COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State coach Ryan Day has denied the claims that the program shared Michigan's signs ahead of their 2022 Big Ten Championship game.
During his weekly Q&A with the media, Day was asked about allegations that emerged Tuesday that Ohio State had given Purdue information about Michigan's play-calling signs ahead of last year's Big Ten Championship game.
Michigan went on to beat Purdue in that game 43-22.
When asked about the allegations Day responded, "I can tell you this right now, nobody here did any of that."
A report was released Tuesday night from ESPN claiming that there was evidence that Ohio State, Rutgers and Purdue communicated about the Wolverines’ signals in 2022.
The documents allegedly showed that Purdue got Michigan offensive signals from Ohio State and defensive signals from Rutgers.
Day said the program "asked all the questions, got our compliance people involved and none of that came back at all."
"I can answer very strongly that that did not happen," Day said.
The allegations emerged amidst Michigan's ongoing NCAA investigation into impermissible scouting of opponents and sign stealing.
Most recently, Connor Stalions, the Michigan football staffer at the center of the investigation, resigned on Nov. 3. The NCAA and the Big Ten are continuing to investigate the situation.
