"NCAA President Stands by Michigan's Fair and Square Football National Title Win"

NCAA president Charlie Baker stands by his decision to involve the Big Ten and the University of Michigan in an ongoing investigation, stating that Michigan won the national championship "fair and square." The investigation, which centered on an illegal on-campus scouting and sign-stealing operation, led to the suspension of head coach Jim Harbaugh for three games. Baker believes that the NCAA's actions were necessary to preserve the fairness of the competition and that the investigation should now pick up pace. Michigan players and staff maintain that their national championship win was not tainted despite the ongoing investigation.
