During a discussion of sign stealing in football, Joel Klatt, FOX College Football Analyst, on Cowherd earlier said there were "Grumblings that TCU had help in the Playoff game two years ago against Michigan."
They both agreed that it's an important part of football, everybody does it and it's not a big deal, and it's not a big deal that Michigan was caught doing it.

Coaches watch hours of film each week in the hope of picking up any signal that would help and now the transmitter will help with that. Basketball coaches know exactly what their opponent will be doing on offense. Baseball coaches change signals all the time because signals have been stolen for years. Bottom line, you have to beat your opponent regardless of what the sport is.

The difference is Michigan had game film and they had film of coaches on sidelines. They would know what play was called as soon the other team called it. Much different than seeing other team line up and react to what you think they are going to do. You can run multiple plays out of the same formation. Same as Patriots they knew it was big that is why they did not fight their punishment for it.

I remember reading that "what TCU knew" was that Michigan was stealing signs so they changed everything up for the game; and hence, Michigan didn't have their usual advantage. That's what I remember reading after that game...remember thinking, ha, good on you TCU.

Its simply scouting your opponent.
Armies and navies do it.
Businesses do it.
Law enforcement does it.
Just another way the corrupt old NCAA uses bogus rules and selective enforcement to tilt the playing field.

TCU had help all year long with bad calls, is all I know. Videos clearly showed our guy missed their punter by several inches but they reviewed it and didn’t overturn it. What a crock. That was the difference in the game. The Frogs are a bunch of cockroaches, anyway.

I'll never buy the "it's not a big deal" line . . . it's false.

Loads of people take Chinese bribes or sweetheart deals, too, but does that mean Biden and his kid are ok?
If someone ones to point out that it's not unheard of and it's not the biggest football scandal of any sort ever, then great, we should be happy to acknowledge that fact, but to say it's no big deal or virtually nothing at all is another matter. It's plainly a false dichotomy to say that that it doesn't matter simply b/c there's a certain frequency about it. If it wasn't a big deal, then - in Michigan's case, for instance, Stallions wouldn't have been on the payroll with some sort of vague but clearly important role, flying around to games against possible future opponents, allegedly paying third parties to attend games and film hand signals, impersonating CMU staff, using his long-cultivated sign-stealing signals to not simply do the normal, in-game deciphering, but building up a database from an extended and structured practice going well beyond that. It was not all done for nothing, nor was it done for negligible effect.
