An NCAA investigation into alleged sign-stealing by Michigan football has zeroed in on one of the program’s analysts as a person of interest, according to an ESPN report.
Connor Stalions, described as “a low-level staffer with a military background,” is a key figure in the NCAA investigation. ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Mark Schlabach report that NCAA enforcement staff pursued access to Stalions’s computer as part of its inquiry into what’s been described as an “elaborate” scouting system involving personnel being sent to games to determine opponents’ play-calling signals.
Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde and Richard Johnson quoted a staffer from one of Michigan’s opponents this season who said, “We had an inclination before we played them that they were sending advance scouts and videoing signals.”
