US EditionBig Ten Suggests to NCAA that Michigan Has Been Punished Enough for Sign-Stealing, AP Source Says
WASHTENAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN, JUL 21 – Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti said Michigan has faced adequate penalties after suspending former coach Jim Harbaugh for three games in the sign-stealing scandal, sources said.
- Amid the June Indianapolis hearing, Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti sent a letter urging no further NCAA penalties for Michigan, as a ruling is expected before the 2025 college football season.
- Amid revelations of game-day scouting by former staffer Connor Stalions, the NCAA investigation surfaced early in the 2023 season, prompting a three-game suspension for Jim Harbaugh and a two-game self-ban for Sherrone Moore.
- Evidence shows that Moore deleted text messages with Connor Stalions, the NCAA has charged Michigan with 11 rule violations including six Level 1 offenses, and potential sanctions span suspensions, fines, postseason bans or vacated wins.
- Though once booed by Michigan fans, Petitti told reporters he was `trying to do what's fair and protect the entire conference`, and he now argues that suspending Harbaugh was sufficient punishment.
- With penalties expected soon, the NCAA will decide whether Michigan's self-imposed ban for Moore suffices, and Petitti is set to speak Tuesday at Big Ten Football Media Days in Las Vegas.
