Keepin' it 100…Another reason to root for Michigan.

For much of the season, the Michigan Wolverines football team has been the subject of a sign-stealing scandal, and now that Team Up North is at the center of the national championship game, that scandal is only going to get worse.

While speaking to the media in a press conference Wednesday, the Michigan quarterback said: JJ McCarthy Asked about the incident, the Rose Bowl champion claimed that sign stealing is commonplace and that approximately “80 percent” of college football programs participate in it.

“I also think it's very unfortunate, because I don't want to give you crazy numbers, but I'd say 80 percent of college football teams steal signs, which is a pretty high number.” It's just football. It's about.It's been around for years,” McCarthy said. said.

McCarthy also used the opportunity to slam Michigan's rival Ohio State, claiming their sign-stealing was a result of the Buckeyes' actions between 2019 and 2020. He said the Wolverines need to “create a level playing field.”

“Actually, we had to adapt because Ohio State was stealing our signs in 2020 or 2019 (which was legal and they were actually doing it). We had to reach a certain level and we had to play evenly in the field. “

We all know JJ McCarthy is right. Let's stop acting like cheating isn't happening in college football, the same sport that created this entire drama.

I can't help but love JJ's honesty…GO BLUE!
