Sources to @TomVH and me: B1G received documents from Michigan that U-M says show Ohio State, Rutgers and Purdue communicated about U-M's signals in 2022. Docs show Purdue, which faced U-M in B1G champ game, got offense signals from Ohio St + D signals from Rutgers, per sources.

A Big Ten source told ESPN that the materials have been passed along to the NCAA. As
@Johnubacon reported, unknown whether the signal-sharing between league teams violates the Big Ten's sportsmanship policy, but could merit follow-up.

A source told ESPN that the information the league received isn't expected to impact how the Big Ten proceeds with Michigan and potential discipline under the sportsmanship policy, which could come later this week.

Also FWIW, since some have asked: the person informing Petiti was not a U-Michigan employee but an independent higher-up in college football, who felt Petiti should be ready to respond.

It makes zero sense that it’s against the rules to scout future opponents live and get their signals that way, but you can communicate with a previous opponent of a future opponent and get the signals from them. Isn’t the point of making it against the rules to prevent the competitive advantage of knowing your opponent’s signs going into a game? How does it matter how you received that info?

U are correct, if u are 2 stupid to keep the same signs and audibles, you get what you get. Even NFL players will admit they tried to steal signs every game to get an advantage, and had people scouting teams, errr watching the signs these jackass ocoords have the backup qb's hold up.

It's one thing to video tape the walk thru for a team, and know their first 20 plays(errrr Patriots), this is nothing like that, this is moronic ocoords not changing their plays or signs.

Payton manning changed "Omaha" every quarter of every game. It was never the same play call, each quarter.

Ryan day after losing 2 in a row to Michigan

“It’s not us!!!! They steal our signs!! Let’s give Purdue their signs and then Michigan will lose because it’s so unfair!!!!!”

Ryan day after Michigan beats the shite out of Purdue by 21 even when Purdue has their signs :





Let’s not forget that giant pussy day also cried about Clemson having his signs.

Michigan and Purdue broke the exact same rule - they used advanced scouting to steal a future opponent’s signals.

Well except they didnt. Michigan broke a rule and Purdue obtained the signs within the rules.

Interesting perspective from Dan:

"Which would you rather have? Raw cell phone footage that still needs to be broken down, or highly experienced coaches just handing over their work?Everyone would choose the Purdue option."

This is also fricking stupid. Stallions or someone broke down the footage and created a laminated spreadsheet with the calls.

quote:

Both Michigan and Purdue “cheated.”

You can quote tweet an opinion all you want. But if if the facts are true, Michigan is the only one that broke the rules.

If they didn't need it, why did the go to this much effort?

Love how "Michigan Investigation" is still front page center on ESPN (guess nothing going on in Women's Basketball) and ESPN is acting like they're an impartial observer instead of an accomplice twisting the knife into this farce.
