I can envision two possibilities. 

1) SEC

2) The way conferences are changing maybe a new Super Conference

Canadian Football League. 
Michigan Wolverines vs the Calgary Stampeders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. 

[Deleterious]

Michigan doesn't want any part of the SEC.

[MIguy]

It's sounding more and more like Michigan was the initial victim of sign stealing and instead of snitching, decided to fight fire with fire.

Independent, like Notre Dame? They could easily get their own TV deal.

except that pooling observations from other teams is in effect exactly the same effect as the prohibited action of visiting other sites in person. It gives a team access to data it was not allowed to gather for itself. Just because another team did it for you it still amounts to remote in person scouting.

I don't think the B1G are in the careful and thoughtful evaluation stage

Most interesting detail from this Balas piece

https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/latest-updates-balas

so that's a summary of the paywalled thing...however I'll provide this one nugget

Quote

ESPN requested 50 tickets to the Michigan -Ohio State game and he thinks Michigan will decline their request.

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how you can pay a collegiate coaching staff an 8 figure salary total and the whole staff is too dense to realize and/or solve the problem if some other team has their signs?

My friend would say you can't be serious.

The key is they are incentivized to do the unethical in the event that a category destroying force emerges that threatens their jobs.  

[romad1]

oh, interesting…

it hasn’t slowed the flow of idiotic hot takes to my social media.

 

 

[Motor City Sonics]

 Did Michigan steal signs? 

Yes

Did the coaches know

Yes

Do a lot of schols do it?

Yes

But officer, other drivers were speeding too...........yes, but I pulled YOU over. 

 

Michigan cheated.  Michigan is dirty.    Apply the dirty part to ever single successful program.  The sport is a cesspool.  

NCAA is pissy about Michigan's self-imposed weak-ass suspension this season, so they had this in their back pocket. 

 

The NCAA has a lot of nerve accusing anyone else of being dishonest.  

As Les Nessman once said to Herb Tarlek.

"Oh Herb, it's all so sordid"

i guy i work with played college (and nfl) football.  he said his team had videotaped practices from other teams back in the 00s.  they had the other team's signs in multiple games.  they always did.

everyone has done this for a long time.  i'm not sure why big ten coaches would go this far against michigan considering they all did it and knowing that michigan had evidence of it.

[romad1]

Stalions was using Blake Corum's ID for his side hustle?  That needs to be sniffed out.

And why would you want to make one of the 2(maybe 3 if you count Penn St) schools in your whole conference that has any semblance of National respect or notoriety look bad? Really the only school that has anything to gain is OSU and Ryan Day cause they now have a convenient excuse why they lost. Every other school gains nothing by trying to make Michigan look bad.  

[romad1]

The rogue staffer narrative is bolstered by the prospect that Stalions committed fraud with Blake Corum's ID.

[Deleterious]

Isn't that fun.

Corum and Stalions were business partners.

[Deleterious]

He is claiming he didn't know.

Maybe he didn't. But some found an Instagram post from corum and he used the hashtag #BC2LLC.

The name of the LLC was BC2 Housing LLC 

Not a smoking gun tho. I could include your dog on an LLC. You don't even need a person's SS#.

Please keep pointing at this thing that Corum denies and indicates fraud by Stalions. 

[romad1]

 

ESPN really shameless in all this.

Jerry Rogers was dirty! Back in the '70s.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0531122/

Storyline
While Marcia is hanging posters advertising Westdale High's upcoming "massacre" of Fairview High at this weekend's league championship football game, she is approached by Jerry Rogers, the quarterback of Fairview's team. To Jerry, asking Marcia out on a date is more important than school loyalty, or so he tells her. What she doesn't know is that Jerry is trying to gain access to any secret that Greg, Westdale's halfback, may have lying around to assist in Fairview beating Westdale, most specifically the Westdale playbook. Bobby does see Jerry trying to steal Greg's playbook, which Marcia does not believe or want to believe. To test what Bobby claimed to have seen, Greg, with Marcia's knowledge, leaves a fake playbook lying around to see what becomes of it. Meanwhile, in the lead up to the big game, Carol is expecting a visit from Tank Gates, her high school sweetheart from her days at Westdale. Tank was the star quarterback who went on to play pro football. As Carol extols the virtue of Tank, Mike begins to feel a little inferior. What Mike eventually learns is that Tank doesn't try to make others feel inferior, but make himself appear superior.

I wonder where the divide lines up.
