The Michigan football program said it is cooperating with the NCAA in regard to an investigation into allegations the Wolverines are scouting games in order to steal signs.

“The university has been notified by the NCAA, along with the Big Ten, that the NCAA is investigating allegations of play signal stealing by Michigan football,” the statement from Michigan AD Warde Manuel reads. “The university is fully cooperating with the Big Ten and NCAA.

“The investigation is ongoing and will not impact Saturday’s game.

“At the University of Michigan, we are committed to the highest ethical and integrity standards for all members of our community.”

According to the Yahoo report, the investigation centers on whether Michigan attended games of scheduled opponents and possible CFP opponents to steal offensive and defensive signals.

NCAA Bylaw 11.6.1 states, “Off-campus, in-person scouring of future opponents (in the same season) is prohibited,” according to the report.

No. 2 Michigan (6-0) plays at Michigan State on Saturday.

Yahoo reports two of Michigan’s opponents this season were aware that Michigan knew their play signs.
