Michigan has officially received its notice of allegations from the NCAA concerning an investigation into alleged sign stealing activities involving former Wolverines analyst Connor Stalions. According to reports, the NCAA’s policy allows Michigan 90 days to respond to the allegations, setting a deadline for late November to address the claims.
The NCAA confirmed the distribution of the notice in a statement, emphasizing the need to protect the integrity of the process as it unfolds. The organization stated that they will not comment further on the specifics of the case as it progresses. A draft of the notice was leaked three weeks ago, indicating potential repercussions for Michigan’s football staff.
Former staff members Jesse Minter and Denard Robinson have chosen to collaborate with the NCAA to reach a negotiated resolution, according to sources, while other involved parties will work through the Committee on Infractions.
Michigan coach Sherrone Moore could face a suspension for allegedly deleting messages linked to Stalions, raising concerns since he is already viewed as a potential “repeat violator” due to previous infractions related to illegal recruiting practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jim Harbaugh, the former Michigan coach who currently leads the Los Angeles Chargers, received a notable four-year show-cause penalty for his involvement in those prior violations.
The scandal surrounding sign stealing points to Stalions reportedly orchestrating a large operation that included purchasing tickets for over 30 games and using “illegal technology” to steal signs. The accusations state that Straliions engaged in scouting efforts at a Central Michigan game while disguised, actions that seriously threatened the integrity of collegiate athletics.
Further allegations suggest that Stalions removed computer hard drives from the Michigan football facilities and provided a player with play call sheets from opponents. He is expected to share his perspective in an upcoming Netflix documentary set to release Tuesday.
As the situation continues to develop, it’s noteworthy that with Stalions’ dismissal from Michigan coinciding with the scrutiny intensifying, Sherrone Moore remains the only staff member implicated in these allegations still associated with the university.
