Yet more rule breaking in Ann Arbor? Looks like
Belichick Harbaugh hired an ex-Marine (Go USMC!) officer to handle his intel.
Per ESPN:
The allegations against Michigan appear to transcend the normal coach griping about opposing coaches stealing signals, as the depth of the allegations -- and the Big Ten's on-record affirmation of an investigation -- hint at something much more significant.
The allegations have rattled coaches and administrators around the Big Ten.
"This is worse than both the
Astros and the
Patriots -- it's both use of technology for a competitive advantage and there's allegations that they are filming prior games, not just in-game," a Big Ten source said. "If it was just an in-game situation, that's different. Going and filming somewhere you're not supposed to be. It's illegal. It's too much of an advantage."
I got a chuckle out of this because there seems to be a segment of fans who give Michigan a free pass when that program is every bit as sanctimonious and underhanded as Notre Dame, Ohio State and Penn State.
Four peas in a pod in my book.
