The NCAA has joined Central Michigan in investigating a man resembling former Michigan staff member Connor Stalions who appeared on the Chippewas' sideline in team-issued gear for their Sept.
1 season opener at Michigan State. Athletic director Amy Folan, in a statement to ESPN, confirmed that Central Michigan «continues its review of the matter in cooperation with the NCAA.» Folan announced this past Tuesday that Central Michigan would investigate the man after receiving photos of him one day earlier.
Stalions, at the center of the NCAA's investigation into Michigan for off-campus scouting and signal stealing, resigned from his position Friday after initially being suspended with pay pending the outcome of the investigation.
The man in the images wore the same attire as Central Michigan's coaches and other sideline personnel, as well as sunglasses for the night game at Spartan Stadium.
