So, how do we protect the integrity of sports when those in positions of power misuse it for such despicable acts? Let’s dive deeper into this unsettling situation. LEARN MORE.

Jim Harbaugh has finally offered his unfiltered thoughts on a disturbing scandal involving former Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss.  

Weiss has been accused of hacking into medical systems so he could gain information about female college athletes. That allegedly allowed him to gain access to intimate photos that were stored on accounts. 

So far, Weiss is facing 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft. At least three class action lawsuits have been filed by former or current Michigan athletes.  

Here’s more on this situation, via Front Office Sports: 

The federal indictment says Weiss used the third-party company Keffer Development Services that keeps medical records of thousands of college athletes. He researched individuals online to guess passwords and security question information, sometimes of school employees like athletic trainers or athletic directors, which helped him download information and passwords of athletes, which he then un-encrypted.

The indictment says he got access to social media, email, or cloud storage accounts of more than 2,000 athletes “by guessing or resetting their passwords,” after which he “searched for and downloaded personal, intimate photographs and videos that were not publicly shared.”

When Michigan fired Weiss in January of 2023, the school said it was due to “a report of computer access crimes.” 

During the NFL’s Annual League Meeting this week, Harbaugh revealed that he was “shocked” and “disturbed” by this alleged situation involving Weiss. He also shared when he found out about the allegations. 

“Just shocked, completely shocked. Disturbed,” Harbaugh said. “It was after the TCU game that I found out, we found out, that there was allegations. And you said it. I mean, indictment, that’s not a word that — sympathy for the victims and for Matt’s family. It’s shocking.”

Weiss faces up to five years in prison for each count of unauthorized access to computers. Additionally, he faces up to two years in prison for each count of aggravated identity theft. 

Michigan has not commented on this deeply concerning situation.
