News updates on the Michigan football sign-stealing incident as the case’s evidence of cheating grows
The most recent information about the Wolverines, with staff member Connor Stalions at the core of the investigation
The No. 2 Michigan Wolverines are in the midst of a dream season, though it’s come with major distractions. The on-field product has been undeniably impressive, but sign-stealing accusations have created an off-field soap opera that seems to end with a new cliffhanger daily. All the while, the Wolverines remain firmly in the hunt for a third consecutive Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff berth.
At the heart of the investigation is staffer Connor Stalions, who allegedly bought tickets for more than 30 games (many of them Big Ten) and used “illegal technology” to steal signs. Stalions has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the NCAA’s investigation. Coach Jim Harbaugh, who has already been entangled with the NCAA, is an obvious focal point here as well, but he has denied knowledge of the operation.
