Urban Meyer Says He Gives Michigan ‘Benefit of the Doubt’ on Sign-Stealing Allegations Right Now

Urban Meyer had been hesitant to share his views on Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing scandal because of the NCAA’s ongoing investigation into the situation.

However, the former college football coach broke his silence during a recent episode of his Urban’s Take With Tim May podcast, saying that he is "skeptical" of current reporting on the matter.

“This is really the first time, because it’s you and a guy I respect—so I’m very cautious,” Meyer said on the show, per On3 Sports. “I’ve been asked over 100 times to comment on it and I just won’t. But I am going to, I’ll tell you my thoughts: First of all I’m very skeptical of reporters reporting. My experience is they’re wrong most of the time. And that’s not a shot at the media, that’s reality. People say things that they’re reporting that’s just not true. So I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt saying, first of all it’s hard for me to believe that is true.”
