Michigan QB JJ McCarthy Claims Sign-Stealing a Response to Ohio State's Actions

McCarthy Estimates 80% of College Football Teams Steal Signs, Insists Michigan's Success Should Not Be Diminished

Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy claims that the Wolverines' sign-stealing scandal was a response to Ohio State's alleged sign-stealing, stating that Michigan had to 'make it an even playing field'.
McCarthy estimates that around 80% of college football teams steal signs, a practice that he says has been around for years.
The Michigan sign-stealing scandal resulted in a three-game suspension for head coach Jim Harbaugh and the resignation of staffer Connor Stalions, who was at the center of the scandal.
Despite the scandal, McCarthy insists that the team's success should not be diminished, emphasizing the hard work and film study that goes into their game preparation.
The NCAA is still investigating the incident, leaving the possibility of further disciplinary action, including vacating wins.
