Michigan Wolverines’ co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss has been placed on paid administrative leave amid a police investigation into computer crimes at the school’s training center.
The crimes, which are unknown, are believed to have occurred between Dec. 21 and 23 at Schembechler Hall, according to University of Michigan deputy chief of police Crystal James.
“I am aware of the ongoing investigation by the University of Michigan Police Department and fully cooperating with investigators,” Weiss wrote in a text message to The Detroit News. “I look forward to the matter being resolved. Out of respect for the integrity of the investigation, I will not have any further comment.”
