In the latest development surrounding former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions, a new video has emerged, shedding more light on the extent of his actions. This revelation appears to provide context to Michigan and Jim Harbaugh agreeing to the Big Ten’s three-game suspension of Harbaugh.
The video captures Stalions actively participating on the Michigan sidelines, where he was allegedly involved in stealing signs from the opposing team. Stalions is seen relaying information to coaches based on the signs he observed being communicated to players on the field.

The reported scheme orchestrated by Stalions is described as a complex, multiyear operation. It involved him purchasing tickets to games featuring future Michigan opponents and deploying associates to attend these games, recording the play-call signals of the opposing teams.
Stalions is said to have acquired tickets for over 30 games, including non-conference matchups, as part of his extensive scouting efforts to pilfer signs and signals.
The university’s decision to drop legal action against the Big Ten over Jim Harbaugh’s suspension came amid the emergence of new evidence and concerns surrounding linebackers coach Chris Partridge, who was subsequently fired by Michigan on Friday.
