The University of Michigan's football team is under investigation for alleged sign-stealing.
The University of Michigan's football team, the Wolverines, is currently under investigation by the NCAA for allegations of sign-stealing. The probe centers around former staffer Connor Stalions, who is accused of purchasing tickets for over 30 games and using illegal technology to steal signs. Stalions has since resigned from his position with the football team.
The Wolverines have submitted evidence alleging that Ohio State, Rutgers, and Purdue shared information about their signals ahead of the Big Ten Championship Game in 2022. The NCAA has also joined Central Michigan's investigation into allegations that Stalions was on CMU's sideline for its season opener against Michigan State.
A former employee at a Big Ten football program has claimed that it was his job to steal signs and he was given details from multiple conference schools before his team played Michigan to compile a spreadsheet of play-calling signals used by the Wolverines last year. The person also passed along screenshots of text-message exchanges with staffers from a handful of Big Ten football teams with Michigan, giving the program proof that other conference teams were colluding to steal signs from the Wolverines.
Despite these allegations, University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh has not been linked to the alleged sign-stealing scandal by the NCAA. Harbaugh faced discipline earlier this season in connection with an NCAA investigation about a low-level recruiting violation. Despite a self-imposed ban at the start of the season for lying to NCAA investigators, Harbaugh is expected to remain with the Wolverines, leading them to a perfect record and potential college football playoffs.
