Larry Lage from The Associated Press released a sizable scoop on Monday afternoon that could implicate multiple Big Ten teams and coaches in actions that could have violated the conference’s sportsmanship policy.
Lage reported that a former employee at a Big Ten football program claims, “It was his job to steal signs and he was given details from multiple league schools to compile a spreadsheet of play-calling signals used by Michigan last year.”
The report goes on to say this staffer shared the documents with Michigan. The documents he shared included Michigan’s signs and corresponding plays, along with text-message screenshots of conversations with other staffers at Big Ten schools.
