Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti defended his handling of Michigan's sign-stealing controversy during the 2023 season.
Big Ten Media Days is officially here, and It didn't take long for Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti to be asked about his handling of the Michigan's sign-stealing controversy last season. Petitti was ultimately the deciding factor that led to Jim Harbaugh serving a three-game suspension to close out the season, including games against Maryland, Penn State, and Ohio State.

"There was a lot of cooperation with the NCAA in terms of the information we had access to. Working with our administrators, and ultimately our presidents and chancellors as well. So it was a completely collaborative process.
As far as whether or not he has any insight into the current NCAA investigation into the Michigan football program and what the time table is for a decision, Petitti didn't provide much. "I don't know of a time table, I'm not aware yet about when the NCAA will come to a final determination or whenever that might be."Michigan's Will Johnson voted preseason Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year
