Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 22:40:31 GMT

I was scouting the next game,” recalled Houston Nutt, the former Arkansas and Mississippi coach who worked under Johnson with the Cowboys in the early 1980s.The NCAA banned in-person advanced scouting in 1994 in part because not every school could afford to do it. Now Michigan is being investigated by the NCAA for a sign-stealing scheme that allegedly involved people secretly being sent to record opponents’ games.No. 2 Michigan on Friday suspended a low-level football staffer who is a focus of the NCAA’s investigation.
