The Big Ten is expected to issue potential disciplinary action toward Michigan regarding sign-stealing accusations against the football program Friday, according to ESPN’s Heather Dinich.
That announcement will be in reply to a 10-page letter sent by coach Jim Harbaugh’s attorney responding to the Big Ten’s allegation that the Wolverines violated the conference’s sportsmanship policy by using in-person scouting to steal signals from upcoming opponents. It’s unclear whether Harbaugh had any knowledge of the sign-stealing scheme, but the conference still could choose to punish him for what happened on his watch.
However, one Michigan fan noticed that certain passages of the letter by attorney Tom Mars were taken nearly verbatim from a post on the Michigan athletics fan site MGoBlog.
