Count outgoing Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith among those who believe there should be an asterisk on Michigan’s wins over Ohio State amid the Wolverines’ sign-stealing scandal.
During his appearance on WOSU’s All Sides with Anna Staver on Thursday, Staver asked Smith if Ohio State’s three-game losing streak to Michigan “deserves a little bit of an asterisk since for at least two of those years, it appears they were cheating.”
Smith’s reply: “Of course I do.”
“Yeah, of course I do,” Smith said with a laugh. “The rules are in place to protect the integrity of the game and try your best to create a level playing field, and when those rules are violated, then it affects those principles.
