Former Michigan Wolverines football coach Matt Weiss broke his silence after being charged and of hacking into the accounts of thousands of college athletes.
He pushed back on the allegations in court documents obtained by Local 4 on Thursday, June 12, 2026.
Matt took issue with a default judgment granted to the defendants in one lawsuit, as they had claimed he never responded.
Weiss said he never saw the lawsuit because the paperwork was sent to his mother’s home in Connecticut. He argued in the filing, saying,
“A postal employee incorrectly signed for the certified letter and mixed it in with regular mail, whereupon it was misdelivered and then returned to the post office.”
He added,
“A new series of media reports was initiated shortly after the default was entered. This sequence suggests that the default was used not to advance the merits of the case but as a strategic tool to create pressure.”
Weiss is asking the court to toss out the default ruling.
