Arrested the week of the Tennessee game. Nice.

Stealing losing secrets is a crime now?

No competitive advantage gained does not equal a crime.

Knowing exactly what not to do is absolutely a competitive advantage.

Stole it so people could laugh at it or to show them what not to do?

Wonder which opponents?

And if it turns outs some of those opponents are members of the SEC, what punishments, if any, would Sankey hand down?

He’s a complete idiot for trying this. Most schools don’t want information this way and one of them obviously turned him in.

Pretty much. That’s why I’m interested to know which opponents bought this information.

This could turn into a big story.
