State lawmakers urge Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti to refrain from taking premature measures against Michigan

The Big Ten has sent Michigan a notice of disciplinary action surrounding allegations of illegal sign stealing by former Michigan analyst Connor Stalions. The notice is something that’s required by the conference sportsmanship policy when “it becomes clear that an institution is likely to be subjected to” penalties.

Michigan will soon be sending in their response, and from there the ball will be in Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti’s court to announce disciplinary action or not. There’s a widely held belief that if any punishment is handed down that Michigan will fight it through the proper legal channels they have available.
