Former Michigan Wolverines football staffer Connor Stalions sent one post on social media as he watched the team wrap up a national championship against Washington on Monday night.

Stalions fired off a GIF of a man tipping his cap as the final whistle blew. It appeared to be icing on the cake for the former personnel member after he was ousted over his alleged involvement in a sign-stealing scheme that cast a dark cloud over the program during the season.

Stalions was also seen in the stands with former Michigan linebacker Chase Winovich during the team’s Rose Bowl win over Alabama on New Year’s Day.

He resigned from the staff in November after he was accused of being the ringleader of the sign-stealing scheme.

Stalions reportedly purchased tickets to more than 30 games at 11 different Big Ten schools over the past three seasons, including this season. Michigan was not playing in any of the games for which Stalions bought tickets, sources told ESPN.

An unnamed former coach from college football's Division III then claimed Stalions gave him "a couple hundred dollars" for the recordings of the Wolverines' future opponents, ESPN reported. The coach added that he received free tickets and shared the footage via an iPhone photo album.
