Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti sent a letter to the NCAA Committee on Infractions suggesting that Michigan’s football program should not face more sanctions stemming from a sign-stealing scheme, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Petitti on Tuesday confirmed that he wrote a letter to the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions on Michigan’s behalf, as reported this week by ESPN and later confirmed by MLive/ The Ann Arbor News, telling reporters at Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas that it’s “not uncommon for a conference office to weigh in.”

High-end draft picks Porter Martone, Malcolm Spence join growing list of junior talent joining Michigan-based universities.

The Big Ten commissioner doubled down on the league’s preference for multiple automatic qualifiers in the next version of the College Football Playoff on Tuesday.
