Forget about national championships. A&M has only had three years that would generally be considered "good" since I graduated 29 years ago. - 98, last conference championship won, with the out of nowhere win over undefeated K State - 2012, 11-2, Manziel's Heisman year - 2020, 9-1 in the Covid year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but with them you don't really have the people around who remember the national title. Not like Miami that won all those titles in the 80's plus 2001, or Nebraska being the dominant program for decades and winning titles in the 70's and 90's and being a contender so many other years in there. TAMU is more like Minnesota where, sure, they have had success but it's not really in living memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 So there's no rule against stealing signals unless you use electronic communication to tell the players. And the NCAA rulebook doesn't have any stated penalty for in-person scouting so even if Michigan is determined to have done so, nobody knows what happens.

Tabe Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 4 hours ago, Brian Fowler said: So there's no rule against stealing signals unless you use electronic communication to tell the players. Not true. The rule says “any attempt to record, either through audio or video means, any signals given by an opposing player, coach or other team personnel is prohibited.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Quote A low-level staffer with a military background has emerged as one of the linchpins in the NCAA investigation into Michigan's alleged sign-stealing operation, sources told ESPN on Thursday. Connor Stalions, a football analyst with the Wolverines and a retired captain in the United States Marine Corps, is a person of interest in the investigation into whether No. 2-ranked Michigan violated an NCAA rule by scouting future opponents in person at games, sources said. The NCAA prohibited such scouting in 1994. Sources said the NCAA enforcement staff's level of interest in Stalions is so significant it sought access to his computer as part of its investigation. Sources indicated that the process is underway, although it's uncertain what investigators will find. Attempts by ESPN to reach Stalions were not returned. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel did not return a request seeking comment. A source told ESPN that the Wolverines have used an "elaborate" scouting system to steal signals from future opponents since at least 2021. With the ongoing NCAA investigation into Michigan recruiting and coach Jim Harbaugh potentially facing additional penalties there, this separate investigation could significantly increase his exposure to additional suspension. If the allegations are proven to be true, Michigan would have violated NCAA Bylaw 11.6.1, which states: "Off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents (in the same season) is prohibited." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38700739/michigan-staffer-eyed-center-elaborate-scouting-scheme-sources-say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I think it's obvious that the NCAA must have a fair amount of evidence to go ahead and inform the Big Ten and future opponents. The big question, I guess, is whether this was a male conspiracy from the top of Michigan's program and athletic department or if one staffer with a rep for being good at sign stealing was putting some serious effort into impressing his bosses. As a Michigan fan, clearly I prefer the latter possiblity (also it's a lot harder to run a conspiracy the more people who are involved.) One thing is for sure though: every team Michigan plays the rest of the year is going to have all new signs and signals for Michigan week, or they are gonna huddle a lot more than usual. Or both.
