Michigan could be in more trouble than most people think.In the Big Ten’s 13-page letter they sent to Michigan that gives step-by-step insight into the conference’s decision-making, a prominent group was mentioned, leading to many rumors. The technology-driven sports wagering monitoring company, U.S. Integrity, was cited in the Big Ten’s 13-page letter at the bottom of page 3 (pictured below). This is significant to the rumor because many believe that not only could Connor Stalions have been operating a sizeable sign-stealing network, but that specific coaches may have been taking advantage of it as well by placing bets and fixing the point totals of games. U.S. Integrity monitors unusual betting activity and is used by all five major power conferences. U.S. Integrity informed sportsbooks about the sign-stealing situation when it came to light a few weeks ago. Things will only get crazier if a connection is eventually found between sign stealing and betting within the Michigan program.The rumor gets more profound with the belief that when former Michigan QB Coach and Co-Offensive Coordinator Matt Weiss had his computer taken for research, the FBI found gambling cookies on it.These rumors have gained little to no traction in the national media, and Michigan fans seem unmoved by it, but at the very least, it is a rumor with possibilities.
