Discussing NCAA Sign-Stealing Investigation, Jim Harbaugh, Michigan Football

Jim Harbaugh and Michigan are now under investigation for allegedly stealing signs.

Earlier today, news broke that Jim Harbaugh and Michigan are now under investigation for allegedly stealing signs of opponents. Brendan Quinn of The Athletic wrote about exactly what is being investigated. 

"The league claims that Michigan, as one source with knowledge of the allegation said, is using a 'vast network' to steal opposing teams’ signs," Quinn wrote. "The league told Michigan State it has reviewed film that shows U-M clearly knowing what play an opposing team is going to run before the play occurs."

Because of the apparent rule-breaking, the Big Ten Conference has also gotten involved.

"Late Wednesday afternoon, the Big Ten Conference and University of Michigan were notified by the NCAA that the NCAA was investigating allegations of sign stealing by the University of Michigan football program. The Big Ten Conference has notified Michigan State University and future opponents. The Big Ten Conference considers the integrity of competition to be of the utmost importance and will continue to monitor the investigation. The conference will have no further comment at this time."

In the video above, we discuss as much of this situation as we can given the limited information we all have right now.
