When does “Private Investigators hack Michigan computers, No violations noted” become a story?
Now that the only clear violation is the potential “master of disguise“ appearance at Central Michigan, when does the hacking of Michigan’s computers by private investigators, become a real story?
breaching, confidential computer systems seems like a much bigger, NCAA violation than legally stealing signs or showing up on somebody’s side line to scout. Where is Pete Thamel on this scoop?

Because the idea that some private investigation firm hacked Michigan is made up conspiracy?

Quite possibly. But is it any more bizarre than the rest of the allegations in this whole fiasco?

According to TheWolverine.com, this is already a story. Just paywalled.

The answer is never, at least not publicly while the investigation is underway, because M is going to have to bring it up and they are wisely not speaking. Were they to bring this up, at least at this point, it would look a little CYA.
The media certainly won't, they have their narrative and are happily generating lots of clicks and faux rage/indignation running with it as is....none of them are going to actually, you know, be a journalist, and try to present a balanced viewpoint to the situation.
That doesn't mean that M and their lawyers aren't hammering this home to the NCAA out of the public eye. I imagine there are any number of legal angles and/or a terrible PR fallout results for the NCAA to set a precedent of muck-raking other teams and then having to pillory each and every one to the same extent for every infraction that is unearthed in the process.
