NFL here we come.

Here's what usually happens on an investigation like this:
The NCAA tells the press that they are investigating (the college of your choice here) for infractions.
The college that is being prosecuted then says in a press release that they are cooperating 100%.
Shortly after that, the college has their legal team stonewall the investigators or fight any sanctions that come down.
This is especially true when Michigan is 9-0.

The state of Michigan has already indicated they are going to fight this. Court injunction likely incoming.
Of course. It's not about trying to get college students a good education. It's about the loss of revenue if Michigan gets reprimanded.
I want to know if the big 10 plans to suspend the other coaches for the teams that have admitted to sign stealing on Michigan?
Just my $0.02

You left out one last step:
#6, The NCAA was SO infuriated with Ohio St. (or Notre Dame, or USC or any other perennial power) cheating, they gave upper-eastern -southwest-whatever-Missouri State the death penalty.
I remember when jim tressel was fired over covering up some free tattoos for signings.
Thats not even game related.
This should be 10x worse. Sign stealing when your coach is getting tickets and videoing the other teams practices etc.
with a "wide ranging network".
Its not decoding signs using publicly available footage or in real time at a game etc.

I remember when SMU got death, but known SEC (& other Power 5) cheaters got “double secret probation” or some other joke slap on the wrist!

Harbaugh is the King of Arrogance. He makes Bill Belichick seem like a saint.
There's saying to the effect that when bad things happens, the poo flows downhill. In academia, when you wield the power of being at the very top of the food chain, you are subject to being the scapegoat that goes down first to save face for the rest of the organization(s). I've seen it often. University presidents step down to cool down the clamor, only later to be found innocent of any wrongdoing.
Only time will tell in this case and I try to not pass judgement, the same that I would wish for myself. And, its only sports. There's much more important current events we need to be concerned with.
Enjoy the weekend everyone.

The late, great U-M coach & A.D. Bo Schembechler has spent his most recent past, constantly rolling over in his grave, over disgust with his former QB and current head coach Jim Harbaugh.
I am one of U-M's biggest fans and Jim deserves to be fired A.S.AP. What a disgrace he has landed on this fine Institution.
I would rather finish last in the Big 10 every year with someone else at the helm, than have this Highest Degree / Highest Level Cheater at the sidelines every Saturday during the Fall season.
Jim went from a pretty good coach to (all of a sudden / overnight) an outstanding coach these past couple years and now I know why and how.
Now please forgive me, while I leave this computer chair to go Puke.

I doubt it... the highest paid public employees in most states are the college football coaches and those coaches aren't brought in so they can lose.. the fans don't care either because they want a winner.. .. college sports are so full of hypocrisy it is beyond me why anyone cares... and if Michigan wins its next 3 games then what?
Every college has an Athletic Foundation which is ostensibly economically separate from the academic budgets. Coaches are paid mostly from the sports revenue of tickets, TV contracts, and alumni contributions. It's not tax money.
you can rationalize it any way you want because everyone involved rationalizes it one way or the other... .. so if the university is a public entity, it is what it is.

..... then it proves the entire governing body of Big Ten and NCAA execs are corrupt. There's no way any College Sports Governship can allow these last three games for U-M and not allow U-M in Tourney-Time around Thanksgiving. So it appears U-M will play, for a chance at a Championship Game.
If Athletic Director Manuel had any part in this scandal, he should be fired also. I hope both get canned. I hate Cheaters of this Level. The Big Guy inside that White Light everyone talks about in books and videos, will demand a Full Cleanup on Regrets someday, or no two wings sticking out of their backs, for these two bozos.
Seems overly dramatic. Every single program "cheats" pretty much wherever they think the NCAA either can't or won't be bothered to enforce their regulations, and it's been going on for decades now. It's how the game is played. Michigan got popped because a low-level staffer decided that paying for "game film" (eg, an iPhone recording from the 5th row) was easier than piecing the info together from broadcast and all-22 film or trading stolen signs with staffers in other programs, like everyone else does. The fact that the Big Ten declined to the review information Michigan provided regarding other programs violating sign-stealing regulations is telling.
It's a violation of a rule that the NCAA itself nearly did away with a couple of years ago because, in their own words, it conveys no significant competitive advantage. It's a rule that's not enforced for the postseason College Football Playoff games. Literally nobody thought this rule was a big deal until a private investigative firm strategically leaked info over the course of a week to do maximum PR damage to Michigan.

I thought sign stealing was part of the game. Hard to believe it's frowned upon.
