No the Knight and Jan 6 stuff are apparently unrelated.  Sources pointing toward some kind of advanced scouting.  Unclear if Stalions involved.  Possibly a second staffer and connections with JJ interceptions against BG.  Did hear Matt Weiss' name though and a cryptic reference to Shane Morris concussion.

Still developing.  Sounds bad though.

That guy said that Clemson was going to announce their departure from the ACC during the month of October. Let me just check the calendar real quick...

I think they do these every week, like with the coaches on Wednesday. Everyone on that platform wants to be that guy/girl who trends with info and they know it's going to get national exposure.

There seems to be merit to this. Even though this is a normal occurrence the coaches all crying on the phone last night is going to be the main topic. If I'm Michigan and they try to pull some shit I'm go scorched Earth. I threatened lawsuit and exit to go to the SEC. James Franklin and Ryan Day have rallied the other coaches against Michigan and are wanting to fuck them out of the conference championship and playoff.

I’ve said it before, the Big Ten needs Michigan more than Michigan needs the Big Ten.  If the conference wants to fuck around then I totally agree.  I would probably enjoy UM games in the Southeast more than Indiana, Michigan State or Rutgers anyway.

The new age of College Football has already arrived.  It’s time for the University to defend itself and our great coach/team.

Next you'll be telling us there are rumors of football games being played on Saturday.

 

Which I will not believe unless sourced from some rando on Twitter.

Yes, I received the agenda, one of the bulletpoints:   

Tomorrow is Hawaiian Shirt day.  

So if you want, you can show up to work at your athletic departments wearing a Hawaiian shirt. . . 

 

and jeans.

This. Right here. 

This is truly Michigan‘s best, and possibly only defense right now. Especially their only defense in the court of public opinion.

Go out there and beat the ever loving shit out of everyone you play. The team might still get punished when this is all said and done, but you at least can prove that the sign stealing is not why you won.

Winning has a way of shutting everyone up. And if Michigan wins now, after all of this is out in the open, then what’s going to be your opponent’s excuse then?

I just started a rumor that literally nothing will come of this, as there was no rules violation in the first place, and even if the NCAA or B1G wants to pretend there was one, it was incredibly minor, and literally every team tries to do it every game.

I dunno.  I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this.  I'm picking up an angry mob vibe.

I hope I'm wrong, but if this picks up steam it definitely won't go well for Michigan in particular, or college sports in general.

People called for me to get banned for sharing another update from my source a few days ago. 

I will be ready for the apologies whenever y'all are ready. Doubt if you want but Balas is spinning this, and I told you what was actually happening.

Basically that the extension was being jammed through by Ono to add language protecting the school whereas the "insiders" were framing it as "fighting back." That Jim and the administration are squarely not on good terms despite contrary reporting, and some other stuff. 

"All in all, they’re trying to work it through quickly and frame it positively (I.e. as “fighting back.”). The goal is to finalize this before any/much more comes out.

If it turns out Stalions was at MSU CMU, there is fear that Jim would be implicated as being aware - it is nearly impossible for staffers to…go “awol”…the night before a game…without HC input. Accordingly, that development could lead to the B1G officially opening an investigation. They want these ducks in a row before that happens. Time will tell. Go blue. "
