As the NCAA investigates Michigan over sign-stealing allegations, their next opponent reportedly was ready to step away from the field.
The Athletic’s Brendan Quinn reports Michigan State approached the Big Ten to say it was considering not playing in the game this weekend, citing concern over the health and safety of its players. Initially, the conference gave Michigan State a heads up regarding the investigation to inform the school of Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing ahead of the game.
However, on Thursday, Michigan State told the league that it will play the game on Saturday as scheduled.
