Information just keeps piling up for the Wolverines. Initially, it was about Michigan staffer Connor Stalions sign-stealing. Later on came the amount of tickets he has purchased for people to attend college football games. This included 12-13 Big Ten opponents. He also bought tickets for a total of 35 games, and 17 different stadiums around the country, along with two SEC title games in 2021-22.

As of Thursday, it was reported that the NCAA has been visiting Michigan to look into video surveillance of Stalions being on the sidelines for the Wolverines. Now, based on a recent report by Dan Murphy, one former Division III coach has admitted to being paid by Connor Stalions to steal signals from Michigan opponents.

Former Division III Coach Admits To Sign Stealing For Michigan

According to the Division III coach, and former player, he was paid “a couple hundred dollars “ to record Michigan opponents.

The former coach and player attended three Big Ten Games. He was concerned about committing these actions stating: “I didn’t like it, but it’s a gray line,” he said. “You can call me naive, but no one is reading the bylaws. I’m not a contractual lawyer. … I just felt like if you’re not doing it, you’re not trying to get ahead.”

The person said that he visited Penn State earlier this month, and once last season. He apparently only recorded one half of a game. Trying to include as much of the sidelines as he could, including coaches signals, and team formations. He was paid roughly $1,000 dollars for travel expenses from Stalions personal Venmo account.
