Netflix announced that the upcoming fourth season of 'Untold' will feature an episode titled 'Sign Stealer,' shedding light on an alleged sign-stealing scandal within the Michigan football team. The episode is scheduled to air on August 27 and will showcase Connor Stalions sharing his perspective on the controversy that unfolded before the Wolverines clinched the national championship.
Stalions, a former member of coach Jim Harbaugh's staff, resigned in November amidst accusations of engaging in a sign-stealing scheme. The allegations suggested that Stalions purchased tickets to observe future opponents and dispatched individuals to record the opponents' play signals digitally, a practice prohibited by the NCAA.
The NCAA has been conducting an investigation into Michigan's scouting system to ascertain the extent of its organization and identify individuals who were aware of the scheme. Evidence from other Big Ten schools indicated that Stalions had procured tickets for multiple games involving upcoming opponents. Following the initial suspension, Stalions eventually resigned from his position.
NCAA President Charlie Baker has affirmed that Michigan's national championship victory was achieved through fair means. However, the Big Ten Conference took action against Harbaugh, prohibiting him from coaching the team in the final three games of the regular season due to violations of the conference's sportsmanship policy.
Harbaugh, who has since departed to lead the Los Angeles Chargers, has consistently denied any knowledge of illicit scouting practices within his program. The investigation into the sign-stealing scandal continues to unfold as the college football community awaits further developments.
