I’ve never understood the signal stealing thing, I mean every team is trying to find the other teams “tells” to me I think Michigan just did some superior scouting and it pissed of the other teams, a good poker players always try’s to find an opponents tell.
NCAA takes a dim view of being lied to. Ask Bruce Pearl.
From Wikipedia:
The Scandal:
"The scope of the University of Michigan's sign-stealing operation included both video evidence of electronics prohibited by the NCAA to steal signs and a significant paper trail, per sources. Michigan staffer Connor Stalions purchased tickets in his own name for more than 30 games over three years at 11 different Big Ten schools. The NCAA revealed that Stalions referred to this group as the "KGB", and the scheme had scouted at least 13 future opponents over 52 contests. In a recorded call, Stalions referred to sideline footage obtained as "dirty film"
"On November 3, 2023, Stalions, who was at the center of the scandal, resigned. However, the investigation continued.[ That week, Central Michigan University, a Mid-American Conference program, became a party to the investigation against the Wolverines, when evidence emerged of off-campus scouting violations, as Stalions himself was photographed in disguise on the sidelines for a game Central Michigan played against Michigan State on September 1, 2023. A former staffer stated that Stalions was there to both decipher Michigan State's signals and help with play-calling. When asked by NCAA investigators if he attended the MSU-CMU game, Connor stated that he "did not recall" attending a specific game."
