| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for all things, Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting. I'm your host, Sakshaas. Steve Lorenz here with me. |
| 0:09.0 | While this is technically a Michigan-Purdue preview episode between the point spread for that game and obviously other things that have gone on during Michigan's by week, you know, |
| 0:21.2 | we'll get to the Michigan-Purdue game at the end. But most of this is probably going to be |
| 0:25.8 | talking about what's been popularly phrased as Signgate and some of the situations surrounding |
| 0:32.5 | the NCAA's investigation into Michigan for improper scouting, I guess, would be the way to phrase it. |
| 0:41.1 | Plenty has happened since our last episode. |
| 0:42.9 | We're not going to be able to get into all of it. |

| 1:39.1 | I should say. You know, the NCAA has said nothing publicly. Michigan football has said nothing publicly. |
| 1:47.7 | Yet somehow every day, sometimes even twice a day, it seems like different national media |
| 1:53.3 | publications or kind of fringe media people on Twitter seem to have a new thing, a new, you know, |
| 2:00.3 | this, a new set of evidence, |
| 2:02.4 | a new set of anonymous quotes, a new set of speculation. And Steve, I think you and I are fairly |
