Urban Meyer: Impact of Michigan's Sign-Stealing Scandal 'A Huge Deal'
College Football Urban Meyer: Impact of Michigan's Sign-Stealing Scandal 'A Huge Deal' Published Aug. 21, 2025 7:06 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Urban Meyer is insistent that Michigan gained an advantage throughout its sign-stealing saga. "It's a huge deal," the former Ohio State head coach and current FOX Sports analyst said Thursday on "The Herd." "Any advantage that is gotten illegally, that's a major deal." While some might claim Meyer has a bias against Michigan considering his Ohio State ties, he explained why illegally stealing signs is a "major deal" that gives a team an advantage. "The amount of time — I would probably say at least 30, 40 hours per week — the defensive players are trying to figure out from the stances of the offensive linemen, from the weight on their fingertips, from the stance of the receivers, is it run or pass," Meyer said. "Is it that much of an advantage? I can't overemphasize — of course it is. You have 50-to 55-year-old men sitting in meeting rooms forever trying to find some kind of tip to give to their players if [the other team is running] a run or pass. "Any advantage that's gotten illegally, that's a major deal." The NCAA punished Michigan and personnel who were involved in the sign-stealing scandal. The school could receive up to $30 million in fines, while former head coach Jim Harbaugh received a 10-year show-cause. Connor Stalions got an eight-year show-cause and current head coach Sherrone Moore had a game added to the two-game suspension the school gave him. Moore also received a two-year show-cause. ADVERTISEMENT Urban Meyer on Harbaugh, CFB playoffs, Belichick, Jeremiah Smith "If it wasn't a big deal, why would they risk their reputation, their careers, and a $30 million fine for the Wolverines?" Meyer asked. Meyer didn't share specific opinions on the weight of the NCAA's punishments. However, he noted that former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was suspended seven games by the Indianapolis Colts in 2011 as a way to honor the suspension the NCAA gave him for his role in a scandal that involved Buckeyes' players trading memorabilia for tattoos and wondered if Harbaugh could receive a similar suspension. But he wanted to clarify that he hasn't said he wants the now Los Angeles Chargers head coach to get disciplined by the NFL, contrary to other reports. "A friend sent me that quote, I never said that," Meyer said. "Did I say I want Jim [to get suspended]? No, of course I didn't. I was just bringing up Tressell [on my podcast] because it's a fact and the NFL wanted to respect the decision of the NCAA." Harbaugh left Michigan to become the Chargers' head coach after the Wolverines' 2023 national championship season. In that same season, Harbaugh was suspended three games by the Big Ten when news of the sign-stealing scandal first broke. He also served a self-imposed three-game suspension earlier that season as the NCAA investigated Michigan for recruiting violations. Harbaugh later received a four-year show-cause penalty as a result of that investigation, giving him 14 total years of show-cause penalties. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Jets trade for nose tackle Phillips from Vikings, place Weaver on season-ending IR, cut Mathis
The New York Jets placed defensive lineman Rashad Weaver on season-ending injured reserve and released defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis on Thursday, when their acquisition of nose tackle Harrison Phillips became official. Phillips played the past three seasons for Minnesota after spending his first four with Buffalo. The Jets and Vikings agreed to a trade Wednesday night, pending Phillips passing his physical. New York also acquired a 2027 seventh-round draft pick from Minnesota, which received sixth-rounders in 2026 and 2027. That move came a few hours after the Jets made another addition to their defensive line when they acquired defensive tackle Jowon Briggs and a seventh-rounder next year from Cleveland for a sixth-rounder. The Jets also waived cornerback Ryan "Bump" Cooper with an injury designation. He was claimed off waivers from Miami last month. Weaver was signed as a free agent by the Jets in March and expected to be part of New York's defensive line rotation. The nature of Weaver's injury was not immediately known and it wasn't clear when it occurred. Weaver, who has 5 1/2 career sacks and 15 quarterback hits in four NFL seasons, was waived by Tennessee last summer after being a fourth-rounder out of Pitt in 2021. He signed with Houston's practice squad and played in three games for the Texans before being waived and finishing last season on the Los Angeles Rams' practice squad. Mathis was claimed by the Jets off waivers from Washington last December. He was a second-round pick of the Commanders out of Alabama in 2022. Mathis has 25 total tackles in 23 games over three NFL seasons. The 6-foot-3, 307-pound Phillips started every game during his tenure with Minnesota and provides a veteran presence next to Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. A third-round pick out of Stanford in 2018, Phillips has eight career sacks, five fumble recoveries and is regarded as a top run stuffer. He signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the Vikings in 2022 and then was signed to a two-year extension in September. "Harrison has meant so much to our team and our locker room since his arrival in Minnesota three years ago," Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said in a statement in the team's release announcing the trade. "He brought leadership, professionalism and consistency, helping set a standard for the culture we wanted to create."

Houston Texans star suffers potential severe injury, carted off field at training camp
Houston Texans star suffers potential severe injury, carted off field at training camp originally appeared on The Sporting News The Houston Texans are gearing up to begin preseason play on Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings. And while there is a lot of excitement to get games started for the 2025 season, the Texans will be doing it without one of their top defenders. New Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered an injury in Thursday's training camp practice, which led to him being carted off the field. "CJ Gardner Johnson was carted off," ESPN Texans reporter DJ Bien-Aime reports. "He did not walk to the sidelines or anything. He was carted off from the spot he was injured." It sounds as if this was serious, which means Houston could be in the market for a new safety if Gardner-Johnson is going to miss significant time.
