1. every school should scout the their future opponents and find as much out as possible about them.

2. every school should change their signals so that doing number 1 is not going to help anything.

3. every opponent has tried since the dawn of time to gain every advantage they can in any way they can. I don't see the level of outrage some are seeing here other than it is frowned upon.

By "frowned upon", you mean more than a few violations of actual rules occurred, right?

Sure. But this was put in place because not every school has the backing of the big boys. Its meant to level the playing field.

Not everybody has created a network of spies to video tape opposing teams sidelines to obtain signals and then distribute them to other schools of their choice to make their path to the playoffs easier. So, no, not everyone does THIS.

Also it isnt frowned upon its just straight up against the rules.

And none of this is even biased its just repeating exactly whats being reported.
