Michigan football program 'fired staffer over footage of him allegedly trying to solicit a 13-year-o
An employee who's part of Michigan's football program has been fired after shocking footage of him allegedly soliciting a 13-year-old girl has come to light, in the wake of the department's sign stealing scandal.
Described as a 'low-level' staffer by The Michigan Insider and Fox News, Alex Yood, who appears to be physically disabled, was put on the spot when he was seen with a bottle of liquor by Boopac Shakur -- an online vigilante who encountered online fame for exposing child predators by luring them to to meet with him, instead of who they thought they were interacting with.
Video shared on several social media platforms, including Instagram and X, shows Yood being approached by Shakur and another man called 'Dap' at a store while holding a bottle with transparent substance.
Yood, at first, claims he wasn't aware that he was speaking to a 13-year-old girl.
'Dap', however, recalls the minor's age being discussed on two occasions throughout their exchange. He then yells in the store that Yood is only there 'to meet a 13-year-old girl off the internet for sex.'

Yood is then followed to his car by Shakur and his collaboration partner, who's seen noticeably filming their entire interaction, while being pushed to answer questions as to why he would want to meet with an underage teen.
He's even asked if he kept a condom in his vehicle, and if he remembers some of the alleged text messages sent to the girl, like when he once told her to 'wear something cute.'
Yood eventually confesses to asking the girl if she was a virgin, footage shows.
He then gets in his car and drives away, but Shakur and 'Dap' are seen knocking on the vehicle's windows, demanding for more answers from Yood, but to no avail.
Yood was eventually fired after the clip was shared online on September 29.

'Alex Yood is no longer part of the athletic department,' confirmed a representative of the University of Michigan's athletics department to DailyMail.com. 'An issue was brought to our attention and we immediately moved to handle the matter with our HR department.
'We are unable to comment further regarding this employment matter.'
Meanwhile, there is mounting pressure on Big Ten Conference Commissioner Tony Petitti from football coaches to discipline Michigan and head coach Jim Harbaugh for an alleged sign-stealing scheme that has cast a cloud over the second-ranked Wolverines as the postseason approaches.
Coaches were angry and expressed frustration during a call with Petitti over a lack of action by the conference as mounting evidence supports allegations that a Michigan staffer sent people to games to do impermissible advanced scouting of opponents, according to two people with knowledge of Wednesday’s meeting, one who listened in on the call and another who participated, according to The Associated Press.
Michigan and the Big Ten have acknowledged the NCAA is investigating the Wolverines football program. Michigan has suspended low-level staffer Connor Stalions.
