Michigan’s ex-sign stealer Connor Stalions says in Netflix documentary he did not break NCAA rules

Associated Press

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “If I’m a bad guy, then everyone in football is a bad guy,” Stalions said on the latest release of “UNTOLD” on the streaming service. NCAA rules do not prohibit stealing signs, a role Stalions appeared to have on former coach Jim Harbaugh’s staff with the Wolverines, but the governing body does ban advance scouting. Stalions attended last season’s win over Ohio State, where former linebacker Michael Barrett confirmed in the documentary he saw him at Michigan Stadium. “No matter how people view Connor in this film, he should have a career in football and hope he is given that choice.” Stalions is currently a volunteer coach at Detroit Mumford High School, serving as the football team’s defensive coordinator.
