The Michigan Wolverines have taken the first action in the sign-stealing scandal. They have fired the analyst involved in the stealing saga. Connor Stalions is leaving the program and will not be associated with the Wolverines going forward.
The scandal broke out when the Wolverines were accused of trying to steal the signs that other teams use to get an advantage over their future opponents. Many have been calling for head coach Jim Harbaugh to step down. It looks like the axe has fallen on Stalions.
