The University of Michigan Football program’s sign-stealing scandal has taken the college football world by storm and everyone wants a piece of the cake.
Last week, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that the NCAA was investigating Michigan for an alleged sign-stealing scheme, which centers on a recruiting staffer named Connor Stalions. According to Thamel’s sources, “it was known in the building that he spent much of his time deciphering opponents’ signals, often watching television copies of opponents’ games.”
This week, everyone from former players to current coaches has commented on the scandal. Detroit Lions pass rusher and former Wolverine, Aidan Hutchinson, is the latest to offer his opinion on the ongoing cheating scandal.

“I don’t really know man,” the Lions second-year player told a group of reporters Thursday. “They’re doing all their investigations and their coming at Michigan when Michigan’s got a shot to win the national championship this year. I don’t know. It is what it is, I guess. Time will pass and people will forget about it and move on once we’re the champs again.”
Hutchinson said that someone was “probably” out to get the Wolverines.
He maintains that he did not have a relationship with Stalions and described him as one of the coaches upstairs that “you don’t ever see.”
“I don’t think any of the players had a relationship with him, ever,” he said.
Obviously, that remains to be seen.
