During that season, former Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended for three games because of potential sign stealing that involved with assistant Connor Stalions. Sherrone Moore was the interim coach for those games. After Harbaugh left for the NFL, Moore took over as the head coach and finished with a 7-5 record during the 2024 college football season.

On Friday morning, the NCAA handed out punishments for the Wolverines football program. Moore was punished in his role with the sign stealing scandal along with Harbaugh and Stalions. Nick Schultz of on3.com reported about what the punishment was for Moore and said,
“A two-year show-cause order, during which he is suspended from a total of three games. Michigan self-imposed a two-game suspension for Moore during the upcoming 2025-26 football season. The panel determined that a suspension for one additional game was appropriate. Therefore, Moore also will be suspended for the first game of the 2026-27 season. Apart from the three-game suspension, Moore is not prohibited from engaging in coaching or other athletically related activities during the show-cause period. “
To go along with that punishment for Moore, they will face four years of probation as a football program and the recruitment for the football program will also take a hit. It is going to be interesting to see what happens with the Michigan football program over the next four years after this latest punishment.

NCAA is a joke

$20M fine and a suspension in 2026? That’s it?
Michigan just made that back in merch sales last weekend. If the NCAA wanted to send a message, this was more like a polite text. 📱

I mean if you’re a Michigan fan, you are ecstatic. Any fanbase would trade this for a National Championship

Confirmed cheaters

It is not a shock to see mixed reactions to this from college football fans. It is not a shock to see Ohio State Buckeyes fans calling the Wolverines cheaters. Well, it will be interesting to see how Moore will be able to coach this football program over the next four years despite all of these sanctions being dropped on this football program.
