Here's what you need to know about Connor Stalions' fallout from the NCAA punishments toward Michigan for sign-stealing, and the impact it has on him.

The NCAA handed out on Friday its punishment for Michigan's involvement in the Connor Stalions scandal, which made major headlines during the 2023 season. ESPN's Pete Thamel reported some of the punishments the Wolverines football program will receive.

Jim Harbaugh was given a 10-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA and Stalions got 8 years for the Wolverines' advance scouting scheme.

The 74-page NCAA report detailed the rift between Jim Harbaugh's football program and the Michigan compliance department.

The NCAA says former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions called his sprawling network of in-person scouting the 'KGB.'

Outside of Connor Stalions, if anyone has been the face of Michigan football's 'signgate' saga, it's been ESPN reporter Pete Thamel. The one reporting on the allegations throughout the process, he became a villain to fans in Ann Arbor and a hero to those in Columbus and East Lansing.
