The NCAA has rejected Connor Stalions' appeal regarding his suspension tied to the Michigan sign-stealing scandal. Stalions, a former assistant coach under Jim Harbaugh, had sought reinstatement after being banned from college football coaching roles due to his involvement in the investigation. The decision confirms that he will remain ineligible to work in collegiate athletics for the foreseeable future.
The ruling follows an extensive review of evidence related to the use of unauthorized signals during games. While Stalions maintained his cooperation and claimed limited responsibility, the NCAA upheld its initial sanctions. The outcome marks a significant setback for his return to the sport, reinforcing the organization’s stance on maintaining integrity in college football.
