University of Michigan's football program under NCAA scanner. Here's why
University of Michigan's football program is currently facing a second NCAA investigation, with the latest inquiry centered around alleged violations of rules regarding sign-stealing. These rules prohibit in-person scouting of upcoming opponents. Michigan has been frequently entangled with the NCAA in the past year.
This development was initially reported by Yahoo Sports on Thursday and was subsequently confirmed by the conference through a social media announcement. The specific NCAA bylaw under scrutiny is 11.6.1, which explicitly states that «off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents (in the same season) is prohibited.»
The NCAA's regulations do not include specific rules against sign-stealing. However, they do prohibit in-person advanced scouting of opponents and have bylaws in place to prevent unsportsmanlike activities.
The Wolverines, currently holding a 7-0 record, are scheduled to face Michigan State this Saturday.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati transfers Aziz Bandaogo and Jamille Reynolds had waivers rejected by the NCAA last week, prompting the Bearcats to file an appeal in hopes of getting both cleared to play when the college basketball season begins in a few weeks.
Bandaogo played two seasons at Akron before spending last season at Utah Valley, where the 7-footer from Senegal averaged 11.5 points and 10.4 rebounds. Reynolds spent his first two seasons with UCF which, like the Bearcats, is joining the Big 12 this season, before averaging 10.1 points in his lone season at Temple.
The NCAA has strict guidelines when it comes to players transferring a second time, a topic that has angered some coaches.
