Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh watches against Purdue in the first half of an NCAA college football game in Ann Arbor, Mich., Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023.
The employee said he shared with Michigan the documents, which showed the Wolverines’ signs and corresponding plays, after his school faced the Jim Harbaugh-led program in 2022. No. 2 Michigan is already the subject of an NCAA investigation into an alleged impermissible, in-person scouting and sign-stealing scheme. A former low-level staffer, Connor Stalions, allegedly attended and also sent people to opponents’ games to record video that was used to decode their in-game signals.
The NCAA doesn’t outlaw sign-stealing, but it has rules against in-person scouting and using electronic equipment to steal signs, and some of the allegations against Michigan suggest an organized and well-funded approach. Harbaugh has denied any knowledge of the scheme and the school says it is cooperating with the NCAA.
Commissioner Tony Petitti met by video call with angry and frustrated Big Ten coaches and athletic directors last week. The ADs discussed possible punishments for Michigan, focusing on a potential suspension of Harbaugh and other coaches. With the investigation hanging over Harbaugh and his team, Manuel said he would not be traveling to North Texas to participate in the College Football Playoff selection committee meeting this week.
