On Thursday No. 2 Michigan came under fire for allegedly stealing its opponents' signs. Hours after the allegations became public, Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh has denied wrongdoing in a statement.
"I want to make it clear that I, and my staff, will fully cooperate with the investigation into this matter," Harbaugh said in a statement released by the Michigan athletic department. "I do not have any knowledge or information regarding the University of Michigan football program illegally stealing signals, nor have I directed any staff member or others to participate in an off-campus scouting assignment. I have no awareness of anyone on our staff having done that or having directed that action."
Harbaugh further insisted that the Wolverines' scouting practices have always been above board, and declined to comment while the investigation was in progress.
