We have reached the "this is all just stupid" part of the scandal. 

But if Tim Smith is not really Uncle T, I pity the fool for having his reputation ruined...

This is where it will get really nasty...allegations and finger pointing. Michigan is the best team in the nation, and it will be for nothing due to this stupid shit.

I read the article. Whoever this Tim Smith guy is, he just needs to shut the fuck up. He can’t help himself in this interview. He opens his fat mouth and skeleton bones keep flying out.

At message boards in the years prior to Facebook, I was at various times DennisT, DaddyT, CoachT, SenorT, even MrT. I was never UncleT.

This guy was all over at least one of the paywalled message boards when this story initially broke, defending Stalions and ranting about what a "smart" and "fine young man" he was. He definitely gave the impression that he knew Stalions well, so this "I barely knew him" defense is a lie, at least in spirit. This unhinged interview is not a good look for the guy, and his credibility is rightfully shot.

By the way, Uncle T, whoever he is, is clearly an idiot. There was no good reason for him to not just buy the tickets and pay for the other expenses himself. If he had coordinated this scheme and just sent Stalions the footage, then arguably none of this would have broken the rules. And they certainly wouldn't have gotten caught so easily. It's like they went out of their way to break a minor rule in the dumbest and sloppiest way possible.

Please don’t let this be a John U. Bacon book. I need a movie version… this is almost literal insanity.  
 

maybe a true crimes podcast. 
 

How fitting. I have been driven to insanity.  Double post repeating my self

Love how the media, NCAA and B1G go hard to find out this booster and his "crimes" yet no one cares about a OSU booster hiring a firm to investigate us, or Texas A&M and their oil money, or LSU's boosters, or Kansas', or Bama. 

It's just fucking stupid.

This is just hitting you now?  Did any other coach/program get investigated for covid violations and cheeseburgers?

The NCAA has had it out for Harbaugh since the satellite camps.  Now he's fucking with their (and the Big 10's) money.  If this was a different country he would have "fallen" out of a 14th story window by now.

Holy crap this guy needs to shut up and stop talking to the media. If he's not "Uncle T" then he's owed an apology, but in the article he tip toes right up to the line of making it all worse.
