Michigan running back Blake Corum denies being in business with Connor Stalions
Corum had no knowledge at all of this company or that his name was involved with anything involving Stalions. His attorneys are on it.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:19 PM ^
He also needs to be banned from ever again setting foot in Washtenaw County (if not the whole state of Michigan).
November 7th, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
To quote Franklin Hart, the primary antagonist of "9 To 5":
"So, I have a few faults. Who doesn't?"
November 7th, 2023 at 10:03 PM ^
You said taint
November 8th, 2023 at 12:57 AM ^
Huge taint even
November 7th, 2023 at 9:24 PM ^
Washtenaw County Property search indicates the address on Villa France Ave. is a residence owned by Stalions.
(Image redacted - just to be on the safe side, we probably do not need his precise address on the blog for all to see, although those who know where to look could easily find it. - LSA)
edit: excellent points. My apologies -msw17
November 7th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
Is this his private address? If so it should be taken down.
This fraud allegation is serious yes, but this information isn’t for a blog forum.
November 8th, 2023 at 2:05 PM ^
The address is on the public Wyoming legal entity registry, so I don't think its that big of deal to post here. Its not really a serious fraud thing if Stalions listed BC as a manger of his LLC improperly (technically could be violative of the WY business entity statute) unless he was doing to same for bank apps or marketing some sort of business scheme to third parties, but BC definitely has a reputational damage argument against Stalions for doing i with the way everything has played out.

Bought for 485K last year (according to Zillow) on a 55K a year salary?
November 7th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
It’s pretty reasonable.
Service academy students get a $35k career starter loan @ 1% apr during their junior year (2015 for Stalions).
they also get a housing allowance ($2k-$3k) during active duty (2017-2022 for stallions) which is effective tax-free income.
So about $150k, give or take $50k, he could’ve banked on top of his 35k.
Then there’s the VA loan and low interest rate
November 7th, 2023 at 9:52 PM ^
Possible, however my bet would be on rich parents.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
His parents are teachers, from what has been reported. Perhaps he's an only child?
November 7th, 2023 at 10:45 PM ^
He used a VA loan and, as many do, likely put zero down and financed some/all closing costs because the mortgage amount was about $17K higher than the purchase price.
Based on when he bought, interest rates were at the tail end of their beautiful 3% run. So $500K at 3% for 30 years is roughly $2100/month. Add ~$600/mo for taxes and $100 for insurance and you get a payment of ~$2800.
That's $33.6K/year, so pretty tight on a $55K salary unless the vacuum franchise was killing it, he had help from the parents, or he had a cash stash and was drawing down savings. Or some other soon-to-be-reported incredible factoid like he was a successful chinchilla farmer, crypto savant or male escort.
November 8th, 2023 at 6:18 AM ^
He also had the previous home he had used to Air B&B to use as collateral/paydown
November 7th, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
Thanks, fabulous to know he lives about .25 miles and one sub over from me. I need a new vacuum!!!
November 7th, 2023 at 9:24 PM ^
I just want to make this clear. I also deny being in business with Connor Stalions.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:27 PM ^
sure sign of being in business with mr c. stalions. no doubt.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
B1G logic at its finest.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
And I didn't fund his espionage network, honest.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
He offers employees long hours, low pay, and no chance for advancement.
November 7th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
But by gum, a glorious manifesto to live by!
November 7th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
I wish I had your foresight....I got duped by Connor.
We co-own a business that specializes in 18 sided Dice fixing pyramid schemes for regional Dungeons and Dragons Conventions.... but I never thought there was anything weird about him
November 8th, 2023 at 7:25 AM ^
Are we living in an AI trial simulation? Did Conor create this? Take off the 3d headsets before its too late!
November 7th, 2023 at 9:28 PM ^
+1 for spelling Connor Stalions correctly.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
You can't spell connor without "con."
November 7th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
*Conner
November 7th, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
The problem with spelling it correctly is that autocorrect will always undo your good work.
I just copy/pasted the headline though. 😏
November 7th, 2023 at 10:03 PM ^
When you try to google Connor Stalions google says, "Did you mean Connor Stallions"?
Edit: Lol, I just tried it again and now it doesn't. Only took three weeks for them to catch on.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
We landed on the moon
November 8th, 2023 at 7:40 AM ^
Don't spread rumors.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:31 PM ^
It's sounding like Stallions filed this LLC and signed Blake's name to it illegally. Dude might be going to jail for fraud.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:47 PM ^
Wasn’t he a hero the other day when he resigned?
November 7th, 2023 at 9:54 PM ^
It was certainly addition by subtraction. Sun's got to shine on a dog's ass once in a blue moon. For some, that comes in the form of resigning from your job...
November 7th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
Wait until they learn that these are just dummy houses and Stalions actual secret HQ is 40 miles off the coast at the bottom of Lake Erie
November 7th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
...doesn't this help the narrative that Connor Stallions is a rogue guy on his own who is insane?
November 7th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
dang the comparison of this guy to Ronnie Barnhardt gets more apt by the day
November 7th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
Wtf?!? Could there be more ridiculous drama? So sick of this nonsense.
November 7th, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
Now this gets interesting. Stalions has been a good soldier so far and is selling the he went "rogue" angle, but if Corum gets lawyers involved we will find out who is really telling the truth about whether Corum was actually in this business with him.
November 7th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
ohio troll
November 8th, 2023 at 2:12 PM ^
TROLL!
November 7th, 2023 at 10:10 PM ^
I may be alone on this but it feels like we're digging too deep here. This guy is going to get harrassed with all the ugly stuff that's coming out. I know it's in the Detroit News but the piling on feels wrong. He's a young guy.
November 7th, 2023 at 10:15 PM ^
He is 28 years old!
November 7th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
That's young to me. He now has to dig his way out of this, and this piece of information makes it seem as if he has some issues beyond being a superfan. I have no interest in digging up the worst things he's ever done.
November 7th, 2023 at 10:57 PM ^
I understand where you're coming from, but Blake Corum didn't ask to be involved in this either. But because of Stalion's alleged actions, Blake is having to answer questions about the situation, and have his lawyers start investigating to see what this deal is.
November 7th, 2023 at 11:30 PM ^
It's definitely a story worth posting, but I don't like the idea of mercilessly dragging Stalions. His name has been in the press non-stop for two weeks. He's been the butt of so many jokes (see link). We laugh but holy shit, this guy went from a code-cracking genius to a moron who couldn't cover his tracks to a disgraced ex-employee and now possibly a criminal. And it's all happened out in the open. He's still a human being who used to work for Michigan football.

November 7th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
I agree. Leave this man alone. We don't want to get burned by the molten lava!
November 7th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
If he committed fraud against a current player, it’s probably notable for the board and good for Blake that it was caught. It is kind of gross that someone leaked this though, because I presume whoever did it was trying harm the reputation of Corum and make him a villain. Had this truly been a joint business to rent properties, it’s not at all relevant to the sign stuff.
November 7th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
I see nothing to prevent Conor from becoming an FBI agent. So there's that.
November 7th, 2023 at 11:04 PM ^
So to recap:
• Stalions pens a strange 600-page manifesto detailing how he's going to take over Michigan football.
• He stretches the facts in his description of what he does for Michigan football on his resume
• He concocts a witless scouting scheme using easily traceable payments to amateurs that lands Michigan in hot water and threatens to jeopardize the 2023 season.
• He appears on the CMU sideline in full CMU garb
• He starts a weird vacuum-based business that results in vacuums piling up on his porch and then blames some MSU fan.
• He apparently lies on business forms about who his partners are in some Wyoming-based LLC.
IMHO, he's off the rails and needs serious counseling. Anybody who gets involved with him is asking for trouble.
November 7th, 2023 at 11:13 PM ^
One day, God willing, I too will have a "weird vacuum-based business."
November 8th, 2023 at 5:04 AM ^
And I say, if he is seeking counseling or has sought it, this poor soul, may be the one with an excellent lawsuit for defamation.
Delusions of grandeur are not crimes, nor in the bylaws of the NCAA, or the Big Ten, and yet…
Does working for Michigan preclude somebody from a side hustle say working to do what they do as their own job in addition for another team in another league that they don’t play?
So this delusional ““ idiot” is the one under investigation launched by a rival team that has led to the documented exposure of the same rival team in collusion with multiple other Big Ten teams to spy and steal the signals of Michigan football for competitive advantage?
Our modern Day, Don Quixote?
