The Michigan Wolverines are having a great season, yet sign-stealing allegations surrounding former Michigan analyst Connor Stalions, who resigned on Friday, have created what could be a distraction for the team. However, the team didn’t let the distraction, or the constant leaks about the situation impact their performance on the field. Michigan beat Purdue handily 41-13.
There have been reports the past few days of Big Ten athletic directors and coaches calling for Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh to be punished in light of the Stalions allegations — even though Stalions and his attorney released a statement on Friday night saying that Harbaugh and the staff didn’t break any rules and wasn’t aware of improper conduct.
