After news started circulating that Jim Stapleton, a member of NCAA’s Infraction committee and a Michigan grad, could have been the one that leaked the information regarding Michigan’s sign stealing (John U. Bacon shared it on the radio) saying that Stapleton has it out for Harbaugh, Stapleton issued a statement:

Jim Stapleton, a U-M alum who is involved with the NCAA's COI, has released a statement responding to @Johnubacon's claims he is leaking information.

Know who can’t issue a statement? Jim Harbaugh, Conner Stalions and anyone at Michigan due to the NCAA’s gag order. Funny how Stapleton is the one that does so…
