The University of Michigan is looking at receiving a notice of violations from the NCAA in regards to the fallout of the Connor Stalions sign stealing scandal. A part of that sign stealing scandal involves Stallions being present on Central Michigan’s sideline for their week one game against Michigan State last season.
According to a report by Football Scoop, Central Michigan is moving on from QB coach Jake Kostner. The timing of the firing is all too interesting, as fall camp is set to begin for the Chips this week.
Kostner was a student assistant with Michigan for four seasons and knew Stalions from his time in Ann Arbor.

When CMU was asked about the connection of Kostner and Stalions, Tony Paul of the Detroit News reported that CMU declined to comment, but they are still working with the NCAA on their investigation.
In response to a report that CMU QBs coach Jake Kostner is expected to be out over the whole Connor Stalions sideline fiasco (they knew each other from time together at UM), CMU says it's still cooperating with the ongoing NCAA investigation. Kostner still is listed as a staffer.

This will be a story to watch as it looks to be unraveling.
