posts on rival teams message boards, and two unnamed teams who've said after the fact that they thought M had stolen their signals but offered no evidence claiming M had done so illegally.

this whole thing smells like nonsense to me.  should I see an ENT specialist?

Not saying that's the case here 

Well I'm saying that. Even if they have us dead to rights, someone was happy to leak nothing but an accusation and allow people to fill in the blanks however they want. If they end up getting evidence, that just ends up as a happy coincidence for them.

There's definitely streaks in wardes shorts 

If that lard assed Ward had a pair he’d make a statement as such. We don’t need the ncaa in any way shape or form. The sec made that clear and that’s precisely why they don’t even get sniffed. Ward cowers and we constantly get fucked with. Ward was typing his response while he was on the phone and apologizing. 

Exactly - this would have been leaked by someone far earlier if this had been going on since "before 2022".

Yeah, the fact we didn't get a bunch of info here feels intentional, seeing as the earlier investigation about the burger and visits were pretty flush with dates and details.  Now I get this is an investigation instead of the end result of it but accusations still usually have leaks with them.

My working idea is that this will be another minor technical violation that the NCAA will try to make big and everyone will sort of shrug at.

Weiss was investigated by university police for computer access crimes. The alleged sign stealing is being investigated by the NCAA for a rule violation.

I like your attitude. I hope that pounding comes in the form of 400 rushing yards with 100 attempts and blitzing Sharty for every one of their 30 plays. 

Good God people on here like to believe that the winningest team in NCAA history, which has been in the four-team playoffs two years in a row, is nonetheless the victim of an NCAA agenda.

I mean, that is kind of what happened with the NFL and the Patriots. Other teams got jealous and got the organization to target them. Deflategate being the prime example.

When was the last time the NCAA actually levied a penalty against the Michigan football team (other than the penalty we levied against ourselves, of course)? 

That's normally how it goes.  Teams self-sanction and the NCAA, most of the time, accepts it.

If we're innocent, nothing will come of it

Is this your first day on the planet?

Please tell me on what planet it is normal or ok for the NCAA to tell other teams about allegations against a team that haven't been investigated yet let alone proved? That part of it is absolutely unacceptable and the discussing player health and safety concerns with MSU after what has actually happened to UM players is the cherry on top of the absurd sundae.

I kind of agree with you.   Clearly some of those in power at the NCAA hate Harbaugh and that may be playing a role in this however Michigan football, especially where the program is at right now, is good for business.    For the NCAA money takes precedence over all else so a biased witch-hunt just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
