The Marquette study is a long one but it’s a doozy for all the naive never played football before crowd.
 

It’s no shock there’s a major disconnect between what football people are saying  and talking heads/ click baiters are reporting

The only issue I have is any punishment before investigation done. Expedite the investigation. Get the punishment. But punishing before investigation done is crazy. 

The only alternative is you offer a deal to the university in exchange for burning the coaching staff by cooperating.

I don't think that's what fans want though, so the first priority has to be restoring the appearance of competitive integrity. That means teams need an alternative to signs ASAP, whether that's a helmet with a mic in it or something else. Once we know the games are fair again, then the investigation can take it's time.

Quotes Maurice Clarett, a dude bank rolled by the Mafia overseas. Yeah, seems legit.

Quotes a Maize N Brew handle about something that Urban Meyer, convenient dirtbag a few pages ago about Zach Smith, now reputable source and Michigan ally.

BRB going to go cherry pick a bro bible metric and use it as legitimate as opposed to being a “sheep”.

This is just so dumb. You said you were coming in to play devils advocate. You did that. If you think a guy attending and videotaping several games of opponents for later in the season, and this coming to a stop now means that there was no competitive advantage for the stretch of the season, I’m not sure what to tell you. Obviously, the past couple season are going to be judged as part of this investigation whenever it’s done but for the sake of the integrity of 2023 the toothpaste can’t go back in the tube. Really the only way is to allow microphone or something. Other teams shouldn’t have to jump through all these hurdles by switching up an entire play system to get around the fact that Michigan already cheated and gained an advantage.

Point is this just isn’t as big of a deal as you want it to be. Sign stealing happens and everyone in the football world already knows it. People acting like it isn’t are publicly outing themselves as ignorant as to how major college football works.  Your exposing yourselves no matter how many jokes you make.  The very in-depth Marquette article from 2022 basically concludes that not only does every one sign steal but the ncaa essentially approves of it. It flat says for a major program to not be in gaging is malpractice at this point.  
 

But you keep falling for the Ryan Day to Pete Thamel strategic media drip telling yourself you know more about football than football people
