The University of Michigan is making what I consider to be a rather absurd claim; that somehow the rest of the coaching staff didn't know about Connor Stallions' sign stealing scheme. Let's go through the evidence:
- Michigan's win percentage went up 25% during the scheme, and then down 30% when it was exposed.
- The major losses during the scheme were relatively un-scoutable bowl games.
- In contract talks, former stinky weasels coach Jim Harbaugh insisted on protection from NCAA investigations.
- Harbaugh has been banned from the NCAA for four years for refusing to cooperate with the investigation.
- Current Michigan coach Sherrone Moore has already been sanctioned for his role.
- Several coaches' computers and phones showed evidence of the scheme. Three have been fired, and the defensive coordinator moved to the NFL.
- Are we to seriously believe that Harbaugh, Moore, Jesse Minter, and other Michigan coaches missed the fact that they were amazingly more likely to be in the right defense in 2021-3 than they were in 2019 and before? (2020 was a forgiveable lost season for them)
- Are we to believe that nobody in the coaching staff never slipped up as they applied their knowledge of offensive signs when calling the plays defensively during the game?
Now the NCAA has telegraphed their unwillingness to seriously punish the stinky weasels already by saying they won a national championship "fair and square", but the bulk of the evidence suggests that Michigan needs to give up their wins from 2021-3, as well as about six scholarships per year for the next four years.
