Michigan finally getting what they deserve!

That’s fine. But given the process of appealing a suspension, they basically dropped that suspension knowing there was no way a TRO would even be a possibility in 18 hours

That probably had something to do with it. Michigan opened that can when they threatened the B1G

If keeping signs from opponents is that critical, then why allow anyone in the stands or along the sidelines other than immediate team players? And do background checks on fans sitting in the stands? Put a 1 mile no- trespassing zone around the practice field including ban on the Goodyear blimp and satellites .
I just think the role this plays in the outcome of a game does not rise to the level of attention it's getting nor the punishment that is going to cost Hairboughs his job

It's clear from your earlier post about TCU that you're not up to speed on this. Read up, then get back to us.

Start with the letter from the Big20 Commish. He explains it pretty well.

nope, stealing signs is something all teams try to do and everyone knows it. If you ain't stealing signs, you ain't trying. At any given game there are thousands of fans, some of them at the 50 yard line , all with the capabilities of stealing signs. Do we ban all fans from the stands ? All this clutching of pearls over something that cannot be prevented and that everyone tries to do is just silly

Your analogy is foolish. You're equating what would be amateurs (fans) in the stands to a school operating an entire program designed to advance scout scheduled and potential foes.

And the program is overseen by an assistant that communicates directly with the coordinators during game play.

Are you really equating that with, say, yourself trying to get Harbaughs attention about what you wrote down at some random game?

Dumb analogy.

They should have hired him to steal TCU's signals

They did. TCU swapped signals in the game. They knew Michigan was stealing signals at that point.

There’s a reason why this is still illegal in the rule book. Also a reason why this was punished as quickly as it was. IF it’s proven that he shared with another team influencing the playoffs he won’t coach in college again. Carolina is the team that could really drop the info if they want Beamer out with cause.

Looks like they got a win today.
