Regarding Harbaugh’s alleged lying: Is it possible Weis was caught erasing evidence of that very allegation? That would amount to a crime, I believe, if he was destroying evidence.

Kiddies would be feds. This is campus police. I am betting that he was accessing records to stalk a student or staffer.

The other, and juicier (from our perspective) idea would be that he altered grades to keep a player eligible using someone else's account.   But I'm still betting on stalking.

Often times computer forensics personnel have to sift thru millions of bits/files to uncover hidden evidence. It’s common for an arrest not to happen upon execution of a SW. Especially if the suspect doesn’t make incriminating statements.

Poisonous Nuts, while the term “computer crimes” is broad, it definitely includes child pornography. I’m LE and our office includes the Computer Crimes Unit which is solely CP. 

To answer the other poster, feds aren’t the only level of LE that handles CP. I’ve smashed plenty of doors for our local CP detectives on state search warrants. Our Computer Crimes Unit, and others in our office, carry federal credentials in addition to our police creds. I’m assuming UM has its own police force that has the authority to search UM with and without a warrant, depending on circumstances. They could have discovered a file/partial file and turned it over to better equipped local LE. You’d be shocked at the amount of IP addresses that show up on our CCU’s radar. To assist CCU we’ve knocked dozens of doors belonging to successful/professional types. 
 

For humanities sake I hope he’s not under investigation for CP but to me that’s what “computer crimes” means.

HS
Urbane Meijer's picture

"Computer Access" just doesn't read as cp.  That reads as "looking at records he didn't have a valid work reason to do" possibly with someone else's password. 

HS
Six six three's picture

Computer-related crimes can include things like improper access to computers or programs, said Birmingham criminal defense attorney Wade Fink.
 

Not to argue but that’s his defense attorney saying that. You don’t pay him to say, “My client is accused of being a pedo.” 

Police don’t search your house for stealing a coworkers password to look up files you don’t have access to. Wording like “improper access to computer programs” and “looking at records he doesn’t have access to” is a lot of words to say nothing.

But, something tells me we will all know the story pretty soon! 

HS
Kernfan's picture

I can see that if it was just campus police, but the ESPN article mentions unmarked police cars searching his house. If other law enforcement is involved, assuming a guy making $850,000 base salary isn't involved in financial crimes, the first things I would think of were child porn or some type of stalking.  But if the University computers are considered government computers (since its a public school), then regular porn is probably illegal to view, but if he only viewed/downloaded in one instance I would be shocked since the cops are involved.

Going back a few years, I remember an MLB scout getting in hot water for using his credentials from a former team to access their database for use with his new team. Computer access crimes was a term used in that investigation too, so it could be something along those lines (i.e. hacking of some flavor).

HS
CandygramForMongo's picture

Supposedly, it only involves Weiss, whatever he did. He’s done.

HS
High Street Street Fighter's picture

That was the first thing I thought when I saw "computer access" that he was logging in under another person's name & PW at another university (maybe a former employer?) to get  info about a recruit, NIL money, game plans, etc.

It's interesting how one of the articles I read said Weis was recently out recruiting which leads me to believe it might not be really nefarious. Is he married? I could see how he was trying to log-into a woman's account (maybe a TTUN student or professor)? This would bring in the university police.  

Either way, it's negative publicity and it's funny......so far!

HS
YoungBossBuckeye's picture

Something tells me that he was probably trying to hack into someone's computer for information. If this was something insidious like kiddie porn, he would've been fired. An investigation like that would be open and shut. I'm sure this will get cleared up and swept under the rug like Mazi Smith's insane gun ammunition collection, because they're MICHIGAN MEN, bitch, they do things the right way!

eh, something tells me they're not going to search your home over something that's not "insidious."

not buying it. They're not sending unmarked cops to your home with a search warrant for hacking into an e-mail.

there's something more nefarious...probably the reason for the hacking.

AZbucks77's picture

In regards to Weiss if it ends up being what some are speculating, and you add on the NCAA issues with that program; you have to think Harbaugh will most likely be gone as well.  Whether warranted or not, Harbaugh will get tied into the Weiss thing in some shape or form from an oversight perspective; and the PR nightmare will be too much for the University to deal with if they keep Harbaugh.  No way Harbaugh survives that in my opinion. 

Edit:  Looks like it most likely isn't what has been speculated, still though not a good look for Harbaugh.  A lot of people in that administration have to be asking "who has oversight of this program?"  

HS

Harbaugh is mentally ill and ruins relationships. Harbaugh got denied by the NFL for 2 reasons. First, you don't win in today's NFL with a heavy run first offense. Second, he blows up every professional relationship. One phone call to the 49ers and it's over. Think about it. Three straight conference championships and he gets asked to leave. Just how big of a dickhead is he that the win crazy NFL says no thanks to that record.

HS
High Street Street Fighter's picture

Are you saying an entity called "Old Pro" bought his house? I'm not saying this is what happened, but a lot of high profile people purchase their homes using a newly created LLC to try to prevent folks from finding them on the auditor's page. Zac Taylor did this in Cinti.....it took me a little while but I was able to find him....it's under an LLC. Nothing nefarious.....I was just curious where he lived when he said he dropped a playoff football at his neighborhood bar last year.

HS
buckeyeupnorth's picture

I realize that Old Pro Trust that is the title holder of the house may very well be Weiss. But I am curious regarding his situation, as to whether that is true Or if someone connected or actually employed by Michigan bought it for him to live as another perk outside of his contract with Michigan. Remember Weiss is a state employee and subject to state employee rules.

I hate to speculate but….(proceeds to speculate): 

Wouldn’t be shocked if there is a female (either co-ed or faculty/staff) somewhere underneath all of this. Also wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if there were some eligibility shenanigans being worked out quietly and behind the scenes. Hard to quite figure out how the friendly home visit plays into the grades aspect so maybe the fraternization idea holds more water with what little we know at this time. 

HS
buckeyeupnorth's picture

I don’t know for certain but this allegation appears separate from the NCAA investigation. The complaint regarding computer access violation appears to have been reported by a UM involved person. The fact Michigan took the step of placing him on leave is an indication he appears to have violated the university employee rules, which will be handled by HR.  The NCAA may get involved if his violation includes recruits, players etc. Also another issue that Harbaugh  is not properly supervising his team and coaches which the new rule from the NCAA includes whether he knows of their violations or not.

HS
Six six three's picture

This is speculation on my part but it’s educated speculation. It’s not inconceivable that UM seized/forensically examined school owned phones as part of the NCAA investigation and turned what they found over to police. IF, yes that’s a speculative IF, they found CP they are legally bound to call the police as educators are mandated reporters. None of us are UM fans here but CP (which is my speculation) is particularly heinous. I hope to god in 2023 the administration wouldn’t kick that to the curb.

Here's a link to a good Maize n' Brew article explaining the known facts and what Michigan law is on unauthorized computer access: https://www.maizenbrew.com/football/2023/1/18/23560337/matt-weiss-police-investigation-michigan-wolveirnes-university-police-department-computer-access

Seems unlikely he would use a University computer to commit internet crimes since he could do so from home with more anonymity. The house search is curious but could be because they want to show he has items  on his home computer that were illegally obtained from the illegal access to the university computers. What that might be is anyone's guess.

So, it's a hacking crime.  What did exact university system he hack and why?

(1) Did he hack the system to change grades? Seem most plausible. Timeline fits (end of term grades would be due before Xmas). 

(2) Also potential... he hacked the system to stalk a COED. We've seen plenty of coaches and coed stories over the years (Arkansas, Auburn come to mind).

(3) Longer shot... he hacked the system to get some dirt on the admin he could use as leverage. Football team and admin at UM have had a contentious relationship, especially during COVID.

The question you have to ask is what would drive a powerful guy like Weis to break into other TSUN email addresses? Men do dumb things usually for just a few reasons: (i) women and the promise of sex, (ii) money and influence/power and (iii) food. I think we can safely rule out #3 so that leaves #1 and #2.

 #1: women have taken down many, many good men and it's why I asked up thread if Weis was married. Not that married guys don't cat around but I think a non-married coach might be more apt to do wreckless things for sex. Are there scenarios where a guy would want to hack a woman's email? Heck yes. I can think of many reasons such as wanting to see what other guys she's been emailing or what she's said about him to others. Online stalking kind of stuff.

#2: Money and influence/power: He could have been motivated to see what other coaches, administrators, etc. have been saying about him. Weis made over $1.0 million last year, and he's got a very wealthy father, so he's not hurting for cash, but maybe he's doing GoT things and trying to sabotage other coach(es)? 

It feels like there's going to be a very simple, but very stupid, reason to  explain it. This is a guy who literally had the world by the balls. Mid-thirties, millionaire, wealthy parents, high profile job.......and threw it all away. I'm guessing a young lady is involved.

All good points.

Does drugs/addiction belong on that list possibly above food?

Sticking with the women/sex angle, it’s also possible he was arranging these things for recruits or current players. I know it’s all hefty speculation, but where does it fall on that razor?

Hmm

Oh yea, drugs/alcohol/addiction speed up 1,000x dumb things guys do for sex and money/power/influence.

The whole "computer access" thing talked about in the police report is what's generating a lot of questions from the peanut gallery. What does it exactly mean? I'm interpreting it as he hacked into other people's email accounts but maybe that's wrong? Bottom line, is he did something criminal in nature or I don't think it ever goes public.

You'd think just logging in to check someone's emails would get swept under the rug with such a high profile and successful coach like Weis. He must have done something  more edgier once he got in there or had really bad intentions which became criminal in nature. What kinds of things can't get swept under the rug? Harassment comes to mind.....anything that might lead to the university getting sued if they don't report it. 

It's a real life NCIS.

Many years ago I believe the AD at Hilliard Bradley was charged with embezzlement of school funds because he was taking some money from AD fundraisers and putting them into a private account of his own.  When asked why he did this, he answered that he wanted some money to use that his wife wouldn't know about.

This has the look of Lack of Institutional Control more and more. Weiss committed this crime on U of Michigan Computers at the Schembechler Center. The Lack of Institutional Control is a charge that coaches very rarely survive!!  https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wol...

This is about the possibility that emails were accessed on campus servers. That’s what i read any way

If emails were accessed illegally then something nefarious was done with the content of those emails. Bunch of unmarked undercover cops don't kick down your door and raid your house for just looking at an email you shouldn't have. Nobody is buying that bullshit. Maybe got into a coeds email and stole her nude photos and videos?

Glad to see that Mich didn't continue to try and sweep this under the rug. Wonder if they had a chat with the police about what was found and figured they better get ahead and get this done.

I did like that they said there would be no further comment, as if that will shut down the questions.

What’s to say they aren’t still trying to sweep something under the rug? What if he got a golden parachute to be fired, nothing confirming he was fired with cause. What if he is truly the fall guy to cover up something much greater and this is the way they make it go away.

Matt Weiss wasn't fired for what he did, he was fired for getting caught. Harbaugh runs a rouge football program hiding behind the aura and pristine academic image of Michigan where they hide players arrested during the season for felony gun possession until after the last game is played. Harbaugh himself just got caught violating NCAA rules and now the Weiss affair. Michigan is breaking so many rules the NCAA may have to put Ohio State back on probation.

Poster on MGO said he used Harbaughs email account to email recruits, presumably without Jims knowledge.  According to other posters, said poster has hit on a couple other things which makes them think he/she has sources.

I mean I'm finding it hard to believe we get a search of home over using a Coach's email to send recruits messages.. That seems like a cut and dry thing that indeed would result in termination, however, don't see a search warrant for his residence being needed.  The illicit photos to unwanting females though.. Yeah probably gonna come after you a little harder.

Dick pics would explain a lot. 

Men are dumb. Just flat out dumb. Throw away a +1.0 million/year job----he could have had pretty much any girl he wanted but he had to send her dick pics? Pussy galore claims another victim.

When are guys going to realize that women are not visual creatures like we are. They don't get as fired up about nude images. Sending her a picture of his big house or a romantic table at his favorite Anne Arbor restaurant would have been a lot more effective.

Edit: I don't think sending emails from Jimmy H's account would necessarily be criminal bringing in the campus cops. A fireable offense? Sure but it wouldn't bring in the cops.

HS
OhioAgainstTheWorld34's picture

Exactly High Street. I'm with you.

HS
High Street Street Fighter's picture

Ohio ATW: looks like we posted at the same time. Agreed emailing from Jimmy H's account to recruits would probably be something they would try to sweep under the rug and tell him to find another job ASAP or fire him but give a broad reason for it. Specifically saying he broke into Harbaugh's email looks like Jimmy might not have complete control over the program.

But sending highly offensive dick pics to a University employee and then break into her email to erase it? Wow. That's about as a fireable offense as there is. TTUN probably waited a few weeks to fire him just to allow the police to gather evidence and confirm the dick pics and breaking into her email via an internet forensics audit.

It's a real shit storm in A2 right now.
