However, the game against Ohio State serves as a decisive moment for Michigan. It’s an opportunity for the team to prove their mettle on the field and show that their success is not dependent on unfair practices. A strong performance in this game could help to restore the team’s reputation and demonstrate their commitment to fair play. And it’s important to note that the outcome of the game won’t have any direct impact on the ongoing investigation. The NCAA’s investigation and any potential consequences for the alleged sign-stealing will proceed independently of the results on the field.
