The NCAA has sent investigators to speak with Michigan coaches about the program’s alleged sign-stealing scheme, according to multiple reports. Larry Lage of the Associated Press first reported the development, which subsequently was confirmed by Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic.
The NCAA opened the investigation earlier this month, and it now has escalated to the point where it began interviewing Wolverines coaches Thursday. Up to this point, the investigation has centered around low-level staffer Connor Stalions, whom the program suspended a day after the investigation became public.
Stalions allegedly went to scout Michigan’s future opponents in person to determine their coaches’ signals, an action that is illegal in college football. The analyst, who attended the Naval Academy, reportedly adopted military techniques to decode opponent’s signals.
