If this were a case against an individual defendant, then I could buy the due process argument. In this case, the preponderance of evidence clearly leads one way as you correctly point out. The burden is on Michigan to explain itself right now, or the hammer should come down.
The FBI is investigating something. They don't make charges in civil cases. There is a lot going on with the investigations that we have not hear yet and that is the only reason the NCAA and the B1G are responding so quickly. It should be interesting.
A team no, it’s not a waging entity. If players or coaches used this information in placing wagers then yes. I cite Pete Rose as example A. Merely as to the proceedings and outcome not his culpability.
The FBI is investigating what to date has been labeled a different matter. Alleged 🖥 related crimes by a fired Assistant Coach.
Definitely, refusing to play hurts us both and we still have a ton to play for. No need for spite holdouts just yet.

Deny everythingMichigan fans seem to think this totally changes the narrative.
Since there are so few details provided in it, it doesn't change anything. And even if details were provided, that would be (possibly) grounds for a separate B1G and NCAA investigation. Even if this is 100% factual, it changes nothing relative to Michigan.
Ex-college football staffer shared docs with Michigan, showing Big Ten team had Wolverines' signs
A former college football staffer shared documents with Michigan that showed a Big Ten opponent had spreadsheets of the Wolverines’ signs last year obtained before his team played Michigan.
It doesn't change anything as far as the NCAA goes but if I'm the Big Ten Commissioner using the common sense part of my brain I'm questioning the motivations of those grieving coaches from the meeting last week. Looks like fair play and the safety of their players may in fact not be the primary motivation here. Surprise, surprise, surprise. The league is a cesspool and everyone is complicitMichigan fans seem to think this totally changes the narrative.

Michigan vs. the Big Ten, NCAA — what will happen next, and on recent ‘reports’
Michigan has been served with a notice of allegations by the Big Ten, and Commissioner Tony Petitti apparently feels he has no choice ...www.on3.com
Nothing in there says those signals were illegally obtained via advance in person scouting or by use of electronic equipment. UM has failed to grasp that these are the elements making their situation illegal for weeks. Yes, everyone tries to steal signs during the game they are playing in and they may even have a designated sign stealer on the staff for this purpose. Not everyone does what UM is accused of doing. The only thing even worth considering here is the possible collusion accusation as that would likely go against the spirit of competition and might result in a punishment. But would they punish every team in the conference? Were opposing coaches fed up with UM's illegal sign stealing operation which brought about the collusion as a way to try to negate the competitive advantage UM was getting?Michigan fans seem to think this totally changes the narrative.

Coach Matt Weiss got fired for screwing with campus computers and is being investigated by the FBI. Remember Glenn "Shemy" Schembechler in May? Or Harbaugh suspension to start the season? Or Stalions suspended then resigning amid allegations? All of this within a year.
