Michigan has recently been on the news for the scandalous sign-stealing incident, and now fans are getting to the bottom of it. Today, Connor Stalions, one of the masterminds behind it, reaped what he sowed as officials allotted him a fitting punishment for going against the NCAA rules. But according to sources, he’s refusing to cooperate with Michigan’s internal investigation. 

Connor Stalions may have been caught and punished, but would he spill the beans to expose all who had been related to it? Michigan’s head coach, Jim Harbaugh, remains a suspicious target for many football fans because of his connection with the program’s ex-staff. Did he really have a part to play in this sign-stealing scandal? 

Connor Stalions fired amid sign-stealing scandal

Multiple sources have reported that Connor Stalions had been present at the Michigan Wolverines’ future opponents’ games to record their signal, which would give their team an edge during their matchups. Now there’s hot news! ProFootballTalk posted breaking news on Twitter, reporting that football analyst Connor Stalions has been fired “at the heart of the sign-stealing scandal.”

The Naval Academy graduate found himself in hot water when he was alleged of stealing signs from other teams by sending minions to their games to capture their hand signals from the sidelines. According to multiple reports, Connor Stalions purchased tickets to several games. Conor Stalions was also reportedly sighted at their in-state and Big Ten rival Central Michigan sideline at the Michigan State game. While CMU head coach Jim McElwain stated he had no business to be where he supposedly was, fans couldn’t believe no one from CMU recognized an outsider among them.

Michigan Scandal Set to Cost Coach Jim Harbaugh $36 Million As the Whistleblower Gets Unmasked, per Rumors

An undisclosed source affirmed that Connor Stalions paid them to attend the games of future Michigan opponents and film the sideline. It has been reported that the Marine Corps captain bought tickets for the Oct. 12 Ohio State-Penn State matchup, but he didn’t use them because the scandal broke out. With Connor Stalions fired, would he contribute anything to the ongoing investigation?

Jim Harbaugh’s credibility in question 

Although Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh denied knowledge of the sign-stealing scandal, some of his actions have drawn suspicion. He has been captured on a video having a possible communication with Connor Stalions at a game. Experts have tried to break down the communication and suggested that it could be Connor Stalions trying to tell the head coach that opposing sideline signals meant “pressure” from the rival defense.

Following the scandal, Jim Harbaugh lost his $36.7 million contract with Michigan, which was to stretch till 2026. But he denied all allegations, stating, “I do not have any knowledge or information regarding the University of Michigan football program illegally stealing signals, nor have I directed staff members or others to participate in an off-campus scouting assignment.“

Although Connor Stalions had been fired as a football analyst, there could still be some henchmen out there who must face an equal consequence. Is Jim Harbaugh as innocent as he pleads, or is there something darker lurking behind the denial? Hopefully, time will unearth everything.
