This Video From Last Year’s Ohio State vs. Michigan Game Shows Everyone From Harbaugh To The Water Boys Knew They Were Cheating
Holy fucking shit. First drive of The Game and Stalions already had the signs? Guess he works fast.
Yeah, all doubt that this was a rogue operation is officially gone. Every single person on that sideline, from players to assistants to training staff to coordinators to the head man himself, knew exactly what was going on. That entire program was coached up on exactly what to do when Connor Stalions illegally stole a sign and could call out a play. Although there is plenty of evidence surfacing around the internet from Venmo receipts to ticket purchases to photos from the sidelines, this is officially the only proof anyone needs to recognize how deep this went.

Entire Sideline then calls the exact play:
But Harbaugh didn't know…..?
Look, I've said since this story surfaced that I respect Jim Harbaugh for realizing that the only way to stop The Ohio State train from obliterating Michigan off the map was to start cheating. And I'm with him. I'd rather win by cheating than lose with integrity. And that's exactly what Michigan did when they hired essentially a Navy Seal to "employ military tactics into football scouting" on their way to a 22-1 conference record since the operation began. But the problem is that if you're going to cheat this bad, you simply cannot get caught. And now they have been caught red-handed.
In all seriousness, how has Harbaugh not been suspended yet? I fully expect vacated wins (is Ryan Day now undefeated against Michigan?), scholarship reductions, bowl bans, etc. But how is Harbaugh still on the sidelines? There literally could not be more damning evidence that he endorsed this full-fledged cheating scandal. The NCAA is way too easy on this guy.
