The ramifications of Michigan's sign-stealing scandal have now extended to other Big Ten coaches, as they find themselves denying similar accusations made by the Wolverines. In evidence submitted by Michigan to the Big Ten this week, it has been alleged that Ohio State and Rutgers shared the Wolverines' signs and signals with Purdue before the 2022 Big Ten Championship Game. However, both Buckeyes coach Ryan Day and Scarlet Knights boss Greg Schiano have vehemently denied these claims during midweek media availability.

As the NCAA continues its investigation into Michigan, the Big Ten conference may take action under its sportsmanship policy, as suggested by other coaches and administrators within the conference. There is a possibility that the NCAA's probe may extend into next year. On Wednesday, Michigan challenged Commissioner Tony Petitti's authority to issue any punitive measures against coach Jim Harbaugh. In the event of a suspension, the university has indicated that it may take legal action against the conference.

The focus of the NCAA's investigation centers around Connor Stalions, a former low-level staffer at Michigan, who is alleged to have orchestrated a scheme involving the purchase of tickets to more than 30 games involving the Wolverines' Big Ten rivals or potential postseason opponents. The aim of this scheme was to decode play-call signals. It is important to note that while sign-stealing is generally frowned upon within the college football community, the NCAA rules prohibit activities such as advanced scouting, which is what Stalions is alleged to have engaged in.

Following the allegations, Stalions was suspended by the university on October 20 and subsequently resigned from his position on the Wolverines' staff on November 3.

The NCAA's investigation into Michigan's sign-stealing scandal is a rapidly-evolving story, and CBS Sports will provide updated coverage in real time.
