Ungreatful decision. The all-time player for Wolverines has declined the Kansas City request
On Thursday, the University of Michigan promised to assist in an unprecedented investigation into the football team and claims of a sign-stealing scheme that might have given the Wolverines access to vital opponent information in real time.
Along with suspending a low-level football staff member who was allegedly the target of Michigan’s investigation, the 7-0, No. 2-ranked team also made the announcement on Friday.
The Big Ten, which is home to Michigan and several of the most illustrious programs in college football, announced one day earlier that the NCAA was looking into the Wolverines and declared “integrity of competition to be of utmost importance and will continue.”
“The NCAA notified the Big Ten Conference and University of Michigan late on Wednesday afternoon that it was looking into claims that the University had stolen signs.
Michigan football program “A statement from the conference said.
Michigan State University and upcoming opponents have been alerted by the Big Ten Conference. The Big Ten Conference will keep an eye on the inquiry because it values competition integrity above all else. At this point, the Conference will not be providing any more comments.”
Jim Harbaugh, the coach of Michigan, denied any knowledge of sign theft while pledging the school’s full cooperation with investigators.
Teams communicate plays to their players in what way?
Even with the advancements in technology, sending in plays from the sidelines is still a very low-tech—aand sometimes humorous—aact in professional football.
One common way that backup signal callers give direction to the quarterback and offense is through hand gestures.
Usually, that’s done in tandem, with one backup quarterback calling the play and the other acting as a decoy.
