First, there was Spygate. Then, Spygate 2.0, of course. Years later, Michigan joined the party with a sign-stealing controversy of their own.
Now, college football could be facing another tricky situation.
According to Yahoo Sports’ Dan Wetzel, the company Catapult, which is described as a video and data analysis used regularly in college football, has confirmed an ongoing NCAA investigation involving local authorities. The investigation centers on “unauthorized access” of film.
Wetzel made it a point to note that this is not related to the investigation involving Michigan in any way.
Yet, there is “at least” one unnamed college football program being investigated at this time.
Catapult has noted that it was unable to find “any security breach in our systems,” yet is still cooperating with the authorities. Since Catapult’s programs capture and analyze film from various games, practices, and other training sessions, learning the details of this investigation will be fascinating for many involved with the sport, especially with bowl season in high gear.
