While Brett Beilema shared a story about the time when Pat Fitzgerald told him they were receiving their play calls through their headphones (and notified the other team at half-time), the Illinois head coach calls out Michigan. Watch near the end as Bielema calls it ‘sickening’ and ‘disgusting’ that they sent people to watch our games last season.

Illinois apparently knew Michigan’s plays last season. A staffer said that Bret Bielema and Illinois got signals “legally” but I guess we’ll just have to take their word for it.
