Connor Stalions has become the central figure in two NCAA investigations this year and is now looking to capitalize on his notoriety.
The former Michigan staffer, who allegedly orchestrated an in-person scouting scheme that violates NCAA rules, has created an account on Cameo, an online platform where fans pay public figures for personalized video messages.
Stalions is willing to record personalized videos, such as a birthday shoutout, pep talk or game recap, for fans willing to pay $75, according to his Cameo profile. For $3, fans can send him a personal message.
Stalions resigned from Michigan in November and is not eligible for rehire at the university after ESPN reported that the former analyst purchased tickets to more than 35 college football games over three years and then distributed those tickets electronically to different people around the country.
The NCAA and Central Michigan University also opened a different probe to investigate whether former Stalions, who was hired full-time by Michigan as an analyst in 2022, gained access to the Chippewas’ sideline during their season-opener against Michigan State in East Lansing.
Sign-stealing is not against NCAA rules, but the act of scouting a future opponent in person and using electronic devices to capture signals is considered a violation, according to the governing body of college athletics.
The matter is still being investigated by the NCAA as Michigan is coming off a 15-0 season and its first national championship since 1997.
Stalions and Michigan’s football program has remained in the spotlight since he resigned. The self-professed Michigan fan apparently was in the stands for the Wolverines’ Rose Bowl victory over Alabama on Jan. 1.
Former Michigan defensive end standout Chase Winovich, who was sitting a couple of rows behind the Wolverines’ bench, posted video from the game on his Instagram story and tagged Stalions’ private account in the post.
