Pat McAfee threw some shade at Conor Stalions out of nowhere during the cast of ESPN’s “College GameDay” after Kirk Herbstreit’s microphone broke while discussing Texas’ win over Kansas State this weekend.

The strange crack occurred after Herbstreit brought up technical issues he encountered during Saturday’s show, which was likely due to some kind of glitch. No one knew the reason behind it.

“Probably Connor Stalions,” McAfee responded, referring to the departed Michigan recruiting analyst who allegedly led the entire sign-stealing scheme from the school’s football team.

‘Where is that son of ab****?’

Stals resigned Friday while the NCAA investigates claims that the Wolverines actually cheated over the past two to three years.

He said in a statement: “I love the University of Michigan and its football program. And I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I have had to work with incredible student-athletes, Coach Harbaugh and the other coaches who have been part of the Michigan family during my tenure.

“I don’t want to be a distraction from what I hope will be a championship game for the team, and I will continue to cheer them on.”

Stalion’s attorney said in a statement to The Athletic that his client has chosen to resign because stories about him have caused a distraction for the second-ranked Wolverines, who defeated Purdue on Saturday night and are among the favorites to win the reach the College Football Playoff.

‘Connor would also like to make it clear that, to his knowledge, neither coach (Jim) Harbaugh nor any other coach or staff member told anyone to break the rules or was aware of any inappropriate behavior regarding the recent allegations of advanced scouting,” the lawyer said. said Brad Beckworth.

On Friday, Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti met with Michigan President Santa Ono and athletic director Warde Manuel as the conference weighs whether to punish the Wolverines.

Big Ten spokeswoman Diane Dietz confirmed that Petitti had met with Ono and Warde, but did not provide details.

Multiple Big Ten schools have reportedly found records of tickets purchased in Stalion’s name for their games and surveillance video of the people sitting in those seats pointing their cellphones at the field.

Photos online suggest Stalion was on the Central Michigan sideline during the Sept. 1 game against Michigan State, wearing CMU gear and sunglasses.
