This is why I enjoy MAC athletics - nobody has the resources (or cares enough) to try this insane shit. It's just mostly mediocre football played in subprime tv slots, like God intended.


[deleted]

I will never forget going to the CMU WMU game, and a) getting in free and b) having a cop on a horse grab a half gallon of whipped pinnacle vodka out of a girls hand on the sidewalk, take a sniff, say ‘I have never seen that flavor before’, and hand it back. MACtion is what football is about imo

Crasino_Hunk

I went to both Central and Western (don’t ask) and CMU/WMU week in Mount Pleasant my freshman year was one of the most epic shitfests I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Definitely underrated outside the mitten.

Malfallaxx

Honestly I’m just really happy to have a cfb scandal that involves actual football. Obviously this is really bad, but it’s not *bad* bad in the way that makes me feel gross and guilty for watching the sport. Feels really nice to hit F5 and laugh at how crazy some of these new updates are getting


GhanimaAtreides

Idk man, I think my favorite college football scandal of all time is going to be when the UT coach’s stripper side piece’s monkey bit a kid on Halloween.


Malfallaxx

I still think of the name Pole Assassin sometimes and laugh. That was definitely a good one too


GhanimaAtreides

It was one of those scandals that kept giving. Pet monkey bites kid at Halloween party at coaches house. Okay, weird but college coaches can be quirky. The monkey belongs to his girlfriend who met on recruiting trips and then left his wife for. Well that’s interesting. The girlfriend is actually a stripper named Pole Assasin and uses the monkey in her act? Whaaaat the actual fuck


ViscountBurrito

That was an amazing couple days on social media as bits kept trickling out, and it became increasingly impossible to explain to my wife what I was laughing at.


FloweredWallpaper

>and it became increasingly impossible to explain to my wife what I was laughing at. ​ Reason #45812 I love my wife: she may be a bigger sports (and college football) fan than I am, and follows along with stories like Pole Assassin like I did. We can both laugh at the same damned things, and each of us can't wait to share the latest revelation with this or that story to the other.


pimhby

That thread is r/cfb hall of fame. Watching those updates come in was wild


zzdarkwingduck

yeah, as bad as it is, it's refreshing that is doesn't involve a coach whipping their dick out. yet...

[whispers] noted football terrorist Jeff Lebby was caught on the Tulsa sideline in Norman during the 2014 season, before his Baylor team played OU (There was no attempt to hide it, he was just chilling, so apparently he really just didn’t know he couldn’t do that, which…yeah, in hindsight, he didn’t know a whole lot of things about a coach’s responsibilities at that time)

Rc5tr0

Imagine you got tormented by a childhood bully, until one day you beat the shit out of him so badly he tucked his tail and left you alone for about 15 years. Fast forward to adulthood, and out of the blue he’s back in your life. He’s somehow even more obnoxious and arrogant than you remember from your childhood. The worst part is he makes it his mission to call YOU arrogant and obnoxious whenever he can, and everyone else in your life sides with him for reasons you can’t even begin to comprehend. He’s incredibly self-righteous and holier than thou about everything, but somehow you’re the only one who seems to notice it. After two straight years of this agony, it comes out that he’s been running a Ponzi scheme this entire time. His self-righteous bullshit was exactly that, bullshit. He built his entire life around the idea that he’s better than you, and it was a complete and utter sham. And everyone knows it. That’s how this feels.

bruggibuster

Yeah, I was part of that thread on the Ducks forum earlier, and it was wild how everything fell into place this afternoon. Within about two hours, we went from a poster mentioning he saw this guy filming at the UW game last year to getting confirmation Michigan had sent someone to that game and the seats were on the same side of the field as where the poster took the photo.


Dead_Baby_Kicker

Thank you Ducks for providing evidence to uphold our conference's integrity. Your service has been noted.


bruggibuster

Man, we’re not even in the Big 10 yet and this conference is insane.


Dead_Baby_Kicker

I promise this isn't a normal season lol. Usually we make fun of Iowa's offense, Nebraska's one score game record, and argue about who has the best corn.

No one knew what 2 decades of OSU dominance could do to UM. Well, now we know.


Dead_Baby_Kicker

Cheatbaugh couldn't take being fired by his alma mater and the school he loved. Now he may end up killing it lol.


InVodkaVeritas

>he and the others were never allowed to talk to Harbaugh directly about it Nothing says "everything we're doing is in accordance with the rules" like making sure you don't talk about it around the people who will need plausible deniability later.

It is no secret my fanbase sucks but I will always hold that michigan is just as bad and much more arrogant.

Being an alum of Loyola Chicago (endured Michigan fans in person at the final four in San Antonio) and being from Cincinnati (lived and died by UC, couldn’t stand OSU growing up), Michigan fans are entirely worse on a different level.

I also need to see it. For evidence reasons.


xtototo

Ugh! You mean they posted on one of those disgusting ex-B1G Champion websites!? I mean, there are so many of them though. Which one did they post them on?


CutLinkOfficial

so that last one either proves Harbaugh was in on it, or proves he isn't - magic johnson


Dead_Baby_Kicker

No way Harbaugh didn't know. Minter was getting info from him on the opening drive of The Game last year using his laminated sheets. No way they were not pre prepared.

Holy cow if those photos are legit, how stupid is Michigan to not even attempt to hide what they were doing?

Lmao holy fucking shit. This is wild


Dead_Baby_Kicker

Totally was just a lone actor though right?


The_Astros_Cheated

This is so bad lol. The only hope Michigan has to not get fired into the sun is praying there isn’t a paper trail of payments from the coaching staff or anyone outside of Stallions in the university. They MIGHT be able to get away from more severe punishment if that is the case. If not, then it’s show cause violations and the program gets nuked from orbit.


whatifevery1wascalm

>praying there isn't a paper trail of payments from the coaching staff or anyone outside of Stallions You mean like Venmo receipts?


Dead_Baby_Kicker

Could probably directly talk to venmo, especially if Vegas gets involved cause then feds might get involved. Supposedly one major sportsbook has been advised to take michigan off the books but idk about the source on that one.


Jarich612

If the gaming commission gets involved (I don’t think they will and I think the post here is bunk) then all bets are off. That’s federal agents poking around your shit.


Dead_Baby_Kicker

If any of these people get reached out to they probably have receipts. Hell, they even say michigan was financing everything. The vast network really was real lol.


MindIfILeaveThisHere

Nothing substantial has come from the 2015-2019 timeframe where Connor was "volunteering" his time. Feels like allegations before 2021 would release a new tier of fucked Certainly expect reporters are going to dig up what he was actually doing all that time, and potentially his role at Navy as well.


InVodkaVeritas

Last week this was a "haha, let's mock Michigan but nothing will come of it" story. Yesterday this was an "I'm sure they'll catch a fine and maybe Harbaugh gets a game or two tacked on to his suspension next season." This evening this is a "Holy shit, Michigan might get banned from the conference championship and postseason by the Big Ten despite being the #2 ranked team in the country."


Malfallaxx

Couldn’t agree anymore. Up until a few days ago I thought this was just a fun story being blown up by Ohio State flairs and shitposts, but we’re officially in batshit bonkers territory and I love it. Whenever I see the newest update I legitimately don’t know how it can get any worse but somehow it does!

Dead_Baby_Kicker

If you offer a college kid a free football ticket, plane ticket, hotel, food, and a bit of cash any of em will do it.

Wow. This is genuinely impressive detective work.


Dead_Baby_Kicker

I can't take all the credit, one of our forums has been great at this. I just want to share it with reddit.


ill_try_my_best

The dates on these posts are wild. How did they get away with it for so long?


Dead_Baby_Kicker

One rumor at each team's forum. Nobody saw all of them enough to start drawing conclusions.

Leraldoe

We are seeing lots of stuff like this, I am wondering how this stayed this quite this long.and what really was the straw that broke the camels back for the info to flow


Dead_Baby_Kicker

All isolated at different schools. Nobody knew so many message boards had these issues so they were likely dismissed.


RedDevil50

> Normal Oregon Duck Fan The fan who posted that on our board said that was his brother who caught that guy and confronted him. His brother reached out to the AD to let them know but never heard from them after that. He said his brother is contacting them first thing tomorrow with this picture lol.


Dead_Baby_Kicker

The Ducks are upholding the sanctity of our conference. For real though this shit is wild.


snowwwaves

lol I cannot imagine confronting some rando in the stadium for filming a televised game, god bless your brother.


bruggibuster

Well, there’s actually a whole video of the confrontation and the guy filming, but the poster just posted a screen grab because he couldn’t upload the video.

AtalanAdalynn

The writers would look at this and go, "NO one will believe anyone is this stupid."


stoopkid99

I actually feel bad for them. If Oklahoma got caught doing this I would probably react the same way. I feel like most fans would if it was their team. Accepting the reality that this is actually fucking insane and a huge deal is not a pleasant train of thought if this is a team you have supported your whole life. This is an unprecedented situation. One that the NCAA will have to set a precedent for that will deter any team from doing something like this again. That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if the punishment is extremely severe. If it’s not, other teams will try to cheat in any way they can (and do a better job of hiding it) and use this situation as the benchmark for how they should be punished if they get caught.


SirMellencamp

I totally get the reaction from Michigan fans


jobenattor0412

At this point I can either roll with the punches and joke about it or delete Reddit, so since I’m still interested in football I guess I’ll just keep suffering


Electrical_Ingenuity

As someone with experience with a program run by idiots for years at a time, it helps to remember it’s a fucking game that, at best, gives you a shot of endorphins to make it through until Wednesday for a few weeks every year. Good luck.
