NCAA confirms Connor Stalions was on Central Michigan sideline vs. Michigan State, helped decipher signals

The NCAA Infractions Committee confirmed that infamous former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions did, in fact, attend the Michigan State-Central Michigan game in 2023, according to its 74-page public infractions decision released Friday morning.

“On one occassion in 2023, Stalions personally engaged in-person scouting when he stood on Central Michigan University’s sideline wearing a bench pass and disguised in Central Michigan-issued coaching gear during the institution’s contest against Michigan State,” the NCAA document read. “According to interview statements by a former football staff member, Stalions attended that game in part to decipher Michigan State’s signals, but also to help a Central Michigan staff member with play calling.”

Central Michigan, which hosted Stalions on its sideline during its 2023 opener at Michigan State, received its own Notice of Allegations (NOA) from the NCAA on June 27 for its involvement in the scandal, according to the NCAA Division I Infractions online dashboard.
