Michigan implicates 3 other Big Ten schools in sign-stealing fiasco

Purdue allegedly received Michigan’s signals from both Ohio State and Rutgers before the 2022 Big Ten Championship Game last December. The Wolverines defeated both Ohio State and Rutgers within a month of the conference title game.

The news comes after a former Big Ten football program staffer recently came forward and claimed that his role centered around stealing signs — including those of Michigan.

This latest twist in the Big Ten sign-stealing saga is not expected to exonerate Michigan or impact the ongoing investigation in any way, according to the report.

The NCAA does not prohibit teams from stealing signals during games. But schools are barred from scouting opponents off-campus in preparation for a future matchup.
