A lawsuit has brought attention to Coach Jim Harbaugh of the Los Angeles Chargers, accusing him and the University of Michigan of negligence related to a former assistant coach, Matt Weiss, who allegedly hacked into the private accounts of college athletes to find intimate images. Despite being aware of Weiss's actions, Harbaugh and university officials allowed him to participate in a national playoff game. Weiss now faces serious criminal charges, including identity theft, for accessing the accounts of over 2,000 athletes.

Lead attorney Parker Stinar argues that the university's inaction reflects a disregard for student welfare, particularly since it occurred just before a high-stakes game. Weiss was reportedly seen viewing confidential information days before the playoff match against Texas Christian University. The legal implications for Harbaugh and the university could be significant, especially if the court finds they failed to protect student-athletes from harm.
