NCAA Appeals Panel Upholds 8-Year Show-Cause for Ex-Michigan Analyst Connor Stalions

The decision finalizes Level I-Aggravated sanctions for a multi-year off-campus scouting scheme.

Overview

  • The Division I Infractions Appeals Committee denied Stalions’ appeal and affirmed all violations and aggravating factors.
  • The ruling keeps an eight-year show-cause in place through 2033, requiring any NCAA school to petition to hire him and to impose a one-year suspension if approved.
  • Investigators found he directed a 2021–2023 effort that purchased tickets and recorded opponents’ sideline signals, and they said he failed to cooperate.
  • The appeals panel rejected claims of procedural errors and misapplied bylaws, citing proper use of confidential sources and noting Stalions agreed to underlying facts.
  • Michigan also received program penalties, including a 10-year show-cause for Jim Harbaugh, a suspension and show-cause for Sherrone Moore, probation and fines without a postseason ban.
