The animated television show 'The Simpsons' recently aired an episode that humorously addressed issues of cheating in sports. In the episode, the show featured a building named the 'Jim Harbaugh Center for Competitive Imbalance,' a clear jest at the University of Michigan's head football coach Jim Harbaugh. The episode also took aim at other sports figures and institutions, including USC and Bill Belichick, with sportscaster Dan Patrick contributing to the satire. The episode's focus on cheating comes in the wake of the Michigan sign-stealing scandal, directly linking Harbaugh to the theme of the show. Additionally, the episode aired alongside two episodes of the TV show 'Tiger Team' titled 'The Car Dealer Takedown' and '24 Karat Caper', which followed a civilian tiger team tackling security challenges.
