who is in denial? lol.
harbaugh hires a guy to steal signs. cool. that's outside the box/nfl thinking. he should do that (everyone else steals signs too, dont kid yourself. even pristine programs like u$c.)
being harbaugh, his small attention span means he doesnt vet the guy (and he's a rich booster's kid whose daddy paid for access for years) so he's not paying attention to the day to day. kid goes rogue and violates stupid rules. but they're rules nonetheless.
normally it would be a low level violation but this is michigan so its turned into a federal case.
harbaugh will face punishment because he's in charge and its on his watch. michigan too. normally it would be a low level punishment. because its michigan it will be a future suspension for harbaugh and a postseason ban for michigan.
you broke the rules, you get punished. that's how it goes. michigan cant complain too hard with that. if they punish them THIS year, that will be unprecedented and michigan will have reason to be pissed.
i'd love to see them leave the conference if that happens, but they wont. at the end of the day michigan is a bunch of institutionalists and conservative. gheyre going nowhere.
