In one of my prior threads, I was talking about cheating. The main character of this story is about the Michigan football scandal of have an advisor on the coach staff going to opposing teams stadiums to (according official sources) study the teams play signals. Fast forward to current events! Michigans Head Coach Jim harbaugh has denied that he was involved with the scheme, where as the teams is under investigation by the NCAA and Big 10.
Now here is the sticky part! Jim Harbaugh may not b around after the season? Rumors are he might be heading back to the NFL? He has been at odds with people in the college ranks since becoming the HC several years ago. So is he leaving because of this incident, but proclaiming his innocence? Hard to tell! But now the schools is saying other schools are cheating too! Although they have no evidence nor will say what schools are cheating!
This sounds awfully familiar to what Trump and his band of goons are doing! Lying to cover up their guilt and trying shift the blame on someone else!
I dont care who it is! There is no room to lie or cheat in my book! You get caught? You must pay the consequences no matter what! I am a huge Nebraska fan of any sport and they were caught cheating or doing something illegal? They must pay their consequences just anyone else who breaks the rules! The lack of accountability is no longer in force and when we hear the stories about cheating? People say oh well and look the other way or blame it someone else.
There is no easy fix! The rules have been bent so far out of place, the is no chance to be effective or enforced. In sports or politics? It beyond repair!

(1,410 posts)This cheating is stealing signals that are being relayed in. One team got busted doing it about 7 years ago, the opposing teams actually used pvc and curtains to block the views.
