Michigan Wolverines Cheated! (allegedly)

Michigan college football is right up there with all American sports pastimes. They play football in "The Big House" underneath the lights. I personally own a Wolverines football jersey along with two Michigan t-shirts just for the nostalgia of it all. And I've never set foot in the state. From the stadium, to the fans, to the uniforms and players, Michigan Football has been a classy part of American lore. And then it wasn't.

The Big Ten decided that Michigan conducted "an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years, resulting in an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition." It stated that such activities compromised sportsmanship and affected the "integrity of the competition" cbssports ncaafb

The Michigan football team is being investigated for cheating, and though its "alleged" at this time, the evidence appears to be .  .  .  Damning! Upon arrival at their opponent's regional airport on Friday, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was informed of his suspension pending an NCAA investigation. 

Michigan won the game today, 24-15 over their Big Ten rival #10 Penn State, without coach Harbaugh on the sideline.  They are currently ranked #2 on the AP college football poll, with two games left in the regular season. One of those games is against division rival, #3 Ohio State. They must topple the Buckeyes in order to win their division and have a shot at the College Football Playoffs #1 seed. 

The Bigger hill the Michigan Wolverines face is whether they will be allowed to participate in the CFP this season, or seasons down the road. Many will see a three-game suspension of Harbaugh as a slap on the wrist. Fasten your seatbelts college football fans, this cheating scandal has just taxied up to the runway and is ready for takeoff. Based on the weather forecast, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

It strikes me they are missing what’s going on here. This is not about a team stealing signals in a game. This is about a team sending people to other stadiums to record what those teams are doing, to steal signals. That seems to take it to a different level.
