Connor Stalions Admits Role in Sign-Stealing Scandal

The ongoing saga surrounding former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions has revealed his controversial role in a sign-stealing scandal. In a recent podcast appearance, Stalions admitted to providing Ohio State with Michigan State's signals during the 2021 season to ensure the Buckeyes would defeat the Spartans, allowing Michigan a chance to compete for the Big Ten title. He disguised the signals to appear as if they came from a different school, motivated by the Wolverines' need for Ohio State's victory following their loss to Michigan State. This admission follows the release of a Netflix documentary highlighting his actions, which included sleeping in his car and renting out his house to support his volunteer role. Stalions' comments have sparked further outrage among rival teams, particularly from former Ohio State players who have recounted instances of Michigan seemingly knowing their plays. Despite criticism, Stalions expressed a belief in a widespread network of signal-sharing among teams.
