Head coach of Michigan football’s next opponent, Purdue, goes off
If the Big Ten lets the NCAA investigation into Michigan football play out just a few days more without taking action, it’s going to be more than a slightly awkward postgame situation for Jim Harbaugh and Purdue head coach Ryan Walters.
In an interview on Thursday, Walters blasted the Wolverines over the alleged sign-stealing scandal, saying, “They aren’t allegations. It happened. There’s video evidence. There’s ticket purchases you can track back. We know for a fact they were at a number of our games.”
The investigation is ongoing and Michigan football has not been able to defend itself publicly amid an intensifying series of accusations.

Per reports on TheWolverine.com and elsewhere, the University of Michigan is confident the NCAA has a firm grasp on the situation and the university was confident enough in the findings that it OK’d Harbaugh’s contract extension on Tuesday. What has happened since has been nothing short of a media firestorm surrounding the Ann Arbor program.
The Big Ten commissioner is reportedly meeting with U-M president Santa J. Ono on Friday to discuss the next steps.
