The achievement obtained by the University of Michigan reinforces the team’s opportunity to achieve its first national title in the College Football Playoff after 27 years, and dispel speculation that the performances are not enough due to the accusations made last year for a sign-stealing scheme.
Previously, according to ESPN and Associated Press, Connor Stallions was identified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as one of the suspects for committing infractions and stealing signs at the University of Michigan. Due to the action, the analyst was suspended indefinitely.
According to reports released by the NCAA, throughout the investigation into the University of Michigan football program, Connor Stallions was identified as the central figure in command of the sign stealing scheme and for illegally observing matches of other teams and the team’s opponents.
The investigation confirmed that the analyst purchased tickets for more than 30 games from the 11 universities that participate in the Big Ten Conference Football, over the last three seasons, and distributed them to different locations in the United States. The information states that the individuals attended the matches, “holding cell phones that appeared to be filming the team’s sideline.”
