TCU's Use of 'Dummy Signals' Exposed in Michigan Sign-Stealing Scandal
TL;DR Summary
TCU coaches knew about Michigan's sign-stealing scheme during last year's College Football Playoff semifinal and used "dummy signals" to trick the Wolverines. TCU mixed in new play-call signals with old ones, instructing players to ignore the dummy signals and run the original play as called with the new signals. TCU's victory over Michigan stands as one of the more incredible upsets in the history of the College Football Playoff. The NCAA is currently investigating Michigan's sign-stealing scheme, which involved an analyst purchasing tickets to over 40 college football games to record opponents' signals.
