The little rumors about Harbaugh to the NFL and OSU's Ryan Day listening to NFL head coaching opportunities isn't a good look. Could be true, and could be false.
But it is out there.
Me thinks this only happens when one party squeals to the bosses during bad times and failing to deal with adversity. I.E., hiring PI's and running info to ESPN/Big Ten and low-hanging-fruit (podcasters, radio shows, fan bases).
If a top-dollar booster thought he could purchase seedy intel on Michigan, he didn't think it through. Even though he got Harbaugh suspended twice during the year. 4 games in the beginning of the year. And again, during the last few games of the season (including against OSU).
No matter how much you dislike your co-worker/colleagues (Fellow Big Ten Coaches/Teachers, Techies).... this was a poor decision to make stuff public. With private Investigators doing the dirty work from your brainstorming thoughts in the basement.
I hope Harbough & Day stay. It's better for the Big Ten.
I'm not saying there wasn't some sign stealing or lip reading going on. Because many teams seek advantages.
But I do think the whole media mess against Michigan points towards Ohio State and their rich deviants. It felt like that since Day 1 (Ryan Day & boosters).
