Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy: Team had to 'make it an even playing field' vs. Ohio State in sign-stealing scandal
McCarthy also put the number of teams stealing signs in college football at '80%'
"It's just a thing about football. It's been around for years," McCarthy said during Wednesday's CFP teleconference. "We actually had to adapt because in 2020 or 2019 when Ohio State was stealing our signs, which is legal and they were doing it, we had to get up to the level that they were at, and we had to make it an even playing field."

"I just feel like it sucks," he continued. "We do work our butts off. We do watch so much film and look for those little tendencies and spend like 10, 15 minutes on one clip alone just looking at all the little details of the posture, of the linebackers or the D-ends, the safeties off levels, the corner to the field is press but the corner to the boundary is off, little stuff like that where it's like, you could say it's all sign stealing, but there's a lot more that goes into play, and a lot of stuff that gets masked, a lot of work that gets masked just because of the outside perception of what sign stealing is all about."
The elaborate sign-stealing scheme, allegedly perpetrated by former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions, resulted in a three-game suspension for coach Jim Harbaugh to close the regular season. Stalions, who resigned on Nov. 3, allegedly bought tickets to more than 30 games involving potential future Michigan opponents for the purpose of collecting information about opposing play-call signals. NCAA rules do not allow in-person scouting.
Just sayin'; McCarty basically admits to knowing about scUM's sign stealing operation. If he knew then the head coach (and assistant coaches) had to of known too. McCarty's statement just adds more proof that Harbaugh is a liar (even though we already knew that).
