“ In most cases, video of future opponents is readily available either through institutional exchange, subscription to a recording/dubbing service or internet sites accessible to the general public.”

When the NCAA simplified 11.6.1 in 2013 to the rule that applies today (https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/search/proposalView?id=3017) they added the title to this thread in the commentary. I think the key is “subscription to a recording/dubbing service” because it’s not specifically defined what that is. So this is all our intrepid young assistant was enthusiastically doing.

Irrelevant - there’s a rule and we broke it.

Our best case is “we have to do something, so no bowl in 2024 and forfeit your wins for 2 years.

 

It’s the NCAA - even the dude who tipped them off is an investigator (allegedly). They hate us.

 

Please, convince me I’m wrong because this is really depressing.

The NCAA had recently said this was not a big advantage and could be made legal again. There have been claims of many teams doing this.  It's possible the NCAA doesn't go scorched earth. Especially "if" the firm was possibly hired by a rival, a rival who has been accused of doing this and accused others of it too.

Arizona's head coach was caught on mic discussing paying multiple players and they didn't have to forfeit a single win. 1 year post season ban and less recruiting time by 7 weeks.
