How can you be investigated for something that isn’t against the rules

Harbaugh is having himself quite a year

Can’t say he’s not trying.

NCAA didn’t like those “we should give money to players with the TV revenue” comments!

It is against the rules to do in-person, advance scouting of future opponents and potential future opponents, which is what they're being investigated for.

Harbaugh is a dirtbag but how is this cheating?

Alabama gonna have to forfeit their 46 titles pre Saban!

Apparently Schiano is the one who filed the complaint. Color me skeptical.

Can't go in-person to scout future/potential future opponents. It's explicitly stated in an NCAA by-law.

He isn't being investigated for figuring the other team's signals during games, which is not only legal but I'd question a team that isn't trying to do it.

Thanks for the clarification.

Jim Harbaugh popped again for alleged cheating. It's time to drop the self-righteous act.

Jim Harbaugh is in a snit with the NCAA over potential rules violations that were petty, avoidable and ultimately stupid if they indeed took place.

Oh. I’m sorry. We can’t just buy a ticket and watch a game against Nebraska and Louisiana Tech on a crisp Saturday in Lincoln?

I thought this was America.

In person scouting is prohibited. Schools voted this in themselves for a reason (costs most likely). Regardless, if most schools obey the rule but one doesn’t, shouldn’t the one not obeying be punished?

You can buy a ticket and watch a game, you can’t pay for or have someone on staff buy a ticket specifically to record and figure out the signals of a future opponent.

There’s kind of a big difference….

It’s the same thing as what the Patriots did sending staffers to other team’s games and having them record the sideline instead of the game. They had a videographer get caught at a Bengals-Browns game and few years back and the Patriots were fined $1M and a draft pick taken away. It’s pretty cut and dry cheating in both college and NFL.

Harbaugh is stupid
