Michigan fired Connor Stalions, a recruiting analyst, amidst an NCAA investigation into allegations of sign-stealing by the Wolverines. Stalions was initially suspended, but his refusal to cooperate with investigations led to his termination. The NCAA was interested in accessing Stalions’ computer due to his alleged involvement in the operation. Central Michigan also started an inquiry after photos suggested Stalions was on their sideline during a game. TCU reportedly changed play-call signals before facing Michigan in the College Football Playoff due to suspicions. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh denies any knowledge of the alleged sign-stealing.
