Drug dealers don't actually own anything. In today's drug and crime world, dealers are actually on the same level as a laborer in the building trade. But your point is correct, basically. I just happen to know about that side of life from both ends actually. The cash businesses are owned by the shot callers as they say, and the dealers these days are referred to as "the plug".

From all the reports, it seems this was an elaborate undertaking that went on for a few years. Coupled with the already active investigation on improper recruiting during Covid and reports on being uncooperative or untruthful about that, if you believe what’s been leaked, there’s a lot there to be sanctioned over.
You just inadvertently gave the NCAA and the BIG their lifeline. Turn all the data over to the IRS and let them prosecute the guy for tax evasion. Then they can say they did their job and move on. No harm no foul.
I read an article stating that under the NCAA, you have 90 days to respond to an investigation. However, the Big Ten has no time limits. If anyone wanted to it appears that Michigan could be sanctioned quickly.
Do you really expect that to happen? At BIG headquarters the suits are walking around mumbling hamana, hamana, hamana I wish the issue would please go away.
We both know what team runs this conference and it ain't either of ours.
Appreciated. Just clarifying for the rest of the readers.
No, but if it gets really dirty it could. Harbaugh got sanctioned at the beginning of this season and now a second cheating issue is arising in quick succession. The point is that Michigan is not completely in the clear for this season.
Who other than a couple of Michigan trolls are claiming they’re in the clear? I think they’re dirty as hell. But getting some gutless administrators to actually take action before the end of this season or the next ice age is another matter. If I’m wrong I’ll be the first to apologize.
This one was. Point freaking blank. Frankly I believe in any other conference there would have been an emergency meeting at LEAST by now.
To be accurate, he was ’sanctioned’ by the school and not the NCAA or the B2G. It was a voluntary act meant to get three game suspension done with three OOC patsies. Therefore , hoping that he would only get one or two more next year and those would be OOC pasties. It was another arrogant attempt to bypass the rules and the system.
Now could either governing body decide to rule now and dish out some penalties? Possibly. I would think it quite rare to do so in season. But in light of the new accusations and the overwhelming evidence perhaps they will. And after the arrogant flaunting of the rules with that three game joke they should be angry enough to do so.
But I ain’t a’holding my breathe.
Who says they haven't had meetings? They already warned future conference opponents about it. I'm sure there was a meeting.
I’ve been in meetings, but just saw this - ooooff

Michigan’s Connor Stalions Texted That He ‘Stole Opponent Signals’ From TV—and Had a Vision for the Wolverines — Sports Illustrated
In a 2021 exchange, he boasted of sign-stealing and close relations with the Wolverines’ ‘whole staff.’
Also I would argue that the gold pants/tattoo thing, while against the rules, didn't really directly impact the play on the field. The tattoos didn't allow the players to run faster or anything...
Knowing your opponents signs *before the game even starts* is a huge advantage and directly affects competitive integrity. Because of that, quick action seems warranted.
It was a voluntary act in the same sense that someone would give a robber money with a gun pointed at their head.
No, it was an arrogant attempt at making sure he wasn’t suspended for any league games.

The article says he purchased tickets for 12 of the other 13 stadiums in the league.
I want to know the one school that they believed they could beat without cheating. 😂

On the bright side, Connor serves up some solid advice to salespeople.
Referencing how to get a coache’s attention, he allegedly said in his text to a friend, “You can’t ask them what they need. You have to tell them what they need. But it can’t be up for interpretation. It has to be very straightforward, unique, and useful. If it’s not one of those 3 things, it’s pointless.”
Smart guy.

I don't find your anecdotes amusing. They cheated. It's beyond the pale. It's a big deal. And it is not funny.
They need suspended immediately and the lack of action is telling.
The interesting part to me is how the other coaches are trying to disconnect their association with him. He helped sort papers? Setup interviews? All the while he's telling people he's a big part of all of this and that.
He sounds like one of our posters here spouting off "we lead the Big 10 in rushing" a dozen times only to disappear after a loss.
Kinda hard to disconnect from a guy who is literally side by side with both coordinators during a game clearly stealing signs and relaying them on literally every play.
Do not respond to the Michigan troll west Coast 24 or the other troll Lando the fake psu grad.
I have literally found 8 NEW information articles on this in the past 2 days. ESPN has three of them on their headline scroll. Rich Eisen and his fellow apologists are looking very amateurish, frankly.
Also interesting to me is other coaches saying they had an idea stealing signs was happening so they changed things up so that their plays wouldn’t be known.
Then insinuate that because of sign stealing they lost the game? There’s a ton of cover your asses to go around right now. Put earpieces in the helmets already. They do it in high school and NFL but not college. 🤷♂️
Basically, it is the same as a plea bargain. Michigan proposed its own penalty as it is allowed to do under The Big ten rules and the Big 10 accepted it. See nothing wrong with the plea bargain per se. I do see something wrong with the cheating that led to the suspension as well as the current cheating episode.
Except this goes to the top. This is like arresting the driver of the getaway car and just letting the other 7 guys who robbed the bank go. Don't fade on me now buckeye fan, and make excuses for your best buddy who you hate only for 1 game a year. You claim you hate Michigan, I still have not seen it
I read that the school in question (the 13th school) doesn't have the ability to track names in third party apps. So likely he did buy tickets there too, we just don't have a record of it.
I'm ok with that. I don't freak out over grammar correction.
Now, Ohio State fans claiming they hate Michigan but rooting for them in all other games, or being passive aggressive apologists about this cheating scandal, well THAT pisses me off.

SIAP: I noticed that PSU players had their plays on wristbands this weekend. First time I've noticed that.
