Big Ten's Tony Petitti confirms sending NCAA letter on Michigan's Connor Stalions case at media days, calls for faster resolution in ongoing saga.

Petitti on Tuesday confirmed that he wrote a letter to the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions on Michigan’s behalf, as reported this week by ESPN and later confirmed by MLive/ The Ann Arbor News, telling reporters at Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas that it’s “not uncommon for a conference office to weigh in.”

The Michigan football season is right around the corner, and there is a good chance that Bryce Underwood is the starting quarterback for the Wolverines. Underwood was the #1 player in the 2026 recruiting class, and it’s hard to imagine anyone winning the starting job over him.

Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti sent a letter to the NCAA advocating against further punishment for Michigan. The NCAA has charged Michigan with multiple Level I violations, including recruiting violations and deleting evidence.

Tre Williams, a sixth year defensive tackle who spent the past five years at Clemson, seems to have quickly adapted to the rivalry.

The Michigan football team is having a lot of success recruiting the 2026 class, and it is in good shape with a number of 2027 prospects as well. One player to watch for Sherrone Moore and the Wolverines is four-star quarterback Teddy Jarrard. Jarrard has narrowed his list of options down to five, and Michigan made the cut.
