Netflix plans documentary about Michigan sign thief | National

Connor Stalions, the central figure in the Michigan football game sign-stealing scandal, will speak out for the first time about his actions. An episode of the Netflix documentary series “Untold,” set to premiere Aug. 27, will focus on Stalions’ account. Both the NCAA and Big Ten Conference ruled last year that Michigan illegally conducted in-person scouting of future opponents and potential future opponents. Stalions was considered the main culprit in the operation because he had purchased tickets to games of teams the Wolverines were scheduled to play and then been spotted at those venues. Stalions resigned from his post on the Michigan football staff during the 2023 season, which ended with the Wolverines going undefeated and winning the national championship. Then-Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh denied any knowledge of illegal scouting but was still suspended by the Big Ten for three games to end the 2023 regular season. Micah Brown, a former Kansas football player who has directed documentaries for ESPN and Peacock, is directing the Stalions episode. Netflix also announced the subject of two more upcoming episodes of Untold. A look at the murder of former star quarterback Steve McNair will air on August 20, and an examination of former star goalkeeper Hope Solo’s feud with US Soccer will be available on September 3. – Field Level Media
