Isaiah Hole: Ryan Day has "No Known Connection" but there are links
I know this was repeated in other conversations and threads but there is more coming that will be some known connections with Ryan Day...
Other Notes:
Steward Mandel is slowly moving away from the mob side....
No ESPN reporting...
More to come...
November 7th, 2023 at 6:06 PM ^
We got some names ... More to come..
[Update 11/7/2023 6:21pm ET] These should be out but these are two names from the youtube video:
Brent Zdebski - Ohio State (with Knowles at Oklahoma State)
Jordan Huxtable - Rutgers
Funny, I did some quick googling... Brent was accused as well.. But nothing happened to him.. Shouldn't he be suspended with all the accusation? Funny how Ohio homers can't see their own plank on their head while crying the chaff in other's eyes...

This Bret Zdebski for those who hVe forgotten:
Within hours of this stuff hitting the internet 2 weeks ago he made his profile private.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:21 PM ^
He has also retained counsel in the KC area (as I posted a few weeks back). Interesting timing.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:44 PM ^
It would be good to get reporters to start tweeting the pics of zdebski next to knowles like they were doing of stallions
November 7th, 2023 at 7:47 PM ^
I used Venmo! Here's my pic!
November 7th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
How deep does this Hole go...
I'll show myself out
November 7th, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
all the way... Ill leave too
November 7th, 2023 at 6:33 PM ^
B**ls deep.
I will also see myself out.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
November 7th, 2023 at 6:49 PM ^
To the back of the teeth!
Ope! I’ll just scootch on by you and show myself out.
November 8th, 2023 at 9:37 AM ^
"Ope" Cousin Larry definitely lives in the Midwest!
November 7th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
Ryan Day has no known connections but has connections? Can you translate that?
November 7th, 2023 at 6:08 PM ^
There is no known connection at this time that NCAA is aware of.. But Isaiah Hole' source that in the coming time that it will be revealed with the connection to Day...
November 7th, 2023 at 6:08 PM ^
The point, as I take it, is that the NCAA doesn't yet know of any connections. Which doesn't mean that none exist
November 7th, 2023 at 6:14 PM ^
Exactly This!!!
November 7th, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
My read is indirect connection- Intermediaries/layers between Day and PI
November 7th, 2023 at 6:26 PM ^
if it really is connected to his brother's PI activities (who knows what is true in this circus) I don't think you really need a ruler to draw that line....
November 7th, 2023 at 6:39 PM ^
I think it means he was aware but not fully aware.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:57 PM ^
I think it means Ryan Day is a lying sack of shit
November 7th, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
To be fair, that was also the correct conclusion to draw when Hoke was aware, but not fully aware.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:46 PM ^
Balas said on Jamie Morris show on WTKA this afternoon that the reason there is “no known connection” is because the NCAA has not actually looked into yet. Crazy but not unbelievable if true.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:22 PM ^
Top notch organization if that’s true. How do you confirm something that you haven’t investigated?
“Yes, ESPN and Big Ten, we can confirm that there is no known connection between the allegations and the OSU coach. Well, we haven’t actually looked for any connection.” - NCAA
November 7th, 2023 at 6:48 PM ^
Another mgo poster says it’s Beacon Investigation solutions. From Portsmouth New Hampshire. Founded by Mike Orchard and headquartered in Columbus, OH
November 7th, 2023 at 7:25 PM ^
It's entirely possible the NCAA looked into it (without much effort) and found no "known connections" to Day and said, "No Day, nothing more to see here," instead of a thorough investigation into all possible intermediaries that could potentially lead back to Day. I think this is the disconnect between Hole's source and the NCAA. After all, they are aligned with the BIG and have vested interest in Harbaugh/Michigan's immediate demise.
November 7th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
SIAP, but a quick search of Mike Orchards LinkedIn account shows he’s friends with Christopher Day.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
Mandel may be in motion, yes, but that turd has a lot of work to do if he wants to get back to baseline (or some semblance of fairness on this issue). If he's inclined to do so, he'll need to smear OSU worse than he smeared UM. That may not sound fair, but OSU moved first on this.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:16 PM ^
At least or one or two sapient individuals at ESPN must be pooping trou. . . No one's going to be interested in Thamel anymore.

ESPN did post a story about Purdue getting signs from OSU & Rutgers. ESPN report
November 7th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
After how long? They had no choice but to do so because their bias in reporting is coming out.. Pete Thamel being fired is next thing for me.. He withheld info last week with that ex-staff of a 2022 Big Ten opponent revealing (that came out yesterday)...
November 7th, 2023 at 6:40 PM ^
November 7th, 2023 at 6:43 PM ^
This thing could turn quickly.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:46 PM ^
Good. The asshole has to be set straight. You can't hide someone who came forward contradicting a story you are writing and you hide that to facilitate your narrative. I have a feeling GameDay is going to sound different this weekend. Suits know when their brand is losing money and will do anything to protect that.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:01 PM ^
It would soooo espn to drum up all this hysteria. Have talking heads demand action. Big10 takes action on Thursday. Espn bashes big10 Saturday for over reacting
November 7th, 2023 at 6:59 PM ^
serious question - who is David Shuster and why should we trust him? Never heard of him before this whole... thing.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:18 PM ^
Former anchor for CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. For fuller transparency, he's also an M grad.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:44 PM ^
That's quite a diverse triad. He must be good at getting along with people.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:21 PM ^
No idea but I’m ready to name him Godfather of my children.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:16 PM ^
I want to believe this is true. Not sure if this guy is credible though yet. He shared some very rosy info about the initial Pettiti meeting which seems inaccurate now
November 7th, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
Re people at ESPN getting fed up with Thamel. Ever notice how many Buckeyes have/had ESPN gigs (many of whom are bad), Herbie, joey Galloway, Laurentiis... I wonder if someone higher up pushes the Buckeyes. So what Thamel was doing was great until the story started changing to make OSU look bad.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
The ESPN post is still three quarters "Michigan bad" with the other quarter being dry "Michigan presented some documents to some people and made some claims", as if ESPN never even looked at them.
Which is exactly what I would do if I was trying to backtrack a story that I made a bad take on.
November 7th, 2023 at 8:13 PM ^
This. They still barely reported it and are excusing what Ohio, Rutgers and Purdue et al did essentially as ‘not against the rules’ and stating such when that is not actually true. So they are continuing to be as massively biased and misleading (to our detriment) as possible. Bunch of dickbags.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
Not clear on the distinction between a connection and a link, in this context.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:11 PM ^
I jut got popcorn and waiting for the coming days...
November 7th, 2023 at 6:33 PM ^
Clarification below…
November 7th, 2023 at 6:34 PM ^
A connection is 6-8” longer than a link.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
So if a link is 66/100 of a US survey foot, or 7.92", that would be </button pushing noises, ka-chunk, printer noises> 13.92-15.92".

+1 for math and calculator humor? You don’t get that often around here.
