So it turns out I was asking the wrong question to those who I spoke to.
In full transparency, I asked the following question: Did they find any evidence linking an assistant to Connor Stalions operation?
The answer was no. Of course it’s no because it still holds true. There’s no evidence linking anyone to anything yet.
However, I should’ve asked: What did the NCAA have to cause concern?
That, of course, was Chris Partridge impeding an NCAA investigation by telling his players not to cooperate with the NCAA and the attempt to destroy devices. Two major no-no’s and a violation in itself. I can see why Michigan went the route it did, as much as it likely crushed Harbaugh to do so.
Last week was a lesson for me in my young career, explore every avenue and don’t ask the one question you think it is.
