The allegation was contained in a lawsuit by 11 female students at UM and other schools that added former football coach Jim Harbaugh as a defendant along with former President Santa Ono and Athletic Director Warde Manuel and others, including former President Mark Schlissel. The lawsuit filed by the women, who are referred to as "Jane Does" and all but one of whom was a student-athlete, is an amended version of a civil complaint initially filed in March in federal court in Detroit.

The lawsuit alleges an unnamed UM staff member saw Weiss viewing private information belonging to the female students between Dec. 21-23, 2022, at Schembechler Hall, the nerve center of UM's football team. The staffer reported it to university officials before the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31, 2022, which UM lost, 51-45, to Texas Christian University.

"In this way, the university placed profits before people, particularly women and female student athletes," lawyers for the women wrote in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit offers a harsh portrayal of Harbaugh, who led Michigan to a national championship in 2023 in his ninth season, and describes harm suffered by the female college students whose private information was hacked. For several victims, including a professional soccer player, that harm includes being deprived of using their name, image and likeness or the valuable data being compromised and sold.

鈥淗arbaugh led and encouraged a culture within the football program that resulted in a complete lack of oversight or protection for non-football student athletes,鈥� the lawsuit alleges. 鈥淗ad Harbaugh implemented basic oversight of his staff, plaintiffs ... would have been protected against predators such as Weiss.鈥�

Harbaugh, Manuel and others failed to act to protect students, the lawsuit alleges.

鈥淣aming Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and Athletic Director Warde Manuel in this complaint reflects our belief that leadership at the highest levels either knew of these threats or deliberately ignored them, prioritizing athletic prestige and profit over the safety and dignity of students,鈥� one of the women's lawyers, Parker Stinar, said in a statement.

A UM spokesman did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment.

The lawsuit is one of at least 13 civil cases filed against Weiss by lawyers representing more than 80 female student athletes nationwide.

The allegations surfaced three months after Weiss was indicted in federal court and accused of gaining illegal access to a database of student-athletes at more than 100 colleges and universities that was maintained by a third-party company. Weiss is accused of downloading personal information and medical data of more than 150,000 athletes and using that information to obtain access to the social media, email and cloud storage accounts of more than 3,000 athletes and download personal intimate digital photographs and videos "that were never intended to be shared beyond intimate partners," federal prosecutors said.

Meanwhile, the criminal case was filed more than two years after The Detroit News revealed an investigation involving Weiss and alleged computer crimes inside the football team's offices on campus. Weiss was fired in January 2023.

The case describes crimes that spanned parts of eight years and victimized athletes in Michigan, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and students at universities large 鈥� the University of Michigan 鈥� and small 鈥� including Westmont College, a private, Christian liberal arts college in California with about 1,300 undergrads.

In all, Weiss is charged with 24 counts: 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft. If convicted, he faces up to five years on each computer charge and two years on each identity theft charge.

Manuel concealed details about how private and intimate information belonging to student athletes was hacked, the lawsuit alleges.

鈥淢anuel鈥檚 actions show athletic success in the football program and avoiding bad publicity are more important than full transparency to female student athletes, none of whom play football,鈥� the lawsuit reads.

University officials later notified victims that their information had been hacked but concealed Weis鈥檚 identity, according to the lawsuit.

Weiss is accused of hacking into the personal accounts of thousands of college athletes and stealing candid photos and videos by compromising the passwords of accounts belonging to trainers and athletic directors. That stolen data includes photos and videos showing college students engaged in explicit sexual acts, according to the government.

Harbaugh and others, including Manuel and the former UM presidents, have not been forthcoming to victims, the lawsuit alleges.

鈥淓vidently, the university parties did not regret the events deeply enough to provide the student athletes with the critical detail of who committed the acts, or tell plaintiffs, who are predominantly female student athletes, the entire truth, including that the 鈥榯hreat actor鈥� was university employee Weiss 鈥�,鈥� the lawsuit reads.

Weiss was hired by Harbaugh from the Baltimore Ravens to coach Michigan鈥檚 quarterbacks in February 2021 and was later promoted to co-offensive coordinator with current head coach Sherrone Moore.

Weiss made a $600,000 annual base salary in 2021 and signed a three-year contract extension in early 2022 that bumped his pay to $850,000. Weiss spent 12 seasons (2009-20) on the Ravens staff for head coach John Harbaugh, Jim Harbaugh鈥檚 older brother. Weiss was a graduate assistant at Stanford University (2005-08), where he had previously worked for Jim Harbaugh.

Jim Harbaugh left UM in early 2024 to coach the Los Angeles Chargers in the National Football League.
