Connor Stalions, the central figure in sign-stealing allegations involving the Michigan program, was in Pasadena on Monday taking in the Wolverines’ win over Alabama in the Rose Bowl.
Stalions, obviously, wasn’t on the sideline. But he did appear to be there with former Michigan defensive end and ex-NFL player Chase Winovich, who posted a video of Stalions to his Instagram story:
The former Michigan analyst, who was suspended amid an investigation by both the Big Ten and the NCAA and later resigned, doesn’t appear to be laying low even after a season with him embroiled in the middle of controversy. Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh, who served a 3-game suspension levied by the university at the beginning of the season after recruiting violations committed during a 15-month dead period due to COVID-19, later was suspended by the B1G for another 3 games as part of the sign-stealing investigation.
Michigan, for its part, defeated Alabama 27-20 in overtime to move on to the CFP national championship game in Houston, where it will face Washington.
