- Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has publicly denied any knowledge or involvement in the alleged sign-stealing activities and has stated his commitment to full cooperation with the ongoing NCAA investigation.
- The reporting on Michigan's alleged sign-stealing has been based largely on anonymous sources, with significant implications for the integrity of the sport and the potential impact on the team's current successful season.
