Ohio State among teams to leak Michigan's signs to opponent, per report
Ohio State is reportedly included in the group of teams that leaked Michigan’s signs to an opponent of the Wolverines.

Big Ten’s Tony Petiti was informed today that the two programs which fed Purdue Michigan’s signals before the 2022 BT title game were Rutgers and OSU. Not clear if rules broken, doesn’t directly affect UM’s situation, but raises question re: relative competitive advantage.— John U. Bacon (@Johnubacon) November 7, 2023
It’s worth noting per Bacon’s report, there is no clarity if rules were broken in the situation as presently reported. There is also no direct connection or impact on Michigan’s investigation, but it is certainly something Tony Petitti might weigh when it comes to a decision on if — and how — to announce a punishment for Harbaugh or the Wolverines.
