Michigan Football Staffer Implicated in Sign-Stealing Scandal Also Owns Business in Wyoming
The Connor Stalions University of Michigan football sign-stealing scandal has continued to unravel, with new developments surfacing, including a curious connection to the state of Wyoming.
Stalions: A Controversial Figure in College Michigan Football
In recent times, Connor Stalions has gained notoriety as a central figure in Division I college football, particularly in the ongoing investigation into alleged sign-stealing practices within the University of Michigan’s football program.
A Wolverine’s Unusual Wyoming Link
While the NCAA, Big 10 Conference, and the university diligently probe the allegations against Stalions, another intriguing aspect of his life has come to light—an unexpected link to Wyoming.
Records available online indicate that Stalions is registered as the owner of a business listed with the Wyoming Secretary of State, known as “BC2 Housing.” This limited liability company was established on March 28, 2022, and remains active, having renewed its license for the current year.
At this time, Stalions has not responded to inquiries from Cowboy State Daily regarding his decision to register his business in Wyoming or the nature of its operations.
It’s worth noting that Wyoming is renowned for having some of the most lenient business registration laws in the United States.
BC2 Housing: A Mystery Business
The true purpose and operations of BC2 Housing are shrouded in mystery. It is unclear whether it functions as a legitimate business or if it serves as a shell company for other undisclosed activities.
Of interest, current Michigan football player Blake Corum is listed as a party associated with this business. Given that Corum’s initials and jersey number are “BC2,” this could explain the company’s name. However, if it is discovered that Corum had a significant involvement with this business, it could potentially raise concerns related to student-athlete and coach relationships, potentially violating existing laws.
In response to these claims, Corum vehemently denied any affiliation with BC2 Housing in a statement to the Detroit Free Press. He declared, “First of all, I have no business with him, I don’t have any businesses with Connor or anything like that. But I’m glad whoever found it, whoever searched the web, was able to find that, I appreciate you. My attorneys are on it, definitely get that figured out right away, get my name taken off of whatever it is.”
The Allegations and Additional Controversies
Stalions is alleged to have purchased sideline tickets for Michigan’s future opponents, which were then provided to accomplices responsible for recording the opposing team’s signals. These recordings were later sent back to Stalions for analysis and decoding.
Recent reports from the Wall Street Journal have also revealed that Stalions faced a separate lawsuit from his homeowners’ association. The lawsuit alleged that he ran a secondary business, involving the sale of vacuum cleaners from his residence.
While the NCAA investigates Stalions and the University of Michigan football program, the school is awaiting a decision from the Big 10 conference regarding potential disciplinary actions. The university is reportedly preparing a legal response should a suspension be imposed prior to the completion of the sign-stealing investigation.
Notably, ESPN has reported that the Big 10 has issued Michigan with a notice of disciplinary action, in accordance with the sportsmanship policy, in case the institution is found liable for penalties related to the ongoing investigation.
