FWIW, it’s been confirmed that the feds aren’t involved, so the really bad stuff is off the table. Most likely explanation is that he stole someone’s password and used their account without permission.

Federal involvement isn’t necessarily an indicator of the severity of the crime. Someone at a previous school I went to got charged with a federal crime just for changing their grades with improper access to professors’ accounts.

Right, but it does mean that it’s not child porn, which I think was on a lot of people’s minds when they first saw this come out.

The fact that child porn is ruled out I suspect he accessed a grading system to modify key player grades

I believe it’s what he did with that access which will be the bigger issue. Some have suggested he might have used this as a way to fix enrollment issues for incoming players and their families… I’ve also heard recruiting and viewing medical information of other student athletes not in the program.

Rumor that I heard, and I stress this is a rumor, is that Weiss logged into Harbaugh's email account and contacted recruits during the 2020 COVID black out period

That rumor is so incredibly incorrect.

Weiss didn’t even work for Michigan until summer 2021 and the crimes he was fired for occurred between Dec 21 and 23, 2022, according to public record.

He logged into Harbough's computer to see the full Secret Santa so he could drop hints.
