The smoking gun has been revealed in the Michigan football sign-stealing scandal.
According to ESPN, video evidence is expected to be submitted to the NCAA later this week.
“Michigan staffer Connor Stalions purchased tickets for over 30 games at 11 Big Ten schools over the past three years. Additionally, video evidence of sideline taping, caught by stadium surveillance this year, is expected to be forwarded to the NCAA this week,” reported ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Monday.

Connor Stalions, the Michigan staffer, has been suspended without pay.
Here are the emerging details of the scandal:
Sources confirmed to ESPN that Stalions purchased tickets on both sides of the stadium — across from each bench — for Ohio State’s game with Penn State on Saturday. Michigan plays both teams in upcoming weeks. According to sources, the tickets purchased by Stalions were not used on Saturday. Stalions’ name emerged publicly in an ESPN story on Friday. He was suspended with pay by Michigan.
Notably, none of the tickets reported by the 11 schools involved Michigan as an opponent, as per sources. The games in question featured either one or both of the teams that Michigan was set to face later in the year, sources confirmed.
Michigan maintained its undefeated record in the 2023 season with a victory over Michigan State on Saturday night.
It appears that Jim Harbaugh may soon be considering a move to the NFL.
