Everyone does it, not just Harbaugh

IMO, if they squeeze Connor Stalions and he has any knowledge of us buying tape/signals from him, it will be a bad look to get wrapped up in from a PR standpoint. I agree that the actions themselves is not that impt, but that's not necessarily relevant in terms of optics. Most of Beamer's coaching steam at USC is condensed in those two games which are in question (UT/Clemson) and it was the catalyst for his big extension. This would be a gentlemanly way to exit his big contract if the stars aligned.
So what’s your excuse for the very good showing in the bowl without 9 starters?

You do understand what I posted was prefaced with "IF"? I wasn't excited about the proposition.

IF we did get signals, it's feasible that the performance from those two games was a confidence and motivation catalyst which carried into the bowl game. It wouldn't be the first time a lethargic team has gone from zero to hero simply based on an energy shift.

Imho, it doesn't even matter if we got the info, but didn't use it a single time/play.

Just receiving the info will be damning. And in the eyes of the press/NCAA it would be enough to punish us.

Chances are we would have known something by now. It's probably a non-issue either way. The NCAA doesn't come across as a governing body who cares about much these days unless they have a vendetta. Michigan and Harbaugh were probably high on the list in this instance. They look like clowns trying to punish teams as the NIL runs amuck.

I agree. I saw a report when the story first broke about us being possibly involved. But nothing since.

I think if a paper trail were there, we PROBABLY would have heard by now.

What Beamer did is no worse or less grievous than what Michigan is alleged to have done.

Both illegally obtained information.

Trying to shade and differentiate between kinds of cheating and which kinds are acceptable and which are not is just absurd.
Now why drag up the clempson excuse of 80?

Fair enough
