Reports surfaced Thursday afternoon that the NCAA is probing Michigan to determine if it violated Bylaw 11.6.1, which prohibits staff members from engaging in “off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents.”

On the latest episode of “Wolverine Confidential” podcast, MLive’s Ryan Zuke and Aaron McMann discuss the latest developments in the investigation and the potential impacts it could have for 2023 and beyond.

ESPN reported Friday that the primary subject of the investigation is analyst Connor Stalions, a retired captain with the U.S. Marine Corps who rose from superfan to volunteer to full-time staffer

He has since been suspended “with pay” pending the conclusion of the investigation. Head coach Jim Harbaugh, who served a three-game suspension to begin this season over alleged recruiting violations, has denied having any knowledge or information of the alleged sign stealing or off-campus scouting practices.
