Last week, reports surfaced that Michigan was trying to pin the origins of the scouting scandal on Ryan Day's family.
To recap, the report from The Wolverine shared:
Reporters are working to put the pieces together, but we know Michigan is currently in possession of documents that could link one of the alleged investigators to Day’s younger brother, Timothy Day. The other they suspect is linked to Day’s brother, Christopher, and was also a classmate of Tim Day’s in New Hampshire. One currently runs a private investigation firm in Manchester, N.H., Day’s hometown.
Michigan believes that the investigation that has currently put a dark cloud around the program was started illegally.
Other sources at Michigan allege some of the evidence — specifically, a spreadsheet provided to the Washington Post with analyst Connor Stalions’ travel plans and budget for his operation in which he allegedly paid people to video opposing teams’ signs — was obtained by gaining access to his computer illegally. Upon investigation, more sources indicated law enforcement has begun looking into the source of the information as a result.
Day had an opportunity to address those reports after getting off the team bus recently before they took on Rutgers.
It seemed like a great opportunity for Day to shoot down the allegations, and comment on how ridiculous and off base the accusations are.
Instead, he offered a simple "no comments right now."
That response will only add fuel to the speculation among Michigan fans that Day is the reason why the investigation was launched in the first place.
In all fairness, Day also declined to comment when asked about the Big Ten coaches discussion with the commissioner that happened late last week as well.
Below is Day opting for the "no comment" route.
Update >> Ross Dellenger shares that the NCAA and the Big Ten have both shared that Ryan Day's family had nothing to do with investigating Michigan's scandal.
