When does “Purdue Coaches wore Apple Watches in clear violation of tech rules” get traction?

My guess is the vast network will talk about this next week if Pettiti goes forward with a suspension or hefty fine.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
Isaiah Hole said the Athletic had a potentially big story with some Intel and my first thought was it would be about Zdebski and McGrath.

B1G: How can we blame Michigan for this?
November 9th, 2023 at 8:00 PM ^
Probably when anybody starts caring about Purdue football

It doesn't.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
Never?
I don’t want Michigan hit with ticky-tack nonsense; why would I want more of it? Because Purdue?
We beat those guys. Badly. Don’t be petty or the NCAA just might offer you a job.

The B1G is so livid about these NCAA rules violations that they're planning to add 2 more games to Harbaugh's hypothetical suspension.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
never, they're purdue.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
Egregious! Worst scandal in B1G history. Good for at least 21 points a game. I'm amazed no opponents were injured because of this.

I'm pretty sure fitness trackers are an exception but might be wrong.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
I've noticed many coaches wearing Apple watches during games. Which leads me to suspect they're not actually illegal.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
When Purdue becomes relevant.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Nerds to be an indefinite suspension for Ryan Walters
November 9th, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
I'm sure Brett Bielema finds it "sickening". Although, by his appearance, he's never been sickened by anything in his life.
Unless he feeds a cold. Feeds a fever. Feeds a headache. Feeds a diarrhea. Feeds a bunion. Feeds a hernia...

I doubt Bert's watch includes a fitness app.
November 10th, 2023 at 2:17 AM ^
Only game JJ wears play calling wrist bands , was vs Illinois Maybe Bert should ask “ why “
November 9th, 2023 at 9:10 PM ^
IDK about Apple watches, but I predict that TP (his initials are oddly appropriate) will announce a one game suspension of Harbaugh at 4:59 on Friday, possibly making it too late for Michigan to file a complaint and motion for TRO.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
More fodder for the folder.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
I will be really disappointed if this is the kind of crap we have on these a-holes.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:52 PM ^
Purdue was just trying to sync up early dinner reservations… because the game was over after about 7 minutes of game time

1. There are also images of Sherrone Moore wearing his Apple Watch on the sidelines.
2. The NCAA approved a rule in 2016, which was pushed back a year, allowing the use of technology for the purposes of coaching in the press box and the locker room (but not the sidelines). It’s unclear whether the Apple Watch falls under “purposes of coaching” but it’s not explicitly forbidden in the press box in the case of the OC, but Moore and Walters seem to be in violation of the rule.
3. According to the NCAA, referring to sidelines: “wearing of any electronic signal devices is illegal except in certain circumstances. Those certain circumstances would be a medically prescribed hearing aid of the sound-amplifier type for hearing-impaired players or a device for transmission or reception of data specifically and only for purposes of health and safety.” As an Apple Watch has features designed to monitor the health of the person wearing it, it can be argued that an Apple Watch falls under this exception to the rule.
