The Washington Post’s Report Is Very Bad News For Michigan

With each passing day—and, at this point, hour—more evidence seems to emerge in the Michigan football sign-stealing scandal.

The Wolverines are accused of acquiring opponent’s signs via in-person scouting, which is against NCAA rules. A suspended Michigan staffer, Connor Stallions, is at the center of the scandal. At this point, it’s unclear what head coach Jim Harbaugh and the rest of the staff know.

However, it’s becoming harder and harder for the Wolverines’ coaches to deny knowledge of what’s going on.

The Washington Post released a new report on Wednesday evening. It’s bad for Michigan.

The NCAA has reportedly been given evidence via computers at Michigan, per the report:

If true, it’s a bad, bad look for Michigan.

Michigan is currently undefeated and enjoying what could be a historic season. The Wolverines are at the top of the Big Ten and ranked No. 2 in the polls. Harbaugh’s team looks like the Big Ten favorite and a legitimate national title contender.

It could all come crashing down, though.

If Michigan is proven to have disregarded the NCAA’s rules for sign stealing, a “big” penalty could be coming.
