Hi everyone! This edition will cover the latest news in the NCAA football division. On Saturday, November 4th, the Michigan Wolverines faced the Purdue Boilermakers, and, with a handful of long runs and passes, Michigan won 41-13. However, that’s not all that is happening with Michigan. Michigan is currently being investigated for allegedly sending people to opponents' games to record videos that would be used to decode their in-game signals, which goes against the relevant NCAA rule bylaw 11.6.1. The rule prohibits “off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents (in the same season).” The rule was passed in 1994 as a cost-cutting measure designed to promote equity for programs that couldn't afford to send scouts to other games. The NCAA’s investigation into Michigan’s football program has quickly developed into one of the most polarizing stories in sports. Connor Stalions, a 28-year-old former U.S. Marine known for decoding signals, is accused of purchasing tickets to games involving Michigan’s future opponents and forwarding them to contacts who filmed signals from the stands. If the reports are correct and Michigan has been hiring people to illegally steal play-calling signs, it will lead to several key questions such as: Who was responsible for hiring the independent investigative firm, and why? There is a sneaking suspicion within Michigan circles that Ryan Day is responsible for initiating the investigation, and he was asked about that accusation this week. Click HERE to see his response to the accusations. Thank you for reading the sports article! I hope that you enjoyed it!
