According to multiple different sources, the University of Michigan is under investigation for sign stealing.
Both the university and the Big Ten were notified by the NCAA on Wednesday of the investigation.
The Big Ten also stated that it has “notified Wolverines future opponents.”
In a statement released by the Big Ten, they said,
“The Big Ten Conference considers the integrity of competition to be of the utmost importance and will continue to monitor the investigation.”
According to Yahoo Sports, Michigan has “allegedly” had people attending the games of future opponents, as well as possible College Football Playoff opponents, to gather information on signs used to call plays on offense and defense.
If, and that is a big if. If this is true, it’s a violation of NCAA Bylaw 11.6.1 which states,
“Off campus, in person scouring of future opponents (in the same season) is prohibited.”
This is just another in a long list of investigations going on into the Michigan football program and into head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Coach Harbaugh served a “university imposed” three game suspension to start the season for recruiting violations during the “COVID-19” dead period, and for not cooperating with NCAA investigators.
The University of Michigan is also still facing four Level 2 violations. They are considered less serious. The ruling on those investigations isn’t expected until 2024.
Speculation on penalties or potential penalties for infractions would be premature at this time.
The #2 ranked Michigan Wolverines (7-0) play against the (2-4) Michigan State Spartans, Saturday night at 7:30 PM (EST) on NBC.
The Wolverines and the Spartans battle for the “Paul Bunyan Trophy” every season.
