The latest development coming from the suspended Michigan Wolverines football staff member at the center of a sign-stealing probe has him purchasing tickets to more than 30 games at 11 different Big Ten schools over the past three seasons, according to a media report.

ESPN learned that Connor Stalions, who was suspended with pay by Michigan, was found to have purchased the tickets and sent them to at least three different individuals in different parts of the country.

The tickets that were purchased by Stalions were as recent as this past week’s game between Ohio State and Penn State, though ESPN reports that the tickets were not used on Saturday.

The NCAA is also expected to get video evidence that people in those seats purchased by Stalions used illegal scouting technology; an opposing Big Ten school used in-stadium video surveillance to see a person in the seat using a smartphone positioned at the home team’s sideline for the entirety of the game.

Michigan was never the opponent in the game where tickets were purchased by Stalions, sources said to ESPN. However, the tickets were purchased for games where the opponents were facing Michigan later in the season, with the position of the seats "somewhere around the 45-yard line and raised up enough for a clear view of the opposite sideline."
