They broke the rules in stunning fashion, man. Doesn't matter if it's a good rule or not. If this were one or two games with just Stalions scouting maybe they'd get probation, but this was a full blown conspiracy involving multiple people and payments.Of course he knew but it's a non-f'ing issue. It's legal! They went against the rule of in person, big whoop. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. I want to push the boundaries and win championships. This is a competitive sport, do what it takes.
Leave it to the B1G/NCAA to punish someone for going against something other levels of the sport have already easily solved. There is no reason Power 5 teams shouldn't have microphones in QB helmets. None. This is the dumbest thing ever people. College football can be the worst sometimes.
U of M is also in deep s#!t now because:
They flat out lied to the B1G...
Said they couldn't be punished by the B1G...
The University’s response did not deny that the impermissible scheme
occurred but argued that the Conference did not have the authority to enforce its own rules.
Tried to stonewall the B1G...
the Conference requested the University’s consent to
allow the Conference to obtain from the NCAA all documents and information that the NCAA
had made available to the University in connection with the investigation into the impermissible
scheme. The University initially refused to provide such consent, citing confidentiality
provisions in the NCAA’s bylaws. The University also asserted that “[h]istorically, the NCAA,
to our knowledge, has not permitted disclosure.” The Conference promptly obtained written
confirmation from the NCAA that it did not object to providing such documents and information
upon receiving the University’s consent. The University ultimately provided its consent after
receiving this written confirmation from the NCAA.
And then threatened the B1G...

Conference members engaging in impermissible in-person sign-stealing, and therefore urged the
Conference to “act cautiously”—essentially an argument that violations of the Sportsmanship
Rule should be overlooked if “everyone is doing it.”
