Multiple sources told Sports Illustrated the alleged violations involved impermissible in-person scouting. Yahoo Sports reported the news first.

The NCAA prohibited in-person scouting of opponents in 1994, but sources said Michigan has allegedly sent personnel to games to try to glean play signals from future opponents. Sign-stealing is not technically an NCAA violation, but using staff or other assigned personnel to attend games would be against the rules. Sources said that was the issue with the Wolverines.
