The Michigan sign-stealing controversy has swept college football, but former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer says he's 'skeptical' it's all true.
One college football heavy hitter isn't buying that Michigan pulled off what it's accused of doing. The NCAA has opened an investigation into the school's football program after it was alleged to have repeatedly stolen opposing teams' signs, and it seems like more damning evidence emerges by the day. However, Urban Meyer, who coached Michigan rival Ohio State seven years, admitted he is 'skeptical' of the truth to the allegations.
Meyer said on his podcast with Tim May he had 'been asked over 100 times to comment' on the controversy, and he finally gave his thoughts. 'First of all, I’m very skeptical of reporters' reporting. My experience is they’re wrong most of the time,' Meyer said. 'And that’s not a shot at the media, but that’s reality. People say things that they’re reporting that’s just not true.
Meyer's opinion differs from that of Deion Sanders, who downplayed it all. 'You can have someone's whole game plan. They can mail it to you. You've still got to stop it, you've still got to stop it,' Sanders said last week. Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions, who is believed to be at the center of the investigation, was suspended with pay late last month.
The coach added that he received free tickets and shared the footage via an iPhone photo album. It is unclear if anyone other than Stalions had access to the alleged recordings. Fox News' Chantz Martin contributed to this report.
