Connor Stalions reacts to Michigan’s national championship win over Washington
By Paul Harvey
Published:
Connor Stalions did not waste any time getting back on social media after Michigan’s national title victory.
By now, Stalions’ name is known throughout the country as the former UM analyst at the center of an ongoing NCAA investigation into Jim Harbaugh’s program. Stalions allegedly orchestrated a major in-person scouting ring throughout the country, a violation of NCAA rules.
Shortly after the investigation began, Stalions scrubbed his social media accounts and deactivated his X (formerly Twitter) account. He would eventually resign from his post during the season.
Though no longer with the program, Stalions made waves last week while in attendance for Michigan’s Rose Bowl victory over Alabama. Now, he’s reacting to the CFP National Championship after reactivating his account on X.
Stalions’ reaction was brief enough, simply tweeting out a gif of a fist pump to punctuate the win:

While there will be questions about the validating of the post, it does indeed appear to be from the same account Stalions previously used while still with the program. If it is indeed Stalions, his post stirred up plenty of fans on social media for obvious reasons.
The reaction to the post was split, mainly between Michigan fans and those who are not fans:

Nobody regrets cheating if it pays off. Barry Bonds hit 70 home runs, the Houston Astros won a World Series, and Michigan won a Natty. https://t.co/oaE9rvBCAZ
