Unverified: OSU Video Staff Ties to UM Games?

I think OSU is really just upset that our network is more vast than theirs.

Where's  Pete Thamel on this, or is he just a fanboy ?

I'm sorry to throw cold water on this, but I took a glance at those Venmo profiles last night when they were still public, and this friend group seems to use "milk" as their caption for anything. Pretty much any transaction involving either of these two profiles uses the word "milk" or the milk emoji. I have no idea why that is, but there are dozens of "milk" transactions dating back several years, many of which are during the offseason and many of which don't involve the OSU staffers tied to Catapult. It's probably just an inside joke, but even if they are using the caption to cover up nefarious transactions, the timing and frequency of the transactions probably don't support the inference that they are related to college football. Either that, or this was a truly massive scheme that involved 10+ people and extended to spring practices and/or other sports.

And, sorry, but "Canes" is assuredly a reference to Raising Canes. Ohio State did not play Miami or any of Miami's opponents this year. The only Venmo transaction of obvious intrigue is the one captioned "nittany lions" but that occurred the weekend of the 2022 OSU-PSU game, and you would probably expect it to be earlier if it had to do with advanced scouting.

I would love for proof of OSU's wrongdoing to come to light, and I suspect in due time that it will. But the "milk" transactions do not seem to be it. 

Does it actually hurt OSU if Day gets suspended? Is he a good in-game coach?

We should be making that trip now - the B1G colluded against us.  Case closed.

The problem is that these two universities are very different. In light of what happened with cheeseburger-gate, Michigan chose to cooperate fully and roll over like a whimpering puppy dog during this investigation. OSU is from the Urban Meyer school of cooperation, which consists of destroying evidence, and lying through your teeth. Let’s not forget that he destroyed evidence of multiple major felonies and aided and abetted a wife-beating piece of shit on his staff. OSU already has the Big Ten commissioner in its pocket and will make this go away using every criminal and corrupt approach possible. This is going nowhere.

Michigan should be running to the acc regardless of what else happens. 

The ACC pays ~1/2 of what the B1G does and their TV deal is locked until 2033. 

We are not going anywhere.

Nothings going to happen than already has they beat us on this….win the game. 

From the link below, it would seem that there is significant latitude as to NCAA reporting - How about a bunch of Mgobloggers sharing the wealth with the NCAA?

Enforcement

The NCAA enforcement staff monitors information regarding potential violations, investigates potential threats to college sports, processes less serious violations, provides notice of alleged violations to schools and involved individuals, and presents cases to the Committees on Infractions. Information on possible violations is reported to the NCAA enforcement staff in several ways, such as self-reporting, sources, phone calls, public or member tips, and social media. Enforcement investigators charged with reviewing information about potential violations are committed to doing so in a fair, accurate, collaborative and timely manner. The enforcement staff works together with schools and other parties to uncover the facts and assess whether violations may have occurred. Not all tips are substantiated, and not all reported behaviors are violations of NCAA rules. At the completion of an investigation, the enforcement staff works collaboratively with schools to prepare potential violations for presentation to the NCAA Committees on Infractions.

The difference is that the PI firm already did the leg work on this kind of stuff. To be successful, they would need:

Access to a stadium's resale ticket purchases.

Access to the CCTV footage from the game and of the person in the stadium and in their seat. 

Ohio did that and then went a step further by 'accessing' Stalions spread sheet which listed participants, dates and times as well as his purchase of the tickets. 

Access to the film the 3rd party's upload. 

A PI firm is not going to be able to get that information without help from a university. 

There is also a screenshot of a thread on X.

There is absolutely NO way CS was the only one in CFB or even the B1G doing this, no way not in the age where every one has a small, easily concealed camera is their pockets (we are all basically CS) and in a sport where everyone is desperately trying to get a leg up (or not get left behind)...and one thing that is certain about 'vast networks' is that they cross paths and are aware of each other...

I'm sure they did. There's no way we're the only ones looking for ways to get a competitive advantage within the rules (saying that because it seems like Stalions tried to do that). The problem is, Michigan now has a big target on its back and has been convicted not only in the court of public opinion but by the Big Ten. So everything we offer up now sounds like sour grapes to anyone that buys the conviction. From a PR standpoint, now is not the best time to put out any information simply because it will fall on too many deaf ears. From the sound of it, the Big Ten already declined to listen to the allegations of other teams sharing our signs with each other. The SI article posted yesterday does a good job of laying out why that, in itself, might be a violation of the sportsmanship rule and yet....crickets on that. 

Ok, so sometimes on my walk to the stadium the field hockey bathrooms are open and sometimes they are off limits. Please use all of your resources to fix this injustice. Thank you for your time.

And it's undoubtedly all skim.
