After nearly two years of investigation and speculation, the Michigan advanced scouting case has finally reached a resolution. Former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions was accused of orchestrating an advanced scouting operation that involved sending individuals to future opponents' games to record their sideline signals. While sign-stealing through game film and during games is a common practice, Stalions was accused of crossing that line by engaging in prohibited in-person scouting.

On Friday, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported what the punishments would be via the NCAA COI ruling:

The full report from the NCAA is scheduled to be released at noon, followed by a press call at 1 pm ET. Additional updates will be provided at that time.
