A Michigan staffer’s alleged electronic sign-stealing operation included purchasing tickets for at least one Alabama football game according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Mark Schlabach. The report says currently suspended Wolverine analyst Connor Stalions bought tickets for the 2021 SEC championship game on the secondary market.

Alabama won that game against Georgia. The Bulldogs would later take revenge in that season’s national title game, after beating Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, the ticket-buying operation “is believed” to have included four non-Big Ten schools, including Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Oregon.

The reports come after the Big Ten announced the NCAA was investigating Michigan last week. The school has suspended Stalions without pay, after ESPN reported he is the center of the investigation.

“The Big Ten Conference and University of Michigan were notified by the NCAA that the NCAA was investigating allegations of sign stealing by the University of Michigan football program,” A Big Ten statement read on Thursday. “The Big Ten Conference has notified Michigan State University and future opponents. The Big Ten Conference considers the integrity of competition to be of utmost importance and will continue to monitor the investigation. The Conference will have no further comment at this time.”

Michigan beat Michigan State on Saturday.

The ESPN report also noted Stalions bought tickets to last season’s SEC title game, between Georgia and LSU. The SEC did not immediately respond to a query from AL.com as to whether it was aware of Stalions purchasing tickets for the 2021 and 2022 championships, or any other games featuring its teams.

According to reports, the analyst would buy tickets to games around the country featuring possible Michigan opponents, then forward them to other people, who would attend games and attempt to record play-calling signals.

Previous reports said Stalions bought tickets at 11 different Big Ten schools over the past three years. Evidence has reportedly been sent to the NCAA to show Michigan’s sign-stealing included electronic means.
