Michigan's Donovan Edwards blocking out noise amid team's sign-stealing allegations
Michigan was hit with a notice of allegations earlier this week

The Michigan football program, of course, is entrenched in a sign-stealing controversy from last season, which ended in a national championship for the school.
However, running back Donovan Edwards, who scored the Wolverines' first two touchdowns of that title game, said he's not concerned with the allegations, or what anybody has to say about his group.

"I personally don’t hear anything. We’re worried about today, not about anything else," Edwards told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "We’re worried about what goes on in Schembechler Hall and not what other people say and controversy. All we can control is what we can control, and that’s our attitude, effort, and what we do on a day-to-day basis."
The alleged scheme resulted in Level I violations by both Jim Harbaugh, who has since left for the Los Angeles Chargers, and Connor Stalions, the alleged ringleader of the scheme.

Stalions is alleged to have been part of a scheme that involved buying tickets to future Michigan opponents’ games, and having individuals attend them to videotape the sideline signals from the stands.
Earlier this month, Michigan received a draft of the NCAA’s notice of allegations, which found evidence that Stalions was wearing Central Michigan gear with a sideline pass during a Chippewas football game in 2023 against Michigan State – the Wolverines in-state rival who was on the schedule.
