Michigan Football Staffer Suspended Amid NCAA's Sign-Stealing Probe

Michigan has suspended football staffer Connor Stalions with pay amid an NCAA investigation into sign-stealing allegations. Stalions, a former Marine, is accused of using a "vast network" to steal opposing teams' signs. While sign-stealing is not illegal in college football, NCAA rules prohibit in-person scouting of future opponents in the same season. Stalions had developed a reputation for his skill in decoding opponents' signals, and Michigan has been known for cracking opponents' signaling systems.
