REPORT: CMU To Investigate Possible Connor Stalions Sideline Presence Against MSU

In a whole new plot twist, photos have emerged of a possible Connor Stalions sighting on the CMU sidelines.

Another day, another plot twist involving Connor Stalions and Michigan football.

Photos emerged late Monday night into Tuesday morning of somebody who resembled suspended Michigan staffer Connor Stalions on the Central Michigan sideline during the opening game against -- Michigan State. The game took place back on Fri. Sept 1. 

Tuesday afternoon, ESPN reported Central Michigan is investigating Stalions' possible sideline presence against the Spartans. 

Central Michigan is investigating photos that show a man resembling Michigan Wolverines staff member Connor Stalions on its sideline for the Sept. 1 opener at Michigan State.

Athletic director Amy Folan, in a statement to ESPN, said the school became aware of the photos late Monday. The man resembling Stalions is dressed in Central Michigan-issued gear and standing alongside several of the team's coaches, while wearing a bench credential.

The credential reads "VB" and appears to be designated for the visiting bench area, which is different than a general sideline pass. It gives access to the designated area between the 20-yard lines, which is reserved for players, coaches, trainers and equipment staff. Schools are given a finite amount of passes for each game.

"We are in the process of determining the facts surrounding them," Folan's statement reads. "As this process is ongoing, we have no further comment at this time."

The photos of the man above in question, make him appear to have hair. Stalions does not have any hair and was on the Michigan sideline the very next day against East Carolina for the home opener. It's not out of question that, if it was Stalions, he was wearing a wig and sunglasses so he didn't stand out on the CMU sidelines. 

We will continue to update when more information becomes available.
