So who else needs to be fired? Chris Partridge has only been around this year. Who was the "Chris Partridge" last year and the year before?

Boosters funding the scheme... assistant coaches destroying evidence... but Harbaugh had no clue about any of it.

Oh if that’s true you can expect more than a 3 game suspension as far as sanctions go. That’s getting towards the basketball scandal in the 90’s.

Why is that relevant? It appears Partridge was fired for interfering with the investigation by allegedly destroying or concealing evidence. His predecessor presumably did nothing wrong.

Because Connor Stallions wasn't sending in the signals to the defense himself. Because pictures show he was standing on the sidelines with stacks of paper he clearly didn't generate during the course of that game, feeding information to somebody who clearly didn't want to ask questions that should have been asked about how he knew what he knew.

George Helow was the name of the guy Partridge replaced, FWIW.

I don't find that a big stretch. I'm not saying he didn't know I'm saying its not a stretch just because of where the money may have come from or because a coach destroyed evidence unless the evidence was in Harbaugh's office.

From MGoBlog.com, posted minutes ago:
It appears that the investigation uncovered either prior knowledge of the scheme by Partridge, active cover-up, or both. Several people at Michigan confirmed that the players were interviewed this week. Stalions reported to Partridge, but according to people I've spoken to, there was no evidence prior to this week to show that Partridge knew how Stalions was getting his signs. The timing of this strongly suggests Michigan only recently learned of Partridge's involvement very recently, and that this was a major factor in deciding to settle with the Big Ten.
This is the first mention I've seen of Stalions directly reporting to Partridge.

It is certainly possible Partridge's termination is merely due to his failure to properly monitor the activities of his direct report. However, I think the theories floated by MGoBlog are the more probable explanation.
I appreciate the link. I still want a real news source. MGoBlog.com is owned by "Brian" no last name and the story was done by "Seth" No last name. Seth has racked up 143,849 points in his 15 years as a member of the blog.
Brian Cook and Seth Fisher - this is commonly known. They do a Thursday roundtable on WTKA.

Which in an ironic twist isn't a scandal today. It's perfectly legal under NIL.

Sorry I'm not one of the 10 people who listen to WTKA.
All I know is neither one of them had a last name on the MGoBlog website that I could find.

NCAA investigators reportedly were interviewing players in recent days.
I can't find a legitimate news source to confirm that . Mostly just hearsay from "undisclosed sources" .
If you have a link to a real story I would certainly read it if its free to read.

Who do you think will win the game tomorrow?

FWIW, WTKA only had 18 listeners back in the 90's, so 10 listeners today seems realistic.

They would pull 8% of WJR in Washtanaw at any given time.
