Connor Stalions goes on the record in documentary, and he is not sorry

Connor Stalions is on the record, and he is not sorry.

"I don't regret a thing, and I would do the same thing over again," Stalions said in a new Netflix documentary titled "Untold: Sign Stealer," which launched on Tuesday.

Stalions, of course, has been at the center of an NCAA investigation into an in-person scouting and sign-stealing operation he is alleged to have run at the University of Michigan.

The NCAA has delivered a notice of allegations to the school. Sanctions could follow. Fans clamoring for an admission of guilt from Stalions and U-M will not get one.

What should be a story about the best Michigan team of all-time became a story about Stalions instead. His story is not only fascinating, but has been mostly told through second and third-hand accounts.

Stalions was raised to be a Michigan fan by Michigan superfans.

"We are crazed Michigan fans," Stalions' mother, Kelly, said in the documentary.

Featured in the documentary is video of Stalions crying after Michigan won the 1997 national title. As a kid, he dressed as Michigan coach Bo Schembechler for Halloween. Later, he decided to serve in the U.S. armed forces because he once read that 15 of the 20 top coaches of all-time had served in the military. 

And that was the reason he chose to pursue appointment and selection to the Naval Academy.

Stalions first began deciphering opponent signals on his first game day as a student coach at Navy on August 30, 2014 — against Ohio State. Four years later, he graduated, joined the U.S. Marines and earned the rank of captain. And he still held close his ambition to coach at Michigan.

"There's so much drive with this kid," said Detroit News reporter Tony Paul in the film, "maybe too much drive."
