Safe to assume this is included as well into the NCAA investigation currently going on with the Michigan Football program ? Sign stealing etc?and it isn't pretty

I am not sure but recall comments regarding hacking into opponents' databases. This is a very, very serious offense and is probably worse than the sign stealing unless some of the sign stealing came as a result of getting into competitors football information. And given the depth spelled out in the indictment, one has to believe that hacking into football DBs was in there. An indictment wouldn't care if it was football or not. Just another count.
Right now, they've released no connection between the football program and Weiss, specifically. That may come but right now I am not seeing anything other than allegations of Weiss' personal transgressions.
Thanks, and I'm reading it was mostly female athletes, so this is voyeurisms more than anything.
Well, we don't know. At least I don't. For example, I don't know how you can get private information on 150,000 student-athletes without accessing the university databases. It is possible that he like the girls but also had information on PSU and/or Ohio State players. We'll see but I am not ruling anything out, at this point.
Burn it down. They had to know. Everyone always knows.and it isn't pretty

But he is a Michigan man who attended the Harvard of the midwest so he's really an upstanding citizen. Right??
well, "sick" and "smart" and not mutually exclusive. But you have to be pretty dumb to do what he did, allegedly. He gave up a job making millions per year when he could have simply got an online subscription to dozens of sites for a few dollars.
Smart people do stupid things. Incredibly smart people do incredibly dumb things.
And arrogant enough to think they can get away with it.
Exactly--he's probably been getting away with stuff his entire life (maybe no on this level) and never ever thought he'd be caught
As I have said many times. The Hammer is coming for Michigan.and it isn't pretty

No and their arrogance made them believe they would never get caught but if they did they were to big and powerful for anyone to come against them. OOPS that light at the end of the tunnel for Michigan is the ignition of The Mother Of All Bombs.
I know you are joking but I have to wonder how somebody working on their own (supposedly) can get personal data due to hacking for 150,000 athletes. There simply isn't enough time in the day to hack 150,000 individuals. So this had to be done by hacking some kind of larger database like PSU or tOSU's systems. If that is the case, this may be the tip of the iceberg.
The reason matters....people are still so bitter about what happened here they can't think logically. What about this warrants the death penalty? If it was here you'd say it wasn't about football...accurately...like Sandusky.
Most of the time they will just give you the glass if you ask.
