Michigan suspended Connor Stallions:
Stalions’s formal exit came after Michigan’s Doug Gnodkte, the athletics department’s top financial office, had told Stalions he had been “relieved of all duties effectively immediately” Oct 20th "pending an investigation."
Hmmmm... how about that? Michigan fans and representatives are crying about "due process" for Jim Harbaugh but didnt seem to care one lick about due process when they suspended Connor Stallions a day after the reports became public.
Funny how they only seem to care about due process when it's a guy making 9 million a year. Who cares about it when it's a low level staffer though, right?
Just like any other big business
Quite honestly, I think this whole sign stealing thing is a joke. I think we need to move on and I hope Michigan takes Ohio State to the cleaners! Just like Penn State should have done!
Let's take a look at this so far in 2023. Michigan supposedly new the signs of teams that are 48 - 53 combined this season. And NOT one is ranked in the top 25. Ok??? Does anyone really think it made THAT much of a difference in the outcomes? They didn't know Penn States signs - one would think - and they still won. So i really don't think it made a different THIS year and it shouldn't impact the rest of this year.....everyone is well aware what is going down and should be changing their signs.
And quite honestly, you would think Harbaugh haters would like him to coach against Ohio State. If he loses, wouldn't you want to see his face and reaction live on TV?
BTW PSUJOE, this wasn't directed at you, I was just commenting on the post in general!!

Michigan was 69-24 in the regular season under Harbaugh before Connor Stallions. They are 21-1 after and give up 7 points less per game.
Seems they used to have problems with those teams you said were pushovers before this. I wonder why.
Give it up already, stop your belly aching.
Michigan won, Franklin on his way out. Life goes on.
Roam - you make a valid point. I just personally - just me - really don't care about the sign stealing thing. Air is free, coaches put things out their and this is what can and did happen. You and I both know Michigan is not alone in this one way or another. Maybe JF never sent somebody to another teams game, but don't tell me he and the rest didn't study signs another way. My goodness, before this broke, I sat at games trying to figure them out myself just for the fun of it.
My position right now is, Michigan should not be tossed from the CFP contention. Fine them, maybe take some scholarships away, but Michigan was going to win their first 9 games no matter what....their schedule was weak. This is just my opinion and I do see your side as well.
The difference is send people to games is illegal and figuring them out during the game is not. Also, one team has the signs from the start, while the other does not.Roam - you make a valid point.

To me, it's not that Michigan did this... it's that everyone knows they did it and they still act like they did nothing wrong. You let this go, guaranteed teams will push further and further... rules matter and if you dont uphold them when you have concrete proff then why bother.
The problem is - too many analysts!
