Rich Rodriguez is making some shocking claims this week.
Rodriguez was hired to lead the Jacksonville State football program after the 2021 college football season. With the season upcoming, he is now accusing his team’s first opponent of cheating.
The former West Virginia, Michigan, and Arizona head coach says the Stephen F. Austin program has been spying on their preseason activities leading up to this Saturday’s season-opening matchup.
“Pretty good sources that they had a couple of staff members at our spring game — that’s not really supposed to happen,” Rodriguez said Tuesday. “But we’re making plans accordingly, you know, so if they’re over there thinking they have our plays or what have you, signals or something like that, we’ve changed things since the spring.”
Rodriguez said this shouldn’t be a problem since they’ve “changed things since the spring.”
“That’s really not supposed to happen,” he said.
