Following Michigan’s Dismissal of Connor Stalions Over Sign-Stealing Allegations, Dave Portnoy Proposes “Lifetime Contract”

Dave Portnoy is someone who goes to war over his convictions. He is proud of his roots and his alma mater, the University of Michigan. Portnoy is a Michigan man through and through. He endeavored to express that sentiment at every opportunity that arose. Portnoy showed solidarity with his alma mater as they were under investigation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

The University of Michigan recently fired recruiting analyst Connor Stalions. Stalions was suspended with pay during the NCAA investigation, as per Dan Wetzel. That was far from the only suspension they incurred. Coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended for three games following an infraction in the NCAA recruiting rules. In light of all that, Dave Portnoy once again announced his support for those affiliated with his alma mater.

Dave Portnoy teases a lifetime contract for Connor Stalions

Following the revelation that Connor Stalions was relieved of his duties, Dave Portnoy went on his X handle. Portnoy, not one to take a shot at anyone associated with the University of Michigan lightly, had a rebuttal ready and waiting. He posted a tweet with the words, “In other news Barstool Sports offers Connor Stalions lifetime contract.” He added the hashtag #michiganman at the end of the same.

How Dave Portnoy proposes to help Connor Stalions through this time remains a mystery. It seems improbable that Connor Stalions will occupy a position the like of which he enjoyed at Ann Arbor, at least not anytime soon. For the moment, Portnoy showcased his support for the analyst. Meanwhile, the Wolverines will gear up to face the Purdue Boilermakers. They continue to boast an impeccable record despite the off-field travails.

Michigan power through despite the obstacles in their path

The Michigan Wolverines are 8-0 so far this season, averaging a little over 40 points a game. Only the Minnesota Golden Gophers got to double digits against them, in a 52-10 loss. The lowest score they recorded was in the 30-3 win over the East Carolina Pirates in the first game of the season. Their next opponents, the Boilermakers, are 2-6 for the season.

It remains to be seen how this scenario is resolved.
