The drip I expected to come out has done so today, as John U. Bacon has reported that Tony Petitti had been informed that Rutgers and Ohio State had shared Michigan's sign information to Purdue prior to the Big Ten Championship Game.
This is true. Can confirm that was the crux of the argument, "Well, these guys did this too!"
Now, it doesn't mean that there are any rules broken here, just as everyone is arguing whether Stalions and Michigan broke any rules but it's clear that the Wolverines are using this to show hypocrisy and prove some sort of collusion is going on. Again, nothing that proves anything went against the rules quite yet. Still, not a great look.
We also don't know for a fact if the head coaches were aware of this or participated. Again, if the argument is made that Harbaugh should've known about what's going on with his program, and while there may be some truth to that, it's fair to make the same argument here as well.
It's just funny coming from a Rutgers program whose head coach, Greg Schiano, has been very vocal behind closed doors about Michigan's sign-stealing allegations, even calling other coaches to discuss.
Funnily enough, we have been told by multiple sources that Rutgers has one of the more 'relentless' sign stealers in the conference.
At this point, I fully expect Michigan to fire more shots across the bow if the Big Ten continues to go down the path it's headed. Not necessarily based on fact but how this situation has been moving the last 48 hours or so.
We'll have more as things progress,
