FOUND: Rivals decoded michigan s signals and shared them with another big ten team - You Need To See This

As a high-stakes showdown looms with Big Ten leadership, Michigan is aggressively fighting back against potential sanctions for alleged illegal signal-stealing by former football staffer Connor Stalions. Among the school’s means of rebuttal, it plans to formally present evidence to league officials that last season other Big Ten schools decoded the Wolverines’ signals and disseminated them to a future opponent.

A former Big Ten coach at a rival school in recent days forwarded to the Wolverines copies of two single-page documents listing Michigan’s deciphered signals, three sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to Sports Illustrated. The former Big Ten coach was a member of a staff that he said last season received multiple detailed breakdowns of which signals corresponded to which play calls. He told Michigan, according to the sources, that the information had originally come from other Big Ten schools.
