FBI Joins Investigation into Former Michigan Football Coach’s Alleged Computer Crimes

Investigation into alleged unauthorized computer access incidents by ex-Michigan football assistant coach Matt Weiss considered extensive and high-priority; FBI involvement broadening the probe, no connections to separate NCAA investigation into program's alleged sign stealing.

The FBI has been working with the University of Michigan police department for several months in the investigation into former Michigan football assistant coach Matt Weiss' alleged computer access crimes.
Matt Weiss, who served as the Wolverines' quarterbacks coach in 2021 and co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in the last season, was terminated by Michigan in January 2023, shortly after the investigation began.
The alleged offenses took place at Schembechler Hall, the University of Michigan football program's facility.
This investigation is unrelated to a separate investigation by the NCAA into allegations of illegal sign stealing by the Michigan football program.
Neither Weiss nor any other individual has been arrested or charged in connection with the investigation into the alleged computer access crimes so far.
