The FBI has joined the investigation into allegations against a former assistant football coach at the University of Michigan.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has joined the investigation into allegations against a former assistant football coach at the University of Michigan. The coach is accused of stealing signs from opposing teams, a violation of NCAA rules. The investigation was initially conducted by the NCAA and the Big Ten conference, but the FBI's involvement suggests the potential for criminal charges.

The allegations were first brought to light by a former Ohio State offensive lineman, Dawand Jones. Jones claimed that the Michigan coach used binoculars to steal signs from the Ohio State sideline during games. The coach, who has not been named due to the ongoing investigation, has denied the allegations.

The University of Michigan has not commented on the investigation. The NCAA and Big Ten conference have also not released any statements regarding the FBI's involvement. The FBI's involvement in the case is unusual, as it typically does not get involved in NCAA investigations unless there is a potential for criminal activity. The nature of the potential criminal charges has not been disclosed.
