The University of Michigan's football team has been accused of stealing signs from opposing teams. The allegations were first made public on October 25, 2023, when evidence of the alleged sign-stealing was discovered on the computers of two Michigan football players. The evidence included a series of text messages between the players discussing the stolen signals. The players involved, including quarterback Connor Stalions, have not yet commented on the allegations. The University of Michigan has also not released a statement regarding the accusations. The evidence of the alleged sign-stealing was discovered during a routine check of the players' computers by university officials. The text messages discussing the stolen signals were found in a group chat between the players. The messages included detailed descriptions of the signals used by opposing teams, as well as strategies for using the stolen information during games. The discovery of the messages has led to widespread speculation about the extent of the alleged sign-stealing, with some suggesting that it may have been a widespread practice within the Michigan football team. However, no concrete evidence has been presented to support these claims. The allegations have sparked a debate within the college football community about the ethics of sign-stealing, with some arguing that it is a common practice that is often overlooked. Others, however, have condemned the alleged actions of the Michigan players, arguing that sign-stealing undermines the integrity of the game.
