Is it Michigan’s year?

1. IT's not a big deal to scout games in person
2. BUt it's a completely different thing if your video of signals
3. And then the same dude that is going to opponent games and video this stuff is on your sideline during game in your ear with their signals sheet and relaying information to Harbaugh.

If even half is true......screw NCAA (they will take years to flush this out). I'd go right to Big 10 commisioner (He can SEC commish will be two most powerful people in NCAA) and say I'm not playing Michigan if I'm rest of teams and get them basically on probation this season. And Harbaugh should be banned from nto only Michigan but also NCAA. This is blatant cheating like Astros pulled in MLB a few years ago and the whole bunch should be banned from NCAA to send a message.

Funny how things are viewed. TN stole UK's signs a few years ago and it was treated with a chuckle, poke to the ribs, snicker and called "gamesmanship."

The TV is rarely focused on the entire play. Watch a replay of a game for a team you don't care about and pay attention to camera angles. They RARELY if ever show the whole play during the game. It's mostly isolations and they switch between them. It's not at all the same as being there or seeing the whole field.

The games are recorded in All 22 format as well. I'm assuming this is done by the staff of the home team, but I'm not definite. This is the footage that is shared amongst teams to scout.

The thing about All 22 footage is you can't see the signals. Well, at least they aren't zoomed in on and the focus.

I had no idea. I assumed every single team had people scouting games for them. Had no clue whatsoever that scouting an opponent was against the rules. Wow

Yeah, scouting is relegated to film study and with game film out there, I don't see any reason for in-person scouting if for nothing other than to watch their sideline.

As a UM fan, they certainly look good.......but we won't know until PSU/OSU......then what lies beyond. They haven't really played anyone big yet.

Mich looked good in 21 and 22 too, but they were paper tigers both years. Made playoffs both years, blown out by UGA in 21 and lost to the most undeserving playoff team in the playoff era, well maybe 2nd most considering Mich lost to them. OSU was better than Mich at every level on both sides of the ball, yet it looked like Mich was in OSU's huddle, now it appears they were. But if Mich makes the playoff again and the other 3 teams are aware of how Mich operates there is a good chance they get embarrassed for the 3rd year in a row.

Can you provide more information on this? This is the first I’ve ever heard of this. Not saying it didn’t happen, but I’m curious to learn more.

It was the game in Lexington that UK choked and lost in 3-4 OTs, Fullmer was coach but don't recall the year and too lazy to look it up. The whole thing was it wasn't treated as TN cheating but "gamesmanship." The whole thing was downplayed.
