Rumors swirling Jim Harbaugh could face suspension
Could opposing teams have stolen Michigan's signals in a similar manner as the Wolverines are accused of doing? A former staffer at another Big Ten school says "yes," according to an Associated Press report Monday.A former football staffer at one of Michigan’s Big Ten opponents compiled a spreadsheet of the Wolverines’ signs relayed to him from other schools,
The former staffer also told The AP that he had shared documents and text message screenshots showing Michigan’s plays and signals with the Wolverines, reportedly because he believes Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh “and his coaches are being unfairly blamed for the actions of a rogue staffer.” It’s the latest twist in the ongoing sign-stealing scandal that has consumed the last three weeks at one of the top programs in college football this season.
Big Ten football coaches and athletics directors reportedly held separate meetings last week with conference commissioner Tony Petitti, who is under pressure to issue some sort of discipline to Michigan. However, given the money and television exposure at stake, it’s considered unlikely the conference will declare the Wolverines ineligible for the conference championship game or the postseason.
Michigan is 9-0 and ranked No. 3 in the College Football Playoff Top 25 headed into Saturday’s game at No. 9 Penn State. The Wolverines also have remaining games at Maryland on Nov. 18 and at home vs. top-ranked Ohio State on Nov. 25 before possible berths in the Big Ten championship game and the playoff.
