The SEC reached out to the B1G to provide evidence that “Michigan staff member (Stalions)” attended SEC games as well

Not sure if it was confirmed prior that the SEC was also colluding with the B1G on this:


In addition, the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference informed the Conference that the University staff member had purchased tickets to the SEC football championship game in Atlanta.

If true, to hell with the SEC too.

This shits going to be embarrassing when Michigan boat-races the rest of their sorry ass B1G schedule.

I think Michigan will win it all though im not 100% sure because the B1G is so bad at football its hard to tell just how good Michigan is.

Who gives a fuck, there are no SEC teams on the schedule so it's not against the rule. It's not like coaches are never allowed to attend any football game ever.

EDIT: Also come on SEC. You really want to get involved in bringing to light rule breaking? It's accepted that you all cheat, it's so accepted that just the idea of playing like a SEC school implies that you're probably cheating.

Again, I don’t really care as this isnt anything to change the overall narrative. Stallions was a nut. Everyones mad about punishment without anyone actually investigating anything

So, basically everyone outside of UM fans believes UM is guilty and should be punished.  I agree CS was stupid in his methods, and way too obvious. UM broke the spirit of rules not the exact rule. 

If UM can get an injunction and JH can coach, I hope they put up 50+ on every team they play. Emotion will affect the game for the first 10 minutes or so, but then it's about execution and talent. 

I am very disappointed and disillusioned in college football.

Disillusioned and the whole thing almost surreal. I get opponents wanting to derail UM. But the trial by media and Petitti acting like he has the same agenda is mind boggling. Alienating UM is cutting his own throat. There is a generation of people that cannot accept OSU not being on top and the media seems to be following their  lead. I think UM has to seriously explore leaving the conference. This bad blood cannot be undone.

Aside from the curious issue that this would imply it's illegal for anyone associated with a college football team to watch another college football game in person, it's irrelevant.

It's irrelevant to the charge because it's already been established that Stalions paid for other people to attend games. Whether that's just a dozen B1G games or also some SEC, ACC or Pac games is kinda not the heart of the issue. Having people watch games of teams Michigan never ended up playing is hardly an aggravating factor.

The question for us isn't whether other teams and conferences would take offense to Michigan violating rules to gain an edge. Of course, they do. And we would too if someone else had done it. The question is whether Michigan is treated similarly to other teams accused of violations of similar seriousness. Both by the NCAA and the conference.

I think at this point we all know that this isn't the case. Michigan's beef is that in a sport where every program has broken the rules and probably still is breaking the rules in some way, it is being singled out by its own conference for punishment specifically designed to destroy the team's chances of success.

How many places can Stallions be at one time? Unless he's from the 23rd century and can beam himself from place to place. Besides that, how much would all these airfares cost? 

Maybe Stallions can clone himself a dozen times.

Honestly at this point, I’m ok with Michigan leaving the Bigten but not to that shithole conference. Maybe either the ACC or go Independent for awhile. It doesn’t seem to bother Notre Dame any as an Independent.

I am confused.  I thought it wa so it illegal to scout teams that you are scheduled to play. How does Stalions having ppl watching other conferences games play into this at all?

Smart on the SEC's part.  "Hey, the dipshit B1G commish is out to get one of their leading contenders for the cfp.  If we can help him bring them down, maybe we can get 2 SEC teams in the cfp."
