Central Michigan releases statement on Connor Stalions

CMU has released a statement on Connor Stalions’ Netflix documentary and his involvement with their game against MSU:

Amid the release of the Netflix documentary outlining the Connor Stalions situation with Michigan, the documentary outlined Stallions and his involvement being on Central Michigan’s sideline during their matchup with Michigan State last season.

The statement released by CMU stated:

We are aware of inferences made in the new Netflix documentary regarding former University of Michigan football staff member Connor Stalions accessing the CMU sidelines during our opening game last September. For the past ten months, CMU has fully cooperated with the NCAA’s ongoing investigation, and we will continue to cooperate with the NCAA as it works to complete its investigation. NCAA Bylaws expressly prohibit CMU from publicly commenting on the details of the case at this time. We are eager to bring this matter to a fair and prompt conclusion and to share what we know. We appreciate the patience and support of our community.

At this time, it does not seem like CMU is rushing to find a proper conclusion to this issue.
