Michigan has just been hit with a lawsuit by female students from the university, alleging that the university, Jim Harbaugh, and President Santa Ono knew about former offensive coordinator Matt Weiss' illegal computer activities and still let him coach a bowl game.
The details in the lawsuit are disturbing, if proven true. They allege that instead of firing Weiss once they found out what he did, or even suspending him, they waited until after the Fiesta Bowl in 2022 to do anything about it. Ohio State football fans are totally disgusted by this.
Weiss was found to have illegally obtained thousands of explicit images from hundreds of students at Michigan. It's truly awful stuff, and yet Harbaugh allegedly let him keep coaching. If this lawsuit is true, then the university needs to be held fully accountable, just as Ohio State does with the Richard Strauss stuff.
Ohio State football fans react on social media to the latest Michigan lawsuit
Fans of the Ohio State Buckeyes took to social media to voice their disgust towards the university and Harbaugh, who is now the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Buckeyes have their own issues with the current administration, trying everything they can to avoid paying out lawsuits involved in the Strauss situation. Ohio State needs to learn from TTUN and not make things harder than they need to be, and get closure for the victims.
Harbaugh already has a five-year show cause, so he will not be coaching in college football ever again. Santa Ono tried to leave Michigan for Florida before the board of regents voted not to accept him. It seems things are starting to crumble around TTUN.
Ohio State needs to beat them on the field in 2025 for a truly sad experience for fans. Their fans deserve nothing less after supporting a guy who allowed cheating and something like this.
