According to prosecutors, Weiss was accused of unauthorized access to student athlete databases of more than 100 colleges and universities between 2015 and 2023. He allegedly gained access to these databases through a third-party vendor, and then downloaded personal information and data of over 150,000 athletes.

Weiss is facing a maximum of five years imprisonment for each of the unauthorized access charges and up to two years for each count of identity theft. Each charge of unauthorized access to computers also comes with a $250,000 fine.

As a former coach at top-ranked programs such as Michigan, Stanford, and the Baltimore Ravens, Weiss's actions have raised serious questions about the safety and security of student athletes in college sports.
