The FBI has joined the University of Michigan police department's investigation of former Wolverines assistant football coach Matt Weiss, who was fired in January following a report of unauthorized computer access crimes at the school's football building.
Deputy chief Melissa Overton confirmed the FBI's involvement to ESPN on Thursday, adding that the investigation is «extensive, ongoing and is of the utmost priority,» and covers multiple states.
Weiss, who spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons with Michigan and most recently served as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, has not been charged with any crime.
In a letter to Weiss obtained by the Associated Press, Michigan executive associate athletic director Doug Gnodtke wrote that the school had evidence he had «inappropriately accessed» accounts at Schembechler Hall, which houses the school's football offices.
