I think there is real risk of lawsuits from opposing players who were injured during any of these games.
Yep and the proper response was you have no authority to do that so see you in court
No, it’s not. There is real risk. It certainly impacts player safety when the opposing team knows your plays. Society has become extremely litigious and this is a huge opportunity for attorneys willing to go this route.
Good luck to them proving that the opposition knew the play and without that there wouldn't have been an injury. There's inherent risk involved. Slim to no chance.
I remember watching a story about the sanctions and how it was decided. As I recall from this story, we were going to get the death penalty but someone successfully advocated on our behalf to avoid it but I can't remember who they gave credit to. It may have been a holdout on the NCAA committee but not sure.
Not sure who but someone mentioned Hooker potentially having grounds for a lawsuit tied to his injury in the South Carolina game where Michigan provided the Cocks with the Vols’ signals.
This is the USA Today take from 2015. Some interesting tidbits that may be applicable to today's meeting with the President of Micheatum.
"Did Penn State really face the death penalty?"

If you think they can sue for that then you are right that we live in an EXTREMELY litigious society. Ambulance chasers wet dream.
Indeed.
What starters at any school are walk ons being paid through NIL to bypass scholarship limits? I've seen this mentioned a time or 3, but I fail to follow the logic of it. Who is doing this? I'd like to see examples.
I don't think it's happened yet but it will. You don't think alumni of Michigan (or any major program) will find a way to make that happen?
Teams are already struggling to retain depth players as is in the portal era. Now you think scholarship quality kids are going to accept walk on offers just to be paid by NIL?
Kids want to play, first and foremost. Getting paid is a perk of the gig now.
I don't think it is technically, but I'm not sure. I'm sure things are being done to the edge of legal, but I'm not well versed in it.
I would respectfully disagree in that if anyone knows the details after Harbaugh, it’s the Michigan AD and prez (or at least they should by now).
He doesn’t have to wait for the glacial ncaa process. He can summon the coaches to his office and cut through the BS in an hour.
Now, if he does that and insists nothing improper was done then, by all means, defend your coach. Given what we do know, I find that hard to believe (JMO). As Michigan has now apparently fired Connor Stalions, I think it’s fair to say some of these accusations do hold water.
Michigan will meet them in an expensive restaurant, keep them waiting, and leave them with the bill. Whining all the way out about that devastating slap in the wrist.
