Michigan, Sherrone Moore Scrap Plans to Appeal NCAA Sign-Stealing Case
Michigan and Coach Sherrone Moore accepted penalties including up to $30 million in fines and suspensions, ending appeals in a case involving game sign-stealing during three seasons.
- On Oct. 6, the University of Michigan withdrew its appeal of NCAA penalties, and Sherrone Moore, Michigan head coach, dropped his appeal earlier this month, per the NCAA Division I Infractions Dashboard.
- The NCAA Committee on Infractions found multiple Level I violations tied to impermissible off-campus scouting during the 2021, 2022 and part of the 2023 seasons led by former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions.
- The NCAA levied multi-year and financial penalties against Michigan, placing the football program on four-year probation with fines up to $30,000,000 and sanctioning Sherrone Moore with a two-year show-cause and three-game suspension.
- The university said it withdrew `after careful consideration of the prolonged impact of an appeal on Michigan and our student athletes`, and with neither appealing, the case is expected to close.
- Despite sanctions, Michigan's recent titles and the 2023 national championship remain intact as Connor Stalions received an eight-year show-cause and Jim Harbaugh a 10-year show-cause.
