It was a long time coming: Sherrone Moore, Michigan, Connor Stallions, Jim Harbaugh, and several others in Michigan were embroiled in the infamous sign-stealing controversy. And no major decision was being taken by the NCAA, except self-imposed game bans on Jim Harbaugh, along with Connor Stallions being fired for his alleged wrongdoings. Still, something concrete was needed, and that was the wider discourse in the footballing circles. And now? The NCAA decision has finally come.
According to a report by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, the NCAA has handed several penalties to Michigan that include several things, from 4 years’ probation to $20 million fine. “The NCAA levies against Michigan coach Sherrone Moore a 2-year show-case order and a three-game suspension: his self-imposed two-game suspension, and he is suspended for *the first game of the 2026 season,” reported Ross Dellenger on X. In a follow-up post, he expanded further on the various penalties Michigan will face.
NCAA penalties for Michigan:
– 4 years probation
– $50K fine + 10% of FB team’s budget
– fine equivalent to loss of 2 postseason $$$ (CFP/bowl)
– fine equivalent to cost of 10% of all FB scholarships
– 25% reduction in FB official visits
– 14-week prohibition on recruiting comms
