In its 79-page report of the ruling regarding sign-stealing, the NCAA revealed that a student-athlete lied about his claim that former linebackers coach Chris Partridge asked players not to cooperate with investigators. Partridge was fired in November 2023, just weeks after the investigation began; however, Partridge was not penalized by the NCAA following the conclusion of its investigation.

The NCAA report also stated that a student-athlete recorded a phone call with Connor Stalions, the centerpiece of the investigation, who received an eight-year show-cause penalty from the NCAA. Additionally, the NCAA revealed that a campus source at Michigan provided material information to an unnamed private investigation firm.

CBS News Detroit has been provided information from a private investigator that shows that the student-athlete who lied to the NCAA about Partridge is the same student-athlete who recorded a phone call with Stalions without his consent. The private investigator also informed CBS News Detroit that the student-athlete and the campus source are the same individual, who is a former player on the team.

The private investigator presented evidence that the same student-athlete who lied to the NCAA regarding Partridge – and who recorded a phone call with Stalions – took videos from the former Michigan staffer's personal computer in an unauthorized manner, and handed the videos over to the unnamed private investigation firm, which turned them over to the NCAA within 24 hours to start the NCAA investigation.

A Dearborn, Michigan, attorney who has been following the developments closely said he believes Michigan could win its appeal in state court.




OSU player (who was then at UM) Joey Velasquez took a photo of Connor stallions computer screen and his face could be seen in the reflection.

Are you certain that's who it is? Otherwise, it's pretty reckless to be throwing out someone's name like this

Sounds a lot like Harbaugh couldn't keep control of his team....

This whistleblower is a hero to college football

Edit: you should probably make it clear that he would have done this WHILE at Michigan and not while at OSU. Again this is not a genuine title

You're right, he's guilty. Lets go ahead and self ban Ryan Day against Grambling, Ohio, and UCLA. Lets also go ahead and throw a $5M fine in there as well.

What else?

The best part of this whole sign stealing saga is that for years and years Michigan fans always claimed to be above cheating and gray areas. They would rather lose doing things the right way. Tress and Urb broke them and now they defend cheating. For the record I wish Ohio State had thought of this and did it but without getting caught. Cheating is something that will always happen in sports but if you get caught take the punishment and try not to get caught next time.

The only way to be sure that the true perpetrators are punished is to strip Michigan and aOSU of their titles and give them both 5 year postseason bans.

You know, for the integrity of the game.

In light of UM and OSU’s titles being vacated, Auburn and Alabama have both made competing retroactive claims to the 2023 and 2024 titles
