The NCAA investigation into an alleged sign-stealing scheme by former Michigan football assistant Connor Stalions seems to have resulted in the pending dismissal of an assistant at a different program, as Central Michigan is expected to move on from quarterbacks coach Jake Kostner, according to Football Scoop.

Kostner was a student assistant at Michigan for four seasons and was familiar with Stalions while working with the Wolverines before coming on to CMU.

Kostner is still listed as a member of the Central Michigan football staff as of Thursday morning.

Part of the Michigan sign-stealing probe concerns Stalions reportedly being present on the Central Michigan sideline for a game versus Michigan State last season.

Central Michigan did not comment on any relationship between Kostner and Stalions, but did indicate that the institution will continue to cooperate with the NCAA investigation, per Detroit News.

“Central Michigan does not comment on ongoing personnel matters. The NCAA inquiry is still ongoing. We will continue to collaborate and look forward to a resolution,” school athletic director Amy Folan said in a statement amid speculation around Kostner’s position.

An official document obtained by Football Scoop shows that Stalions was not included among the people authorized to stand on the CMU sideline for its game versus Michigan State. It remains a concern as to how he was able to appear there without authority.

Stalions remains at the heart of the NCAA’s inquiry amid charges that he attended games of potential Michigan football opponents in order to record signs and signals from those teams.

He resigned his employment at Michigan in November, weeks after he was reportedly on the CMU sideline.

Multiple reports indicate that Michigan is set to get a formal Notice of Allegations this week from the NCAA connected to the sign-stealing probe, and another story implies that the Wolverines could be facing a playoff penalty of one or two years.
