The Michigan/Sign Stealing Thread

The entire thing has been fabricated by crazies on a UM football message board lol 

The same people who are saying stuff like this

 

 

 

The Venmo payments, there timing with Michigan games including a “pause” on Michigans bye week are in fact real and not fabricated.  
 

The connections to Catapult are not fabricated.  
 

No one can tell what exactly this intricate network of
payments means. That's for an investigation to uncover. But
here is what is indisputably true based on the facts that are
in the public domain. A whistleblower has claimed OSU is
running a sign-stealing ring and has accessed other
Univeristy's Catapult footage. Two former OSU Video
Assistants (who worked with Catapult) are now working at
Catapult. Their replacement appears to have a lengthy and
questionable Venmo transaction history with a broad range
of individuals, every time using a fake payment caption
which has certain suggestive reference to a UM Coach's
favorite drink. And we know multiple times that these payments
were directly tied to the game of football, including on certain occasions
descriptions of a game or a football emoji.

Changed some words up so as not to plagiarize

Reasons Reasons Reasons

The vast network spreads far beyond Michigan and most football people should see it as the bs it is.  
 

This is your real reason for Michigan and Harbaugh being singled out. 
 

Bitterness, Biasses and rivalry’s aside we should all be behind this 100%

1. This has 0 to do with the sign stealing topic

2. It isn't going to go anywhere anyway

1. It has everything to do with the obsession with targeting Harbaugh for well over a year when schools like Ohio State, Bama and Georgia are doing much worse and everyone knows it. They’ve gone out of there way to target Harbaugh because he has been the single biggest advocate of player revenue sharing 

2.  This is one of many active lawsuits against the ncaa for anti trust issues and it is assuredly  going somewhere. Your uninformed.  It started with O’Bamnon , then NIL and this is the natural next step in righting this wrong .  The courts are overwhelmingly against the ncaa free labor era 
 

Kavanaugh's concurring opinion in the 9-0 ruling (when does that ever happen with the current Supreme Court?) was a blistering attack on the NCAA. Just a few excerpts....

But the harshest critique of the NCAA came from Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh's concurring opinion, which began by calling the ruling "an important and overdue course correction" before unleashing a series of blistering attacks on the longstanding NCAA model.

"Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate," Kavanaugh wrote. "And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different.

"The NCAA is not above the law."

Kavanaugh's opinion tears into the NCAA's assertion that amateurism is, as he wrote, "the defining feature of college sports." Such "innocuous labels," as Kavanaugh called them, "cannot disguise the reality: The NCAA’s business model would be flatly illegal in almost any other industry in America."

"All of the restaurants in a region cannot come together to cut cooks’ wages on the theory that 'customers prefer' to eat food from low-paid cooks. Law firms cannot conspire to cabin lawyers’ salaries in the name of providing legal services out of a 'love of the law.' Hospitals cannot agree to cap nurses’ income in order to create a 'purer' form of helping the sick. News organizations cannot join forces to curtail pay to reporters to preserve a 'tradition' of public-minded journalism. Movie studios cannot collude to slash benefits to camera crews to kindle a 'spirit of amateurism” in Hollywood.

"Those enormous sums of money flow to seemingly everyone except the student athletes. College presidents, athletic directors, coaches, conference commissioners, and NCAA executives take in six- and seven-figure salaries. Colleges build lavish new facilities. But the student athletes who generate the revenues, many of whom are African American and from lower-income backgrounds, end up with little or nothing."

I'm so confused. This has absolutely nothing to do with what is going on. This is diversion at its best

It more or less reminds me of a cult belonging to a particular political party.

You cheated for 3 years each game, you get 3 years of bowl bans and hereby surrender all 4-5* commits to OSU, Wisconsin and Bowling Green.

Doing something wrong and then immediately playing victim is far too common in today's society.

It's not even the cheating. It's the 'we got caught, but everyone does it, so we're the victims'.

[beekay414]

Maybe don't be so dumb about it to get caught doing it? Other teams obviously do it but they weren't so blatantly stupid about it.

Ohio State also cheated and in a much worse fashion why would they get anything?  Both political parties are cults fyi

OSU has been caught over and over again.  They’ve just been caught again.  Alabama has been caught. DJ Fluker ring a bell. Kansas basketball got caught.  UNC got caught.
