It looks like the Big Ten coaches are not happy with the University of Michigan’s football program. According to recent reports, several Big Ten coaches have requested that the school be disciplined for sign-stealing.
The reports come after an investigation by the Associated Press revealed that the Wolverines had been using a system of sign-stealing to gain an edge on the field. The system involved players and coaches using video cameras to record opponents’ signals and then relaying them to the team’s offensive coordinator.
The Big Ten coaches have reportedly asked the conference to take action against Michigan, citing a lack of institutional control and a violation of NCAA rules. The conference has yet to take any action, but it is likely that the school will face some sort of punishment.
It is unclear what kind of punishment Michigan could face, but it could include a fine, a suspension of the program, or even a ban from postseason play. It is also possible that the school could be forced to vacate wins from the past few seasons.
The sign-stealing scandal has been a major embarrassment for the University of Michigan and its football program. It is clear that the Big Ten coaches are not happy with the school’s actions and are demanding that it be held accountable. It remains to be seen what kind of punishment the school will face, but it is clear that the Big Ten coaches are taking a stand against cheating in college sports.
