Michigan Alumni & Players Get Urgent Warning as Ex-Coach’s Indictment Shakes Sherrone Moore & Co. Amid Sign-Stealing Saga

Sherrone Moore and Michigan have been in the limelight for their crazy recruitment wins last year, including the $10 million Bryce Underwood leap. But now all their preseason progress and some big damage control moves following a 9-4 season looked hollow as a former school faithful garnered some serious litigation over his head. During the growing NIL influence in the portal, an ex-Michigan co-coordinator finds himself in the middle of the deep sea with a terrible hacking charge at more than 100 universities.

We are talking about a past co-offensive coordinator of the Wolverines, Matt Weiss. The 42-year-old Michigan veteran has been accused of 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of identity theft. He is facing a maximum of five years imprisonment on each count of unauthorized access to computers and two years on each count of aggravated identity theft. As per the authority source, Weiss’s crime isn’t an overnight quirk; it’s rather a planned crime spanning over a decade, affecting at least 150,000 student-athletes (most of them turned out to be females) with valuable credentials.

Amidst this chaos, RJ Young had a suggestion for all the Michigan ex- and present students who had a potential risk of falling victim to the scandal. ”If you are a player or an alumnus or somebody that was associated with the University of Michigan, where they might have had access to that information, you might want to go find out if you’re a part of this and if there’s anything that can be done. Because right now it’s frankly damage control on your part. I think, and I’m sure that the Department of Justice is doing what they need to do,” the analyst came clean on his part to alert the kids as college football faithful. But he assures that the humiliating incident won’t make much impact on the sports, at all.
