My take: the guy did it on his own, without telling anybody. Harbaugh hired him, and they should have realized what he was up to. Still, I don't think it's a big deal and the program's responsibility, while real, is minimal.
If Ryan Day was the one who turned them in, it's another data point in "Jim Harbaugh has a nice little space in tOSU's head," and I'm here for that every day.
Finally this: if Harbaugh or anybody else in the program lies about this to Michigan's Athletic Department or the NCAA, fire them immediately for cause and don't ever give them another dime.
Right -- both entering an opposing team's stadium to scout (dumb) and recording (not dumb) are against the rules. It's not good. The NCAA will likely make an example out of them. I still don't think it's the reason they've made the playoffs the past two years.
It's also wild that they did this for every B1G opponent. Fly under the radar by cheating against Ohio State and Penn State and move on.

There are defined rules and Michigan appears to have violated them. Whether the rule is right or wrong can be debated, but they still broke the rule.
