After it was reported that Rutgers and Ohio State sent Purdue Michigan’s play signs ahead of the B1G Championship Game, Greg Schiano was asked about it ahead of their game against Iowa. Here was his reponse:
“Look, I’m getting ready to go play the 22nd ranked team in the country at their place,” Schiano said, via NJ Advance Media. “They are 12-3 in their last 15 games, they’re 15-1 in the month of November (in the past four seasons). I’m very confident in the way we handle our business. I’m not going to get into specifics about something that is not my issue. This is not my issue. Let the people handle it whose issue it is.”
“I’m sticking to one thing: Iowa,” Schiano said. “I gave you my feelings on the whole subject. Quite frankly, I’m a little bit ticked off that we have to talk about this. This isn’t our problem.”
Sources to @TomVH and me: B1G received documents from Michigan that U-M says show Ohio State, Rutgers and Purdue communicated about U-M's signals in 2022. Docs show Purdue, which faced U-M in B1G champ game, got offense signals from Ohio St + D signals from Rutgers, per sources.
