Well, this is an unexpected turn of events. The ongoing saga of the Michigan football illegal sign-stealing accusations has created heated debates among Wolverines fans, Ohio State supporters, and Michigan State loyalists. However, amid all the finger-pointing, a surprising ally has emerged for the maize and blue.
Maurice Clarett, a former star player for Ohio State, has made an unexpected show of solidarity with Michigan. Despite his ties to the Buckeyes, Clarett has chosen not to join in the bashing. He recognizes that the real enemy in this situation is the NCAA, an institution that he has long criticized.
“I can go back and forth with the Michigan and OSU banter. It’s fun and comical on lots of levels. I can take the jokes about my past and all of the above…. In all honesty, I think the investigation into Michigan for the hamburger, sign viewing, or whatever it is, is another reason for everyone to be mad at the NCAA. I’ve spoken up for Michigan in both cases. It’s actually stupid. Good scouting gets you all of the signs and signals you want. Michigan is a good football team, and it’s actually healthy to have wins/losses go both ways. In all of this… realize who we all should be mad at and it’s the NCAA and its silly rules.”

“I always say that there’s far greater issues of concern than hamburgers, sign viewing, tattoos, and all of the other silly things that are in place to keep college sports in its current state. If the NCAA wanted to tackle real issues, it would be about the ‘education’ most student athletes receive when on campus.”

At present, there are only allegations in the media and an initial NCAA investigation. No official notice of allegations has been issued by the governing body.
