Ohio Sate football has a huge game on tap this weekend when it hosts the Penn State Nittany Lions for a top-10 matchup. Later in the year, there’s a big one in Ann Arbor against Michigan of course, but before that, our not-so-friendly neighbors to the north are dealing with a little off-the-field drama.
News broke on Thursday that the Wolverines are being investigated by the NCAA for allegations of advanced scouting to steal signs of opponents. This is on the heels of Jim Harbaugh already being in hot water for recruiting violations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CliffsNotes version of the latest is that a staffer with a military background has been visiting opponents’ games and stealing signs prior to Michigan playing them. It’s not illegal to steal signs in games, but it is against NCAA rules for in-person scouting in advance of playing opponents.
Well then.
We always keep our eyes on what the archrivals have cooking and another eyebrow has to be raised on this one. In fact, social media was ablaze with reactions from Ohio State corners, commenting, trolling and weighing in on the matter.
Here are some of the best reactions on X, formerly Twitter to the news that Michigan is once again being investigated by the NCAA.
