Suspended Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions continues to get exposed.
The Michigan Wolverines football team is implicated in a massive sign-stealing operation dating back to 2021 involving the staffer and every day there seems to be no evidence of what he was doing.
ESPN found that 12 of the 13 schools in the Big Ten had records of Stalions, who allegedly purchased the tickets with his own credit card and helped oversee an operation to steal signs.
A video from last season’s meeting between Michigan and TCU resurfaced on social media this week and it shows Stalions relaying TCU’s offensive play-call to Michigan defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.
Yahoo Sports reported Thursday that TCU was aware of Michigan’s sign-stealing attempts in last season’s College Football Playoff semifinal and threw “dummy signals” at the Wolverines in response, according to unnamed Horned Frogs coaches.
The dummy signals were old plays that had since been changed.

Yahoo Sports also reported multiple coaches from the Big Ten reached out to TCU after the matchup was unveiled to prepare them for switching up its signals, with Michigan’s sign stealing an apparent widely known system across the Big Ten.
Former Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss is embroiled in a separate investigation after police got reports of computer access crimes in Schembechler Hall. It was confirmed the FBI has been working with U-M police for months to uncover Weiss’ role in the reported breach.
Michigan is expected to compete for a national championship this season and has started off the year 8-0, which included a 49-0 thrashing of Michigan State last weekend.
