"Several coaching sources confirmed to CBS Sports that they can figure out an opponent's signs to signal in plays from game film without in-person scouting of future opponents. That is allowed under NCAA rules."

Too bad there was no court hearing for Michigan and the Big Ten.

It might have been hard for the Big Ten to defend Harbaugh's suspension if other Big Ten teams are likely doing the same thing except in other ways that are allowed under NCAA rules.

Michigan could still have gotten in trouble for breaking a rule--that's still an issue--but if the competitive impact was negligible, a late-season suspension of the head coach during an on-going NCAA investigation might have been viewed as excessive.

Lots of sources and articles about how "mad" opposing coaches are about Michigan...The level of anger has a direct relationship with the success Michigan has had over the last two+ seasons...Also, the level of anger is not grounds for an unprecedented overreach from the commish

Anyone watching this @UMichFootball scandal should be able to see the media’s manipulation of this with its recent stories out this morning. Lemme begin this soliloquy with understanding that anonymous sources have forever been part of journalism. How information is gathered is of no consequence to me, however context is also important. It’s clear @bigten coaches and most others are pissed over perceived competitive advantages @CoachJim4UM is alleged to have had this season. We get it. They’re baiting new Commissioner Tony Petitti to act on his own without Michigan having received a Notice of Allegation which starts a 90 day clock for the University to legally respond. This is called due process, but remember this isn’t a court of law, so if the Commissioner wishes to acquiesce its his jurisdiction. Now to context, in 2010 a mountain of evidence over what was then allegations of illegal payments made to Cam Newton had Auburn in a similar position. Then Commissioner The late great Mike Slive a former Judge was masterful in working thru and around the @NCAA and despite calls for Auburns Cam Newton to be ruled ineligible mattered not. This while not an issue of competitive advantage was a tawdry story that many within the @SEC were irate over, but history will show the Tigers were National Champions that year. Without Slive’s background and sincere due diligence that situation could have easily blown their chances. It was a different time, but @bigten Coaches need to understand Petitti doesn’t work for them! He serves at the pleasure of the Presidents of the BIG’s Institutions. The media can keep its NCAA back channeling of leaks alive thru November and effectively ignore the most enjoyable part of the CFB season and I suspect they will. It’s my opinion it won’t change a thing. Commissioners do need to use this as an example of how the further they get away from the NCAA the better, and the quicker they take control of governance of CFB the sooner the sports image and day to day operations will improve!
