Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss was placed on leave while the university investigates an alleged computer access crime in December, according to multiple reports.
The investigation is reportedly related to a complaint at Schembechler Hall, Michigan football’s practice facility. Law enforcement officials also reportedly conducted an investigation at Weiss’ home on Jan. 10.
Weiss is said to be uninvolved with Michigan’s recruiting activities while the investigation is ongoing. Weiss was with the team during the Fiesta Bowl against TCU on New Year’s Eve.
“The University of Michigan Police Department is investigating a report of computer access crimes that occurred at Schembechler Hall during Dec. 21 through the 23rd of 2022,” university deputy police chief Crystal James said in a statement to the Detroit News. “Since this is an ongoing investigation, there is no additional information to share.”
