NCAA investigating No. 2 Michigan amid sign-stealing allegations

The Michigan Wolverines football program, which is ranked No. 2, is being investigated by the NCAA amid allegations of sign stealing.

www.espn.com

A source told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg that the NCAA's investigation also includes allegations of similar violations by Michigan prior to the 2022 season.

Prior to 2022, eh?

Oh man wouldn't that be just terrible if they got all their wins rescinded and fell behind us?

 

[Huntr]

I doubt anything meaningful happens but this is entertaining shit.

 

[NDFAN2008]

They should have to vacate any wins plus banned for 3 years from bowl games

Can you imagine if they get caught and the wins aren't vacated?

 

[KPENN]

I don't think signal stealing is illegal per se. The issue is that there are ways you can do it that are legal, and ways that aren't.

Clemson is that dude who can count cards naturally and is able to get a slight upper hand in Vegas. Michigan is using a hidden card counting device on his person and it appears might have just been caught with it by the pit boss.

I believe it was connected to Venables specifically.

Does anybody around here remember the rumors than Alabama had ND's signals in the 2012 game?

Could have sworn it was Venables. It's actually not illegal to steal signals in-game unless you do it electronically. It is absolutely not allowed to send people off-campus to scout. It's a bit unclear to what extent Michigan was doing this, but The Athletic mentioned that the Big Ten has video evidence showing Michigan had knowledge of what play the opposing team was going to run.

Harbaugh's done a tremendous job of keeping Michigan relevant despite the most pathetic schedule ever. Just enough "trouble" to stay in the spotlight, yet none that incites real risk. Well played by scum.

It was Venables - probably still does it.

It's the reason Tommy didn't get our offense into their formations till very late in the count the year we beat them when Lawrence sat out.

Cheaters never win unless they are the Astros or Patriots.

Miami had access to our radio connection in the 2017 game.

That's the first I've heard of this one. Do you remember where you heard it?

It was. And it came from Ryan Day.

A close friend of mine worked with the team at the time

Sounds very Patriots + Belichick-esque

 

[LSWho?]

There is no precedent for what the investigation + punishment of this would look like, right?

Well the Bama OL after the game said the ND defense was so basic and understandable that by just watching game tape they knew all ND’s adjustments and thus it was easy for them to counter everything ND showed them

He's a salad bar Christian. Takes the stuff that works for him and leaves whatever he doesn't want.

Time for Harbaugh to make a Poodle like escape to the NFL.

WELCOME TO CHICAGO!

So it sounds like they are being accused of and investigated for 1) in-person scouting future opponents, 2) actually filming the sideline in the process, and 3) using electronic devices to communicate with UM's sideline during games. Spicy.
