Multiple Big Ten teams have uncovered evidence of ticket purchases in the name of Connor Stalions, a suspended analyst at the University of Michigan's football program, according to reports. The ticket purchases have sparked concerns as Stalions is currently under investigation by the NCAA for his alleged involvement in a sign-stealing scheme.

ESPN reported on Monday that eleven Big Ten schools have found evidence of Stalions purchasing tickets to at least one of their games over the past three seasons, citing unidentified sources. The Associated Press has confirmed through officials at three Big Ten schools that electronic purchases of game tickets in Stalions' name were indeed found.

The officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigation, revealed that one school discovered ticket purchases under Stalions' name for at least four of its home games in the last two years. Another school found evidence of Stalions purchasing tickets to five home games over the past three seasons, with some of the tickets being electronically transferred to other individuals' names. A third school uncovered a purchase made by Stalions for a game two weeks before their team played against Michigan last season.

The suspension of Stalions was announced by Michigan last Friday, with the staffer being placed on paid leave pending the conclusion of the investigation. Michigan spokesman, Dave Ablauf, stated on Monday that the school is unable to comment on the ongoing investigation.

In a troubling development, one school has reportedly obtained video surveillance footage from inside its stadium, which shows an individual suspected to be Stalions using a cell phone to record on-field activities. Additionally, ESPN reports that Stalions purchased tickets for Ohio State's home game against Penn State, although the tickets were ultimately not used. It is worth noting that Michigan is scheduled to face both Ohio State and Penn State later in the season.

The ticket purchases made under Stalions' name have added another layer of concern to the ongoing NCAA investigation into the alleged sign-stealing scheme. As the investigation progresses, it remains to be seen how these ticket purchases may be linked to the wider controversy and what implications they may have for Stalions and the University of Michigan football program.
