News updates as the amount of alleged cheating evidence grows
The most recent information about the Wolverines, with staff member Connor Stalions at the centre of the investigation
The No. 2 Michigan Wolverines are having a fantastic season, but there are a lot of distractions involved. Unquestionably, the on-field performance has been outstanding, but allegations of sign-stealing have produced an off-field soap opera that ends with a fresh cliffhanger every day. The Wolverines are still very much in the running for a third straight Big Ten title and a spot in the College Football Playoffs.
The main focus of the inquiry is staff member Connor Stalions, who is accused of purchasing tickets for over 30 games (many of which are Big Ten) and utilising “illegal technology” to pilfer signs. In the interim while the NCAA conducts its investigation, Stalions has been placed on paid suspension. An obvious focal point here is Coach Jim Harbaugh, who has already been involved with the NCAA, though he has denied knowing about the operation.
CBS Sports will be monitoring this story and providing updates as new information about the Michigan sign-stealing scandal becomes available.
Harbaugh says, “Let it play out,” breaking his silence on the probe.
Jim Harbaugh, the coach of Michigan, has finally spoken out regarding the NCAA’s investigation into multiple claims that the programme engages in sign stealing. Up until now, suspended employee Connor Stalions has been the centre of attention due to his alleged use of video equipment during multiple Big Ten and possible College Football Playoff contest games. Nonetheless, Harbaugh might face consequences based on his awareness of the purported plan.
The only thing to do is let it happen, Harbaugh stated on Monday. “Accompany the inquiry and observe its progress. The team is too narrow-minded to discuss all of the conjecture.”
