MSU Football’s future games with CMU reportedly in ‘jeopardy’ amid Stalions investigation

Michigan State is scheduled to play Central Michigan next in 2027 and 2030

Michigan State football reportedly could move away from their future scheduled games against Central Michigan amid Connor Stalions investigation.

The Detroit News is reporting that Michigan State’s future matchups with the Chippewas are in “jeopardy” amid the Stalions investigation. Stalions — who is the mastermind behind Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal from the last few seasons — is believed to have been on Central Michigan’s sidelines against Michigan State last season. The man who is believed to be Stalions was wearing sunglasses and disguised as a Central Michigan staffer for the game.

Central Michigan has been investigating this allegation of Stalions illegally being on their sidelines for the game against Michigan State. However, that investigation is still ongoing.

Michigan State is scheduled to host Central Michigan in 2027 and 2030.

WATCH: CMU head coach Jim McElwain responds to Connor Stalions sidelines investigation

Jim McElwain responds to investigation of Connor Stalions potentially being on sidelines for MSU-CMU game earlier this year

A wild potential cheating scandal got even more interesting on Tuesday, with Michigan State now in the middle of the latest investigation.

On Tuesday, images and videos surfaced of what could be Michigan staff member Connor Stalions in disguise on the Central Michigan sidelines for the season-opening matchup against Michigan State. Stalions is the subject of a potential sign-stealing scandal to benefit the Wolverines that has dominated the college football headlines for the past two weeks.

Below are a few photos that have gotten the most attention with many speculating this to be Stalions on the sidelines:

Whether or not you believe it’s him is up to you, but this got enough traction to where Central Michigan announced on Tuesday that they will open an investigation into this potential illegal sideline presence of Stalions. This also resulted in Central Michigan head coach Jim McElwain being forced to address the matter after his team’s victory over Northern Illinois on Tuesday night.

Here’s what McElwain had to say — courtesy of Kennedy Broadwell:

I’m not going to personally weigh-in on this situation since it’s so complex and like all of us, I don’t truly know if that was Stalions or not on the sidelines. But hearing McElwain essentially say he has no idea who this person was on his sidelines for the Michigan State game is certainly notable.

This is an on-going investigation so we will all have to stay tuned to see how this plays out in the coming days or weeks.

The Spartans led only by a field goal at halftime, but were able to outscore the Chippewas 21-0 in the second half to pick up the 31-7 victory. With the win, Michigan State improves to 1-0 on the season and will return to the field next week against FCS-foe Richmond.
