Institutions like the military and colleges are sometimes said to mirror society. One can only wonder where we are headed as a Country, but more importantly we must ask if individual schools are trend setters. Take the Ivy Leauge schools and their affinity for foreign students who hate America, or how they pushed degrees without merit until DEI created a need for the degrees.
In sports cheating is usually limited to gaining an edge on the field... sometimes fame, power or money are additional motivators.
Take Michigan University and the Athletic Program as a whole. Multiple team sports were cheating in a number of ways. But Michigan Football has set the bar for a totally emcompassing enterprise of cheating on steroids.

The reason the scandal died down was because there were multiple Federal Investigations. Now those investigations are coming to their final moments and the fallout is massive.
The School has maintained and will continue to maintain nothing happened to appease the crazies in the fan base.
At the center of the most prolific college gathering of cheaters to ever come to light, those at the center of the scandal are these three below:
Jim Harbaugh - Gotta be America's Team
Matt Weiss - Gambling, Porn, and more
Connor Stalions - Sign Stealer Guy
As I began to write this Michigan hit piece with actual evidence, it became overwhelming on the fly. Googling Matt Weiss gives you a massive amount of information on Google, and most of it is not good for Michigan or the man.
At Boston College he was involved in similar activities but what extent has not been released, however, that fact that he was hacking student accounts to gain access to personal photos many would classify as porn... it does not bode well for the Univ of Mich that he had done this with his previous employer.
Jim Harbaugh has been held out as the epitome of the Michigan Man. Like Tom Brady who himself was involved in questionable activites in the NFL a Michigan Man too, cheating seems natural to former QBs from the school. Cheeseburger gate, signal spygate, and the indept coordinated nature of Harbaugh's program's rise will make for a season of 30 for 30 on ESPN. The NFL had their deflate gate and harkens back to when New England sent a snowplow out for a field goal in snow storm to win a game in the 70s certain programs have notched their names in the anals of Cheating History.
In the days and weeks to come, one thing will become very clear. That one thing is that no one will be defending the bad actors or the actions of the main characters in this sad saga. Even the current coach is now on the chopping block.
By the time Michigan has been punished, no one associated with Michigan Football will want to remember the 2020-2024 run or the events surrounding their rise. Thousands of people are victims of Michigan Football Coaching, the offensive coordinator and QB coach who was allowed to continue coaching when Michigan found out - 3000 lawsuits are incoming....
ESPN is dropping a bomb at this very moment.
Michigan may be going down the toilet but there will be a whole lot of company going down the drain. I can’t think of any major college who’s hands are really clean now that it’s become pure money ball.
The NCAA did not implement NIL and "transfer portal". It just exploded with out boundaries.
Now college sport "competition" and the traditions associated has become a corrupt joke.
An Arbor may rename their Michigan Tech when the lawsuits are finished with the endowments. The Cheaterines may become the PornHub-a-buba’s.
When you realize the depth and depravity of what was going one, you will realize no one with the exception of the DNC could ever top Michigan Football Progam illegal activities without the other programs who were dirty at UM.
GO! BLUE!
FWIW, I’ve never seen anything wrong with sign stealing. I like Ye Olden Days when quarterbacks called the plays on the field. And substitutions were limited, so the game wasn’t dominated by 300 pound steroid freaks who would collapse if they had to actually stay in the game. And when the players were actual students.
But anyhow, if coaches want to micromanage from the sidelines, it’s up to them to hide their signals and shield their faces so the lip readers can’t do their thing. If you can catch another team’s signals, good for you.
NCAA is neutered. There are no rules.
I’m going to trust an information source named Buckeye Scoop to dish the dirt on Michigan? Big time college sports doesn’t matter anymore. It’s completely pay for play. Maybe ok in d3 or naia schools....
I am thinking that there is difference between Forfiets and Record being expunged. Michigan will be the first school to reach a 1000 wins twice as it now looks. Seems like they might have 40-42 games removed from their win totals.
Multiple post season bans.
Moore will be soon be replaced.
The possession of Michigan Coaching Staff having actual hacked user accounts on the OSU and PSU Athletic dept/FB servers is not a good for mere sign stealers.
Pron is not a good look.
Gambling is not a good look.
“There’s only one thing that matters: O-io State has lost to Michigan FOUR TIMES IN A ROW.”
That in a nutshell is the mindset behind Michigan’s collapse. Win at all cost. The 2 decades of OSU dominance has broken the program, permanently.
Beating your rival four times and a national championship constitutes a "collapse"? Then sign me up for a collapse!
And it comes from some fanboy club of the Suckeyes LOL. Some other things these ‘tards won’t tell you:
1) Michigan has the most NCAA wins into three centuries that won’t be broken for as long as we are alive.
2) Michigan has the highest winning percentage of all colleges in these centuries.
3) Michigan, “The Big House” is the largest stadium in America and their attendance record will never be broken for at least a century. The list goes on but isn’t worth the bandwidth.
When you’ve caught up on the breaking scandal news, you’ll have the Ichigan Blues. Nothing like a broken record - the right way. Gonna be fun in a few weeks when you get back to this thread realizing all you thought you knew was BS about your beloved team. If you are still defending Mich in a month you (will then) belong on a liberal forum.
If you’re a Michigan fan you are signed up for a collapse. Hold on. It’s gonna be a wild ride.
Admit it, this entire vanity post of yours is simply because you’re angry UM announced they are closing their DEI offices.
I’ve gotta admit, when I logged on to FR today I did not have “a couple old FReepers spreading rumors about UM” on my bingo card.
Those four wins could be vacated for cheating. Sorry not sorry
