The fact that the Skunk Bear President is pushing the BIG to not take action and going so far as to threaten action if they do is an indication that they are in the process of a cover-up.  It is not in question as to whether or not they had an elaborate and illegal scheme to steal signals from opponents thus violating the following:

• Advanced in-person scouting of opponents (NCAA)
• Use of electronic surveillance devices to record opponents (NCAA)
• Violation of the BIG Sportsmanship Policy

Jim Harbaugh put himself in a box when he claimed that he had no knowledge or involvement without knowing the extent of what evidence was already in the possession of those investigating (similar to "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinski" and the blue dress in her closet).  The University could have looked at this objectively and taken immediate action; however, they are choosing instead to push this off on one guy to take the fall (similar to Ollie North for Iran Contra).  

No reasonable person can see all the evidence:

• Connor Stalions (CS) holding sheets of opponent signs to open the game
• CS standing next to the OC and DC respectively and telling them the opponents calls
• CS on the sideline of a former Harbaugh assistant's team wearing their coaches "outfit" and using recording glasses (no low level staffer is getting on that sideline and the allowed to be next to their coaches without the HC approving it and no HC is approving it for a low level staffer of another team unless some other coach with status asked for a favor
• Venmo cash payment records
• Video evidence of people that CS paid in seats recording games

And believe that Jim Harbaugh had no involvement.  One game maybe, but this was a deep and systemic cheating scheme that occurred over 3 seasons.  It is also interesting that it coincides with the skunks going on a 21 game conference win streak and back-to-back Playoff Appearances/Conference Titles after a 2-4 season.  

The University is going to assist in pushing this onto CS and claiming it was all him.  They think they can do this because the news cycle will move on and people will have selective memory aided by a corrupt media.
