The Harbaugh situation is overblown

Everybody in the Big10 steals signs. Illinois shared their spreadsheet of Michigans signs with OSU and Purdue (OSU had their own). Purdue may have sent Michigans signs to TCU last year. The issue is that a low level staffer is accused of being at opposing recording with an electronic device (which is against the rules) and not a 3rd party (which is not against the rules). If the Big10 had let this take its own course and let it all play out like it should have, then this wouldn’t be an issue. Since mob mentality took effect and the Big10 did not let due process take ahold, so it all became personal. The slight of how the suspension was given out and the timing of it are very unprofessional and lead the personal nature of the issue.

Would the ACC take Michigan?
HOO86 • 11/10/23 06:33 PM ET
Of course the ACC would take them. But Michigan couldn't afford the pay cut**
tarheelblue • 11/11/23 05:58 PM ET
If look at the UM endowment. Michigan can afford what it wants.
HOO86 • 11/11/23 09:30 PM ET
Most endowment money can't be used for athletics. **
tarheelblue • 11/11/23 10:19 PM ET
True, but it speaks to how well a school can fundraise**
mrcaniac • 11/12/23 04:04 PM ET
True, but the ability to cover the athletic budget is not an issue.
HOO86 • 11/12/23 12:24 AM ET
ACC recruiting grounds also
mrcaniac • 11/12/23 04:09 PM ET
Yes. Recruiting should expand reach for the ACC
HOO86 • 11/13/23 10:28 PM ET
Michigan would never walk away from all that money.
Atlee Hokie • 11/11/23 03:46 PM ET
If the ACC wouldn’t take them, the conference should shut down.
reestuart • 11/11/23 01:08 PM ET
there's a reason that ND wants nothing to do with Mich
Mercury • 11/11/23 03:28 PM ET
Michigan has been run by a century of *******s
TerryD • 11/12/23 08:54 AM ET
Whenever you have a whale in the league.
HOO86 • 11/12/23 09:30 PM ET
Trouble. And money. Lots and lots of money. The ACC took Loserville and SMU
reestuart • 11/11/23 04:10 PM ET
Yeah, like Texass.
RJHokie • 11/11/23 03:34 PM ET
Texass in the SEC is going to be interesting to watch.
Atlee Hokie • 11/11/23 03:52 PM ET
Not sure ND would push that
TerryD • 11/11/23 05:26 AM ET
I think in a NY minute. But I remember the same discussions about PSU
EDGEMAN • 11/11/23 12:31 AM ET
And this Harbaugh thing is hyper-trivial compared to leaving the B1G
Maroon Baboon • 11/11/23 12:46 AM ET
It may be worth noting that Michigan was voted out of the Big Ten (when it
VTHokie2000 • 11/11/23 11:13 AM ET
Just crazy for anyone to suggest they might change conferences.
EDGEMAN • 11/11/23 12:56 AM ET
Yeah, it’s just a stupid thought. **
reestuart • 11/11/23 01:09 PM ET
In normal times yes. But we have Cal/Stanford coming.
HOO86 • 11/11/23 09:27 AM ET
Michigan has its own financial security
dayooper • 11/11/23 06:55 AM ET
Maybe we should start a clandestine agitation operation to get the Big Blue
Maroon Baboon • 11/11/23 11:42 AM ET
Operation Gemstone.
mancunian • 11/12/23 01:45 PM ET
It absolutely must have a Watergate or James Bond-villain vibe.
Maroon Baboon • 11/12/23 02:22 PM ET
No doubt, but they aren't going to give up tens of millions every year...
EDGEMAN • 11/11/23 07:27 AM ET
Wait'll they see the pay cut.**
Maroon Baboon • 11/10/23 11:17 PM ET
Yep. But that adjustment might change that a bit.
HOO86 • 11/10/23 11:29 PM ET
Michigan is very not happy with the Big10
dayooper • 11/10/23 09:46 PM ET
Welcome. Haven't seen you here. As a Michigan guy,
HOO86 • 11/10/23 10:29 PM ET

He has been suspended for cheating twice....this season alone.**
TerryD • 11/12/23 08:56 AM ET
Thanks for your perspective and insight, please keep posting, we agree to
Stech • 11/11/23 10:01 AM ET
No, it is funny
dayooper • 11/11/23 12:20 PM ET
Thank you. Seen it going on, but haven't paid close attention to it. **
HOO86 • 11/11/23 09:10 AM ET
The odds of UM going to the ACC is no less than the odds of Alabama
WBGV • 11/10/23 09:24 PM ET
Just give Texas a decade or so in the SEC...they can destroy anything**
BUGGZY • 11/11/23 12:52 AM ET
Worst conference member in history**
EDGEMAN • 11/11/23 12:57 AM ET
It’s hard to believe they would leave, but ESPN would love to have them!!!**
Stech • 11/10/23 09:14 PM ET
Yes, with open arms
ren_hoek • 11/10/23 08:14 PM ET
I would just hope the ACC wouldn't screw around
HOO86 • 11/10/23 08:39 PM ET
Duke and UNC already voted no**
LonghornHokie • 11/10/23 07:46 PM ET
Know your irrelevant - when everyone else votes yes....thanks for playing**
Vinnibob • 11/10/23 08:47 PM ET
