    This is very similar to the Astros, IMO. "Everybody does it" gets you a little wiggle room, but it isn't a situation of "they didn't change their signs and we figured it out". "Everybody" didn't get caught flagrantly breaking a rule.

    They latched on to it, had success with it, and were not discreet to the point of arrogance, just like the Astros. Having spent many years in a dugout attempting to steal signs while preventing my signs from being stolen, I saw body language and reactions with the 2017 Astros that told me something was going on. You get a guy set up, throw a perfect pitch, and it gets hammered off the wall, or over it. See it once, you shake your head. See it twice, you start looking and listening, really hard.

    Jimbo Khakis crossed the line...combined with his other shit, he gone...

    Rumor is Courtney caught wind and decided it was time to find a coach with good old fashioned values. An honest, lunch pail type guy.

    If only political reporters were as dogged as college football writers. Regardless of your persuasion in politics its striking at how fast and deep people are digging into this. They have photos of the guy going back years

    Heh. Good point. The era of Woodward and Bernstein is over. But that’s true of a lot of things this day and age. Our nation’s best and brightest could’ve probably gotten us? to Mars by now but they were too busy with cryptocurrency and developing some useless app for our smartphones. (I know, take it to the Tug.)

    In the age of social media and camera phones (which is where a lot of the evidence against this Michigan guy came from) I really don’t know how anyone can expect to get away with anything.

    …what in your mind should be enforced in college athletics?

    Outside of mgoblog, who thinks what Michigan did isn’t a big deal/won’t be enforced?
    Me
    At minimum they’re going to lose their coach over this
    They might or he might bail. That would be dumb for Michigan to get rid of him


    Too many college football writers hate college football. That goes back decades

    Hi Art Theil!

    He’s going to bail is what I was alluding to. Same result either way
    That's my opinion also. He'll coach through the end of the year and take the Bears job or something. That might've happened before all of this too.

    These kinds of stories always end up getting worse as time goes on.
    They're sign sign-stealing cheaters. I'm bringing a trash can and banging the shit out of it any time the Dawgs play them in the future. I might be the first person to bring a small metal trash can as my carry-on when I go to ann Arbor.

    Fucking refs shaving points. Definitely that pac-12 crew last weekend was betting the under on the points for the game.

    I know you’re being sarcastic but I’m pretty sure you can purchase a metal trash can in Ann Arbor or really anywhere in Michigan.
    Thanks for talking me off the edge. All I saw was purple.

    I prefer under the table illusion of purity but it is what it is

    Even @GrandpaSankey can see the purity has been fucked out of this one a long time ago.
    I'm not sure it was ever there, but at least 15 or 20 years ago there were consequences. Call me a square, but there ought to be rules with some teeth. Otherwise it's just a corporate free for all with the SEC (up until this year maybe) just cheating and buying their way to the top. Hell, even ESPN cheats for them. It's one reason I've gradually tuned out anything but the Pac 12. The same thing happened with CBB around 2010 but for different reasons. We have the ridiculous situation of West Coast schools now being in Midwest and East Coast conferences. That's not college athletics. I don't get why people are giddy about it.
