COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ryan Day and everyone else associated with Ohio State football has refrained from going on the record about Michigan’s alleged breaking of in-person scouting rules to steal signs of future opponents.
The Big Ten’s other head coach named Ryan did not pull any punches. First-year Purdue coach Ryan Walters, whose team plays at Michigan on Saturday, said on his radio show Thursday night that the Boilermaker coaches taught their players “a whole new language,” assuming their signs had been compromised.
“It’s unfortunate, and what’s crazy is, they weren’t allegations,” Walters said. “It happened. There’s video evidence. There’s ticket sales and purchases that you can track back. We know for a fact that they were at a number of our games.”
ESPN reported Thursday that Big Ten coaches held a video call with Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti the day before that lasted nearly 90 minutes. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh left after about 30 minutes, and over the remaining hour, other coaches expressed their belief that the Big Ten needed to act.
A call between Petitti and Big Ten athletic directors followed on Thursday.
Walters’ comments provided some insight into the sort of things Petitti likely heard. That included the impact the Michigan operation — alleged to have included all 13 Big Ten opponents in over 30 games dating back to at least 2021 — had on preparations and game play.

Walters also signed off on the subject with a hint of the conviction he and other coaches will take into meetings with the Wolverines this season and likely beyond. Michigan is ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25 poll and No. 3 in the first College Football Playoff rankings.
“We’ve had to teach our guys a new language in terms of some signals and operate different offensively,” Walters said. “You might see us in the huddle for the first time this season.
“It is what it is, but we’re excited to go play, and I think (winning) would make for a great story.”
It remains to be seen if Day makes his opinions known, or if he holds his tongue through the Nov. 25 kickoff of The Game in Ann Arbor.
