Michigan running back Donovan Edwards stated that the investigations have not affected the team's focus. He said the players are focused on their own preparation and performance, not on external controversies.
The school has received the final notice of allegations from the NCAA and has 90 days to respond. It could then face a hearing before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions or negotiate a resolution.

Connor Stalions, the former staff member accused of illegal sign stealing, is expected to speak out about the allegations in the Netflix documentary "Sign Stealer," which debuts on Tuesday.
Harbaugh has consistently denied any involvement in the alleged violations. Head coach Sherrone Moore, who served as interim head coach during Harbaugh's suspensions, has denied deleting text messages with Stalions. He has expressed eagerness for the release of those messages.
The outcome of the NCAA's investigations remains uncertain. Michigan faces potential penalties, including sanctions and probation. However, the school is prepared to defend its actions and challenge any excessive allegations.
