In a stunning turn of events, the Ohio State Buckeyes faced a humiliating defeat in the Cotton Bowl, losing 14-3 against Missouri. However, the bad news didn't end on the field for the Buckeyes. Rumors of a Catapult investigation have surfaced, raising questions about unauthorized access to practice film.

The Catapult system, utilized by college football teams to gather film and data, is now under scrutiny. According to reports from Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports, the NCAA and local authorities are investigating a breach in the system. Allegedly, Michigan football players and Alabama players had voiced concerns about security earlier in the week, leading to the decision not to use their individual tablets. Interestingly, Michigan had been taking precautions since November, long before the investigation came to light.

Catapult, the video and data analysis company used extensively in college football, has confirmed the ongoing investigations by the NCAA and local authorities into the "unauthorized access" of footage. While Michigan football has been acknowledged as a victim in this situation, the investigation does not revolve around them. Sources indicate that at least one other school is the primary focus of the inquiry, leaving many to speculate about Ohio State's involvement due to possible ties between its staff members and Catapult.

It raises questions about whether Ohio State's alleged involvement in colluding with other Big Ten programs to gain an unfair advantage against Michigan extends even further. The NCAA's reluctance to reveal the identity of the school under investigation, while previously leaking information about the Michigan Wolverines, adds an air of intrigue.

As Ohio State suffers another blow to its reputation, the loss in the Cotton Bowl may just be the beginning of a series of negative headlines for Ryan Day and his coaching staff.

In another development, the Michigan Wolverines have been making strides in their preparations for the future. During a practice session on Friday, four-star quarterback Jadyn Davis was seen taking reps and drawing praise from J.J. McCarthy and other players. Davis, who is being hailed as the future under center for Michigan football, holds promise for the team's continued success. Whether McCarthy decides to play another season in Ann Arbor or not, the Wolverines undoubtedly need Davis to excel, and the early signs are encouraging.

As the Catapult investigation unfolds and the Wolverines' future quarterback begins to make his mark, the landscape of college football continues to evolve. Stay tuned for more updates on these developing stories.
