UofM Fires Back At Big 10 Over Sign Stealing Allegations

The University of Michigan has fired back at the Big Ten after receiving notification from the league of potential disciplinary action to their football team due to the sign stealing allegations.

The University sent a 10-page letter that warned the league of overstepping their authority and rushing to judgment, insisting they cannot discipline coach Jim Harbaugh under the conference’s sportsmanship policy for an alleged sign-stealing scheme that has rocked college football.

The school also says it would not be fair to discipline the program in part because it provided the Big Ten with evidence suggesting other conference schools were stealing signs and sharing them with one another.
