As the tweet above describes, if CMU knew who this was and it wasn't Connor Stalions, they would have said so immediately.

Michigan is being painfully quiet about this whole situation. I realize they have to get their ducks in a row with PR, lawyers, etc, but the fact that they haven't publicly refuted any of these claims (other than the par for the course coach speak from Harbaugh in a press conference) is very telling and also somewhat confusing. Wouldn't you want to let people know this Stalions guy was a rogue agent? Or was he? His salary indicated he couldn't possibly afford the flights and tickets for all these games, so how are those being paid for? Under the table? Then they rescinded Harbaugh's contract extension, which more or less was ready to be signed before this came out.

It's a dumb, but fascinating story. Pretty much college football in a nutshell.

He figured out your publicly viewable by millions poster board sign of two bears doing back flips meant run? Okay.... then be better at disguising your plays...? He knows your audible - publicly viewable by millions - of scratching your left ear and wiggling your right butt cheek means pass? Awesome. He needs a raise then. You still have to stop the play. You still have to stuff the run. Defend the pass. There are levels. Check downs. Route trees. Why am I defending Michigan? I hate it here.
This describes this silliness for me. If there was no highly specific rule against it, the uproar would be laughable. However, there is a rule, as silly as I may think it is.

Therefore, cheating, I guess. And the way Harbaughs coming on, the wolves are coming after him. Guess who will be first in line? Here’s a hint: He woke up on third base and thought he hit a triple.

Defector has an excellent story today. While not confirmed, but pretty certain, Conor Stalions was once a simple message board poster.

Can't wait until one of our resident Bobcat Attacker's writes a 500 page manifesto about an Ohio sports team. My vote is FearLeon on the basketball board.

It's totally normal in politics and being famous for just denying you knew the person and it's a pass, it's not just college football, its our society, we've put such a priority on just winning, there is very little care on the "how you win", the morals and ethics are in the "shitter" Clark, and that shitter is full!!!

Then they play this out and wait on an investigation, and after the fact, they don't want to punish the next coach or group of kids.

And how much money you think he's being paid to do that? This is like Bob Huggins, Rick Pitino, their personal assistant, or the unpaid volunteer doing things that the head guy had no clue about. Gets a show cause penalty, never able to work again, and Harbaugh gets a $10M a year NFL deal.

Considering that he likely was "just following orders," he probably is getting a large envelope full of unmarked cash.
