His presence inside the stadium while employed by UM--regardless of purpose--was a violation, I thought.Joined: 09/12/2019MGoPoints: 52228<ul><li>Log in or register to post comments</li></ul>August 16th, 2024 at 2:19 PM ^It's an incredibly gray/vague area (and thus potentially open to differing interpretations), plus it's been a while since I read what little language there is in the rule, but I think you could make an argument that it's only a violation if you're actually doing advanced scouting. So as applies to Stalions, if he wasn't there to scout MSU, but was actually there to use his accumulated expertise to help CMU/the CMU coaches* (i.e. he wasn't there as an M employee/agent, but rather as an agent/employee of CMU), using the above line of thinking you could argue he didn't violate the rule. For a different example, imagine a coach who has a son playing at another school in the conference. A strict application of the rule would mean that the coach couldn't go watch his son play on an off day/week, even if he wasn't there to scout but truly just as a parent, which seems a little odd and would suggest the rule isn't completely rigid.*As an aside, I still think the Occam's razor simplest explanation of the CMU game is that he was there to help CMU/a friend on the CMU staff. The fact that he had a sideline pass and nailed the CMU coaching attire for the day, not to mention that nobody noticed a guy posing as a staffer that wasn't supposed to be there, strongly implies he had inside help. And there's both little reason that someone at CMU would have helped him and that he would have gone to all of that effort if he was just there to scout MSU for M when he could just as easily sat in the stands where he could have gotten much better intel (even if he was somehow recording with a glasses cam from the sidelines, he could have gotten much better quality at a much better angle with a smartphone in the stands) while having much less chance of being detected. That he went to much more effort, and he (plus likely one or more people at CMU as well) took on much more risk, for a much inferior process, makes no sense. The only thing I could think, if his main goal was to aid his prep for M, was that he was trying to live test his intel in a real game, but even still I think he was as much, if not more or entirely, there to help CMU as he was to help M.Joined: 07/22/2008MGoPoints: 24612<ul><li>Log in or register to post comments</li></ul>August 16th, 2024 at 1:24 PM ^See above!

Full of excuses, and the broken fanbase follows.All chips were pushed to the middle for The Game last year - guy managed to get the media to overlook OSU getting run over and bullied the prior two years - hoping to make it all vanish with 1 win. Instead, he lost and was further exposed as a fraud getting out-coached by a coordinator standing in as head coach. Now he has a bought team in attempts to get him over the finish line.

Maybe not a monetary one, but could it bring unwanted attention to the program? Bad PR? Sure, of course it could.It's not like Stalions is going to coach in Montana where people might not know his name as well or might not care. He's coaching literally right down the road from where this all broke. There's plenty of Michigan fans (myself included) who do not care for him and think he almost single-handedly ruined the greatest season in Michigan football history. And then you've got the other half of the state, MSU fans, who think he's the worst thing to happen to college football in the entirety of the sport's existence. Doesn't mean they're right. I'm just saying there will be fans of both sides at that school, so I can't imagine going to work every day will be easy for him or the staff he's working for.

The return of Connor Stalions; local legend hired as defensive coordinator by Mumford HS
