Sources: Michigan staffer bought tickets for non-Big Ten games

... ESPN also learned that Stalions, who is at the center of an NCAA investigation into Michigan's alleged sign-stealing operation, bought tickets to a 12th Big Ten school, as sources at 12 of the 13 possible Big Ten schools have a record of Stalions buying a ticket there. ESPN reported on Monday there were 11 schools.

There aren't 12 Big Ten schools that are worth illegally scouting, Maryland and Northwestern for example.

... So far, ESPN has confirmed that Stalions has purchased tickets to more than 35 games at 17 stadiums around the country. He has used a network of at least three people, who were forwarded the tickets to attend games.

... A source told ESPN that the Big Ten would want to have "as full of a picture of what the facts actually are if we were to act" before the NCAA completes its investigation, which likely would not occur until sometime in 2024.

Michigan should be banned from this season's Playoffs and Bowls.

In a statement last week, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh denied "illegally stealing signs" and said he had never "directed any staff member or others to participate in an off-campus scouting assignment."

Might be wishful thinking but I don't think that misogynist RW xtian Harbaugh survives this, even if it can't be "proved" that he knew.

NCAA enforcement timelines are notoriously slow. Michigan is still under investigation for recruiting violations tied to allegations that emerged during the COVID-19 mandated recruiting dead period. (Harbaugh served a school-imposed three-game suspension for those violations earlier this year, but the case remains unfinished.) ...

A different misogynist RW xtian abuse:

Jury finds Baylor University negligent, in violation of Title IX

Could have been an even more severe verdict and should have come years sooner, but it's still a victory and it's still $270K.


Misogynist RW xtians are unaccountable cowards, just like misogynist RW "xtian" Dolt .45.

Recording the sideline signs of future opponents. Way stupid that he got caught, all he needed to do is get a stand-in to buy the tix and use flunkies to do the recording.

Connor Stalions is a Naval Academy grad and former Marine Captain. Figures.

Scouting is probably the wrong word.
The placards and hand sign used by the bench to those on the field are off-limits to research by the opposing team. These sign are varied enough that it would take following a team through multiple games to learn their sign.

2 issues if I understand correctly -
Coaching staff is banned from attending opponent games.
Recording the sideline by anyone for team use is banned.

Clearly, these rules don't apply when you have RW xtian leadership. They get a free pass from god, they always do.

Different transgression:

FBI joins probe into ex-Michigan assistant football coach

The FBI has joined the University of Michigan police department's investigation of former Wolverines assistant football coach Matt Weiss, who was fired in January following a report of unauthorized computer access crimes at the school's football building.

Deputy chief Melissa Overton confirmed the FBI's involvement to ESPN on Thursday, adding that the investigation is "extensive, ongoing and is of the utmost priority," and covers multiple states....

A University of Michigan police department spokesperson told ESPN's Dan Murphy that the Weiss investigation is unrelated to the NCAA's probe of off-campus scouting and signal stealing involving the program and staff member Connor Stalions, who was around the program in 2021 before officially joining the staff in 2022.

Harbaugh's RW god will forgive.

Ex-D-III coach says U-M staffer hired him to record future Big 10 foes

... According to a LinkedIn page he has recently deleted, Stalions is a former officer in the Marine Corps who was hired as a member of the program's recruiting staff in 2022 and worked with the team as a volunteer for several years before then. Photos from recent Michigan games show he frequently stood next to the team's play callers on the sideline during games....

Why would a recruiter do that? Suuure, misogynist RW xtian Harbaugh was oblivious Wanna buy a bridge?

Michigan suspended Stalions with pay last Friday, and sources told ESPN that the NCAA is seeking his computer as part of their investigation.

"with pay"?

... He said for the three games he taped he received roughly $1,000 to cover his travel expenses and pay for his time. He said Stalions paid him from a personal Venmo account.

Where was moderately paid Stalions getting the money and how could Harbaugh not know?

... He said that before the news of the investigation was made public Stalions also provided him a ticket to this coming Saturday's game between Indiana and Penn State. He does not plan to attend.

Current sleaze

... One woman based in Jacksonville said she was friends with Stalions from their time together in the military but hung up abruptly when asked about attending last year's Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville....

Opps.
