Though not conclusive proof of sign theft, it might be a plausible inference given the information unearthed throughout the inquiry.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/onsaf0FORd4?si=HKpmuNk5sc7VmFKn\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Schools throughout the Big Ten started monitoring Stalions&#8217; purchases on Friday after learning about Stalions&#8217; identity first as part of the NCAA investigation into Michigan&#8217;s scouting operation. It appeared that they saw a trend where one or both of the participating colleges were impending Michigan opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The tickets Stallion bought were never for a match in which Michigan was participating; instead, other people used them to get entry to the game.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the NCAA anticipates receiving video proof of someone in a Stallion-purchased seat seemingly using his smartphone to videotape the host team&#8217;s sideline the whole game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Td7q_tb5jBg?si=DU4QE2LeRvLvmzJO\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it is believed that Stalions bought tickets for both sides of the stadium for last weekend&#8217;s top-10 matchup between Penn State and Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio. Stalions has been placed on paid leave awaiting the conclusion of the inquiry. Those passes were not utilized.<\/p>\n<p>As information about the probe began to circulate last week, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh denied any knowledge of any unlawful sign snatching.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C3N5gTJmyO8?si=iNFR_Y11egbg_tDi\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to make it clear that I, and my staff, will fully cooperate with the investigation into this matter,&#8221; Harbaugh stated. &#8220;I do not have any knowledge or information regarding the University of Michigan football program illegally stealing signals, nor have I directed staff members or others to participate in an off-campus scouting assignment. I have no awareness of anyone on our staff having done \u00a0that or having directed that action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since 1994, the NCAA has forbade scouting potential opponents in person.
