No. If someone is dumb enough to get their signals stolen then they deserve it. It's no different than knowing what plays teams run when lined up a certain way. They can still change it last second before it can be relayed to the team.

Plus most plays have options that can't be known by the signal or zones on defense.

Go figure a Barn rat would be ok with it after trying to sign steal their way to a Natty.

Kelvin and crablegs deservedly put them in the dirt after it was found out.

Actually, most people consider it completely different. Look at what happened with the Patriots and what happened with the Astros.

But you always have a bad take.

This.

Since when is stealing signals illegal? Doesn't every team do this?

But sign stealing during the game is not the only allegation. If during the game you figure out signals, that's not illegal.

They are claiming that Harbough has people go to opponent games and watch their sidelines to steal the signals in advance. Sending scouts to an opponent's game (or practice) for the sole intent of signal stealing is in fact illegal by NCAA rules.

This is why you now see every team holding up big blinders and shite during games.

You would think by now that teams would have figured out how to make signals random enough so they can't be stolen.

They were actively sending people to future opponents games and recording signals and plays. That's not ok....
